| is the meaning of life. Wrestle with it! Have fun in the process! Dare to discover a new healthier you. Get moving. You can find excitement, wonderful people and tons of motivation in your nearest gym today! What? Don't know how to use a phonebook? Can't afford it? Oh boy, here come the excuses again! Stop living the mediocre lifestyle! Become an artist with yourself! Dare to risk and overcome your fears. Focus, set goals, and so on, and so on, and so on... Just as movement is the door to learning, exercise is the key to self love. When you combine certainty with intensity, you have the power to transform. Live it! For me, the motivation, the intention of Body-for-LIFE was so much more than a good workout plan :-) I found through it I became more motivated and more of a balanced individual with greater goals than I had ever dreamed of before. I did more in the year of my Body-for-LIFE challenge than I'd done in decades! I found that the process was simply laid out. I found the motivation of Body-for-LIFE to be tied up within the Body, Mind & Spirit Health & Well Being Triangle, as well as in simple directives such as DECIDE, TAKE ACTION & PASS IT ON. But, the application was life changing and gave it's fair share of tests, challenges, victories as well as such wonderful feelings of self-worth to be worthy of the classification as one of the greatest programs of our time. Body-for-LIFE kept me focused and goal-oriented enough, over a long enough time, with enough personal challenges, high points and victories so I was able to let go of a lot of inner negatives and build into my life new patterns of positive living that I loved. I know you can find within Body-for-LIFE something of great value, something that ultimately touches all areas of your life, something that will meet your needs, and you will know that the program does work, once you get yourself out of the way, properly prepare yourself for it and give it your best effort. Don't waste another moment. Identify those weak spots, work 'em out and carry on! Celebrating more healthy living comes in many areas and forms other than just working out. Someday, all of us together can celebrate a happy living experience on this planet! I call such a possible wonderful living experience, "High Point Living!" Keep your dreams alive and keep tracking those results! Enjoy your Body-for-LIFE! Keep changing, progressing and moving forward. Keep your dreams alive by embracing them, focusing on the present moment and finding specific ways to counter-balance any imbalances that try to offset them! Take some time every day to really enjoy the sunshine. Take a walk with someone on a sunny afternoon. Phone a friend every day. Reach out to others. Share their tears and their happy times. Hey, and reach out and give someone a bear-hug! God knows that our world these days sure could use a lot more of them! Whenever you feel depressed, overwhelmed, or think you lack some motivation, go back to square one. Sometimes we just forget. Our memories fail us at times. Perhaps all you need is a quick reminder, to refocus or regroup, to pick up another key, or find a different route, or be reintroduced to a forgotten concept. Perhaps you just needed some time to formulate new invigorating thoughts or a new action plan. It's ongoing, and our memories fail us from time to time. Did I just say that? But there is always a good starting point to every day. Remember to be thankful for what you've been given, for today's starting point and always start with being kind to yourself. Kindness includes some sort of blood-circulating intense activity today in the Body, Mind, and Spirit that will advance your character. Just by getting out there, moving and being kind to yourself in some sort of activity, you'll gain something valuable to pass on and share with another. Remember also, that the clock is ticking with new empowering moments. Embrace each moment of opportunity for yourself and for others. Time waits for no one. It's just there for us to embrace and to use and will pass us by if we don't. Use it or lose it. The task is for us to use it wisely for everyone's health and well-being with enough intensity to make our world a better place. And the ground floor of motivation is all about ordinary people inspiring others in a way that changes lives. I love the sayings and affirmations from such people. I find them fascinating and they keep me going. And hey, I'm not finished by any means. I'm just an ordinary person who woke up this morning, who looks at life differently now. I'm just someone who knows that "Today, I can make a difference, and I've just begun!" And in that light, with that energy, I begin my day with a smile! I found something I wrote on my work-out sheet one morning while down in Orlando preparing to go to the Body For Life For You Convention. I'd like to share it with you. "Pride within, respects and cares for self. Dig deep. Find mentally tough High Point intensity. Embrace that moment with a smile. For within your smile you've already conquered losing attitudes and allowed your inner pride to win. Your true inner self has always been there and so has your power to dig deep and to touch it. You'll find it to be positive and pro-active. Decide to begin to live. Who holds the inner integrity and control in your life? Reach beyond present limitaions. Rediscover pride within. Tell yourself: "I can achieve this." Master each difficulty! There's beauty within every dream. You can achieve them! You can decide to begin. Start digging in!" Keep Changin' Yer Mind. It'll keep Changin' Your Body. And together, we can keep Changin' the World. I can't leave a question on motivation without giving you a link to all the positives that others left for me on my Encouragements Pages of my workout binder. You'll find them about 6 pages into My Story at http://www.geocities.com/danhanewich/BodyforLIFE100.html. Enjoy! And keep smiling! May God richly bless all that you do, and may all of your dreams come true! I wish you great new beginnings! "Today, no walls can separate humanitarian or human rights issues in one part of the world from national security crises in another. What begins with the failure to uphold the dignity of one life all too often ends with a calamity for entire nations." - U.N. Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Kofi Annan |
