Is What You are Hiding from Holding You Back?

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Haiti & spend a week there. I was able to travel around the country to visit local churches, & a couple of schools where I was able to meet students. It really made me think about the things we take for granted here in our country including our health & fitness.

Haiti is a county that does not have an obesity problem due to the lack of food supply from poverty. Most of us have taken for granted that we will always have our next meal and therefore have developed food addictions that have lead to overeating and eventually obesity. As American's we put value on luxury cars, homes with meticulous landscaping, & other "toys". We also take great pride in having nice hair, expensive clothes, jewelry & getting our nails done on a regular basis. We use these material things to hide behind & cover up our emotional insecurities or other weaknesses.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much time, energy & money that you put into your car, house, lawncare, boat, expensive dinners out, clothes, hair, etc.? Now stop and think about how much time, energy & money that you put into taking care of your body? I'm not taking about skin care, hair, massages, diet pills or plastic surgeries. I am talking about a well rounded fitness program that including sweating & getting your heart rate up along with putting proper foods for fuel into your body!

You will pay to put premium gas into your car so why are you putting the cheap fuel into the most important vessel of transportation that you own...your body?

If you are not where you want to be in life in your finance, career, personal life, or health, I would like to challenge you to quit making excuses and blaming others for your failures & take control over your own life today.

Begin by treating your body like it is your finest possession that you have.

If you would like help to take the next step in achieving your full potential in life, please contact me and I will be glad to help you develop a plan for your personal success.
