After I began boxing to help pay my way through college, some of my loved ones struggled to accept it.

A few HATED that I fought for a living.

Others thought it was a joke and I was just doing it for "fun."

Even after 15 pro fights, some people STILL weren’t happy that I was a boxer. They refused to watch me on TV, and thought it was awful that I was fighting because it was “not Christian” to fight for a living. 

But I stuck with it and climbed the ranks until I was one of the top-rated female fighters on the planet.

Make no mistake...when you choose to live your life as your true, authentic self, you'll get pushback from someone.

You may even be laughed at, rejected, or thrown out of church or people’s lives.

But here's the thing.

When you DON’T have a strong sense of who you are or what's right for you, you’ll spend your life trying to make other people happy, or not “hurt” anybody's feelings, or mold and conform yourself to what other people THINK you should be.

It reminds me of a book I heard about years ago, by an Australian nurse who interviewed a big group of elderly people who were each on their deathbeds.

Their number one regret was living a life based on what other people thought, instead of the life they really wanted.

Don't let this happen to you.

Instead, listen to this week’s podcast to learn why being true to you helps give you the courage and determination to succeed and live a life you truly love.
