Sometimes, life teaches us lessons in the most unexpected ways—and sometimes, those lessons come from the younger ones we think we’re supposed to be teaching.
My 15-year-old nephew used to be overweight. At just 14 years old, he decided he didn’t want to stay that way. I was curious, so I asked him what he did. His answer was so simple, yet so powerful.
He told me he made two decisions:
- Walk 10,000 steps every single day.
- Stop eating at 6PM.
That’s it. No fad diet. No complicated workout plan. No expensive gym membership.
He walked every single day, making sure he hit those 10,000 steps. And when the clock struck 6PM, he was done eating for the day—no matter what. He stayed consistent, and before long, he lost 50 pounds.
Now, he’s lighter, healthier, and happier. Walking has become a natural part of his life. He looks amazing and feels even better.
When I was visiting him recently in London, we worked out together and even walked those 10,000 steps a few times. And let me tell you—he inspired me. If a teenager can make that decision, stick to it, and transform his life, then anyone can.
So, to you reading this right now: is there a change you’ve been wanting to make? Have you been hesitating, scared to take that first step? Let this be your sign—start now. Face that fear. Begin today.
As you stay consistent, you will achieve your goal. Don’t let fear or the judgment of others keep you from good health, freedom, or whatever your heart desires.
Let my nephew’s story be your inspiration. Get up and get going—there’s greatness waiting for you on the other side of your first step!
Don’t let anyone steal your joy!
With love,
Maryam 💛
