Basically, I had <em>lots <\/em>of \u201creasons\u201d why today wasn\u2019t a very good day to take a run!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After taking some time to really go within and stop blaming everything and everyone <em>outside <\/em>of me for what was happening, I decided that I needed to look to see what was stopping me. And one of the things that was stopping me was that I haven\u2019t been doing my training \u2013 my running training \u2013 the way I promised myself I would. And I find that any time I am out of integrity with myself, everything sort of starts to unravel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You may be feeling in your own life as if things are coming apart \u2013 whether that\u2019s in your relationship, your lack of relationship, or your business or career \u2013 and you can\u2019t quite figure out why everything is happening at once. So, I thought I take a moment to make this video and let you know that it can be that you are out of integrity in some area of your life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now, people have all type of definitions for what integrity is. Integrity is doing what you said you were going to do, simply because you said you were going to do it, and doing it without someone having to tell you to it or reminding you to do it, but just because you gave your word.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I\u2019ve given my word to myself that I was going to get back in shape and I was going to train for a half-marathon. And I did great for my 5K, and then once that was over, I was like, \u201cOkay, I did that part!\u201d and I went out of integrity. So that\u2019s impacting, not only my health, but it\u2019s impacting places in my business and places in friendship, my family, and things like that are very important to me. And I\u2019m just not committed to not having my life work and not having everything that my heart desires \u2013 and that means workability in every area of my life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, I want you to take a moment and I want to tell you what I asked myself and you can ask yourself these questions as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You may want to write this down or come back to the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What\u2019s not working?<\/strong><\/span> Write down what it feels is not working in any area of your life.

A lot of times, we may believe that what\u2019s not working is something outside of ourselves \u2013 our boss, boyfriend, guys on the online dating site, a family member \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t work to point outside, because you don\u2019t really have control over those things or those people. What works best is to look inside is to ask, <em>\u201cWhat\u2019s missing over here?\u201d <\/em> For me, it was integrity. Maybe for you it\u2019s integrity. Maybe it\u2019s real commitment. If you saw the <a href=\"http:\/\/heartsdesireintl.com\/its-time-to-take-committed-action\/\">blog post<\/a> on Saturday, maybe what\u2019s missing is committed action. Maybe what\u2019s missing is forgiveness. Maybe there is a relationship that is not working because forgiveness is missing\u2026 or compassion\u2026 or fun! If your life is boring and you\u2019re frustrated, what\u2019s missing is fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><strong>What can <em>I <\/em>do to bring what\u2019s missing?<\/strong><\/span> What can I do? What\u2019s in my power, my control, to bring what\u2019s missing? So, for me, what there was to do was to get my running shoes on, get out of the house in the 30 minutes that I had in the 30 minutes I had before having to go pick up my kids, and get to running! What\u2019s it for you?
