The Story You Tell Yourself Is What Matters
Make Your Story Epic.

As long as we are here on this earth, we’ll inevitably have people who will stand in the way to block us from reaching our dreams, mostly through their words and sometimes with their actions.
Does that mean it’s game over for you? Sadly for some, It is. They accept the victimization world. They blame everything on the outside force, whatever that might be.
And some of you never settle for what has happened to you. You take full responsibility for the things you could control and those outside of your control — you turn them into lessons learned and grow stronger.
The Soundtrack You Play In Your Head
After giving birth to eight kids, I gained a lot of weight, and as much as I would love to look fiercely fit, my gut was a bit out-there on the seen ( dear my belly, I adore you still and don’t worry, baby girl I’ll get you to the six-pack-dream. You know us. We are here to embrace the struggle, rise, and bounce back to transformation roads that lead to Greatness).
As I said earlier, you’ll have people stand in your way of the vision you see for yourself, whether it is to be fit and healthy, having a promising career, and all of the things you aspire to accomplish.
A family member told me, sadly, “That muffin-top of yours Zahra, it’s too late to get it back to its normal position.” The funny thing is that the person was telling me this wasn’t immune to being chunky herself.
I had to decide whether I would mute her voice in my head or let it run the show — the power of CHOICE, play, or mute. I chose to play the soundtrack of my own.
Make It Epic
To you gem reader, I say, play an epic soundtrack story of yours. Honestly, there’s got to be some incredible, insane things you have done. And I know this one is coming: Well, Zahra…I don’t have anything interesting to play.
I am not buying that because you are a masterpiece creation. Don’t have a story to play? Go create one! Create the story that knocks the chill out of you, one that sets a raging fire inside your heart to go for the domination mode. I believe in your story. Yours is what matters.
“We are defined by the stories we tell ourselves.” Tony Robbins
It’s a cold world, and no one is coming to save you, but you. Those voices of what people said of me would creep their way to my head while I exercised, and I made a conscious choice to turn the volume up of the story I was going to run.
Fighter. That one word is the most repeated word I use to crush my five-mile run every morning while fasting for 23 hours. While still juggling my eight crew, I try to make the journey enjoyable by taping to my imagination — inviting Jillian Michael's to scream at me and give her the script to say, yo Zahra, is that all you got?
You got to cultivate creativity and come up with ways that will be the gasoline to make that fire for change burn to your victory.
Talking to yourself may seem weird, but don’t worry, they can’t hear you. Here’s the magic it does though, It gets you to live the epic story you played, and that is what matters.
“The only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.” Tony Robbins
Who is going to rock the runway? Other’s story or Yours? The power has always been in you. Go live your epic dreams because you deserve every happiness.
