The Revitalization of my Life-Day 61

I woke up this morning feeling GREAT! I thought about how far I had come since I started revitalizing my life. Not only has it made me a better person but it has created an ore that makes others happy as well. I was thinking just last night that I hadn't worked out in a few months. Working out was one of the main reasons for me writing in this blog. It was suppose to keep me focused and motivated. I have had plenty of opportunities to get out and run, but every time I do, I forget that I need some new running shoes. I must admit. I have had plenty of opportunities to buy me a pair but every time I get the chance, I see something that my wife either wants or needs and I say to myself, "my shoes can wait, but her happiness can't." I have done this a few times and each time, I get the same feeling, a feeling that happiness just can't define.

This is the part of my revitalization that wasn't included. I had no idea that things like this would come up. I was mainly focusing on myself and getting myself together. What I didn't realize is that once you get married, the other person becomes so much a part of you until whenever you do something to improve yourself, you actually improving them. It's only been 61 days, but I have done so much to improve my life, our life. As I sit here and look back, it's amazing; it's motivation. To know that I can sacrifice my wants and needs for the wants and needs of my wife, is motivation to me. This gives me the drive to make a way to get those running shoes so that I can add to my revitalization.

Sacrifice is one of the main ingredients in life. To show that you are willing to give up something of yours for someone else, is the ultimate. Just as God gave us his only son and his son gave his life. Imagining giving your life for someone you don't know, knowing that you have the ability to stop yourself from dying. Imagine the suffering. Imagine all of the pain. And to think, we don't even want to sacrifice something minuet as time or money. We let pride take over. What if Jesus would have let his pride take over. As a matter of fact, what if God let his pride take over every time you ask him for forgiveness or ask for him to bless you? If we know that God wouldn't do us like that, then why would we do another human being that way? Sacrifice is the key. Give up something of yours today for someone else. I guarantee that you will feel a feeling like none other. This is one of the reasons why I am such a happy person; because I sacrifice for my wife and family all the time. What will you sacrifice today?
