Go ahead and give it a shot. Nothing is more empowering than successfully doing something you thought you could not do.
When you surpass one assumption, you'll begin to question other limiting assumptions. When you step out of your comfort zone and taste success, you're suddenly confronted with a whole new level of exciting possibilities.
What have you always told yourself that you're not capable of doing? Imagine what would happen if you went ahead and successfully did it.
Your whole concept of what is possible will radically change. Your confidence will skyrocket to amazing levels.
Take the first step, because you know you can go at least that far. You'll quickly discover that the next step is within your reach, and then the next one, and the one after that.
See it through, and succeed at doing what you previously thought you could not do. Feel the full power of your own intention.

You Gotta Move
I've always said that "Movement" is the key to living longer.

Right Now
The place to start is where you are. The way to start is by doing what you can, with what you know, using what you have.
You may get it wrong at first. But if you wait until you're sure you can get it perfect, you'll never get it done.
The best learning comes from doing. The way to get the experience you seek is to get busy without hesitation.
The longer you wait to get started, the more powerful your doubts will grow. Jump in right away, get going, and those doubts won't have a chance to take hold.
Time always moves forward whether you move forward or not. Your most effective strategy is to make use of each moment as soon as it arrives.
There's no end to what you can accomplish if you'll just go ahead and get going. Now is what you have, so make NOW your time to begin.

Another I Will....
I WILL...
1. Continue asking questions and getting feedback from my other team members to help myself become a "better" trainer.
2. Get to the beach 2 or 3 more times this summer (hopefully!!)
3. Start my training plan for my first marathon.
4. Make sure I am always ready to go (well rested, energized, motivating) for my clients so I can make their time at Fitness 121 the BEST part of their day.
5. Get together with friends I graduated with from ESU, who I have not seen since October this month.
6.Stay postive and strong, not only for myself, but for my family, friends, clients, and team members...even (especially) when times are tough...
7. Add 2-3 more clients to my schedule.

Achieving Destiny
Get completely clear about your objective. If all you have is a vague idea, then work on fleshing it out so it becomes detailed and specific.
Act now. Opportunities do not wait for conditions to be perfect.
Persist in your efforts. Make all of your work count for something by seeing it through to the finish.
Be thankful for the challenges and enjoy working through them. For they are where the real value is created.
Connect your goal to a meaningful purpose. When you're clear about why, you'll surely be able to take care of how.
Every frustration, every dissatisfaction you feel is really an urge to achieve. Follow those urges all the way through, and make the positive difference that is your destiny.

Predicting the future
The most accurate way to predict the future is to get busy creating it.
Though you cannot guess what's going to happen, you can know for sure what you intend to do.
Do you wish to be in the right place at the right time? Then commit to creating real value in every time and place where you find yourself.
The most reliable way to get in on a good thing is to put forth the effort that makes that good thing real. A surefire way to have good luck is to create your own luck through the actions you take.
It serves no purpose to wish for what you don't have. Use that energy to fulfill, express and expand upon all the great possibilities you do have.
The more generously you participate in life, the more it will go your way. Always see the positive possibilities in the way things are, and things will work to the benefit of you and those around you.
The future belongs to those who act with commitment, persistence and positive purpose in the present. Use this now moment to make your best predictions for the future come to life.

Get Over it
During my run on Sunday someone asked me "what I was training for?" I replied "I'm doing an IRONMAN this July." After the "WOW's and That's great" the questions switched to "How far you swimming, cycling, running, how many days/hrs etc?"
I began to question myself when I described my training schedule and the guy shot me a "is that it?" look.
Refusing to second guess myself I explained that (like life) training for IRONMAN isn't about executing a perfect plan, it's about adjusting to situations and managing the moment. Nothing goes as it should in life, training or Ironman; in having this knowledge and accepting it -we can adjust our plan accordingly and keep at it.
So to all in life, all who train for anything. "Don't let distractions take over. Take over distractions." Lose the excuses.
The truth is that there has never been worse time for me to train for this event; My foot hurts, the economy is shaky, I'm working longer and I am commited to not waking up at 3am or eatining dinner at 9pm. So I'm forced to do more with less under less than ideal circumstances, just like in life; just like an IRONMAN.

Devotion
By now, most "Resolutions" have gone by the waist side. I suggest some "Devotion" instead. Beginning today, Devote yourself to these 3 simple things.
1 - What you do...Cardiovascular and weight training…You need both to preserve and improve heart and lung health (cardiovascular) and build and maintain healthy tissue (muscle, skin, bone, organ function). The answer to how long depends on how hard and how smart you work. Every "body" is different; speak with your trainer about how you can improve your current program.
2 - What you ingest...You say you "love" food? Good, now learn to love good food. It’s too hard to eat well you say? Then please don't complain about your body. Eat a balanced diet. Consume more fruits and vegetables than you are currently. If nothing else, drink more water. I can't make it any more simple.
3 - What you think about… We are but products of our own continuous thoughts. Whatever we choose as our focus, becomes our reality - eventually . See yourself as healthy, and energetic and the picture will aid you in your endeavors. Most people fail to change their lifestyle simply because they feel it is too far out of their reach. You must first see it and believe it FOR YOURSELF if you are to achieve it. Around my neck is a TAG that reads "Move in the direction of where you want to go, if you do - you will."

It's perhaps the most valuable lesson I have ever learned. Try it for yourself. Start today.
