You, yes you, you can! Didn't anyone ever tell you that?

Yes, YOU can…Turn your dreams into reality.

I thought I'd take a second to tell you how awesome you are. Yes, my little doubter, I'm talking to you. No one else matters more than you.

You are truly an amazing person.

You make an effort to eat right, when the truth of the matter is 99% of the people you will run into each and every day would laugh and call you a health nut, but the fact is they wish they had the self-control you have.

You get in your workouts even when you don't feel like it. When others are too busy watching reruns, you make productive use of your time.

You read books like this one and feed your mind. Did you know most adults do not read, or finish another non-fiction book after school? You feed your mind because you’re above the rest.

You take the hits and keep coming. Do you realize how many people quit after the first obstacle? You've gone through ups and downs and still keep at it.

You are truly awesome.

I've been thinking a lot about life and how fast it really goes. I mean, Y2K was like yesterday right? Man, my oldest son is going to be 5 soon. Wasn't I just late for my morning workout because I was at the hospital?

And my middle dude, Lincoln, wasn't he born last month? Nope. Almost 4 years ago.

And my youngest, my baby girl Sariah, it feels like she was born yesterday, but she’s going on 2.

Before you know it, another 1, 5, 10 years will have come and gone. Where will you be?

Pick a goal you want to reach in the next 5 years. Now go start it today, a.s.a.p.

Think of where you would be, what would be different, what would be better today if you had started working towards it 5 years ago.

It's amazing how time fly’s and if we aren't proactive towards designing our own lives, man, it's really easy to get swept away with the flow and before you know it your goals, dreams aspirations aspirations are out the window. Oh, of course there will be some great reason as to why you didn't achieve them right?!

Is there a goal you want to achieve right now?

Are you looking to change jobs, or start a new career path? If you could change directions, take a leap of faith and go into any career you choose, what would you do? Go do it. There is help, advice, even friends who can help you make that happen.

Are you looking to reach a new level of fitness or health? Take 3 months and focus on nothing but that and see how amazing the results can be. Join a weight loss challenge, cut the junk, increase the intensity, drink more water, do something, but do it for 3 months. None of this 14 day crap. If you could change your LIFE, why would you not give 3 months to do it?

Are you looking for a change in your personal life or maybe just a new flow of passion into your existing one? It's possible if you take charge and make it happen.

There are resources galore, often FREE, that will help, coach, guide and get you to anyplace you want to be. Heck, if you really think you're stuck and need help tell me and I'll get you resources.

The sky is the limit.

Don't settle! Strive for you goals, keep going, keep at it, you can do it.

I believe in you.

To your success, 

Al
