‎"Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing." James 1:2-4

Bullies are everywhere.  Most of us have encountered them in our life at some point.  If you've been listening to the news this past week you have heard about how bullying has gone to extremes.  Kids are ostracized by their peers in a variety of ways like the internet, through texts, and at school.  

Today we are going to take a moment and look at our inner bully.  As you reflect on your accomplishments of the day do you play the tape in your head that focuses on your mistakes & failures?  Or maybe you have attempted to stay on track with healthy eating and your fitness program this week but you haven't ended up where you wanted. 
Rejoice in the fact that with Meltdown it is an opportunity to change. 

What happened in the past is just that ~ in the past!  Create a new endurance.  Let the past go, give yourself a chance to grow, and have joy along the journey.  Remember that a bully is not going to continue to bother someone who they feel is going to try & challenge them ~ so challenge yourself this next week with 3 nights of Meltdown exercise classes!  Say goodbye to your inner bully & hello to a healthy lifestyle!

I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am.
