No Matter What ...

Just got back from Isagenix Celebration and talk about a WOW! experience.  I came away KNOWING that Isagenix is a company based on integrity and a genuine desire to create health and longevity for it's users!

I think the highlight of the trip (aside from shopping at the Isa-store and getting the cutest kitchen magnets ever - did I mention I'm a dork for swag?) was hearing Les Brown speak!  He reminded me there is greatness in every single one of us!

Each of us has a story to tell. NO MATTER WHAT it is there is some unique purpose (or rather a combination of purposes) that is can only be brought into the world by YOU.

What is your Unique Purpose? Think about your story ... what are the elements that belong only you? Ask yourself why, why do you want to be healthy? And I'm not just talking physically, I'm talking mentally, spiritually and financially too ....  Why do you want to be the best you possible?

For me, it's because there's a drive in me.  I can't NOT DO IT. I know that part of the reason I am on this earth is to inspire folks to change their lives.  To challenge them to do better, to be better, to really grow the whole person.
That said my challenge to all of you out there is this ... you are at a crossroads ...  think of something you have been putting off or avoiding.  You can either keep doing things the way you've been doing them and get the results you've been getting ... OR YOU CAN CHANGE.

For me, the place I need to step up is with the exercise ... while I do exercise ... to say I do it regularly is a stretch. Starting here, starting now, that's changing.


REGULAR EXERCISE is my new mantra.  If I have to get my butt out of bed earlier, I pledge to do so.  You know why?  Because NO MATTER WHAT, I am going to be healthy.  NO MATTER WHAT I am going to be successful. NO MATTER WHAT, I am working to bring my gifts to the world.

This week think about where you are and where you want to be. What is your big dream?  Your secret hope? Your deepest desire?  What are you willing to do to achieve those things?  What are you willing to do NO MATTER WHAT to reach your greatness?   Everything is possible!  It's up to you to make it happen!

Have a fantastic week!

Winner! Winner! Winner!

Well, the Isabody Challenge for 2010 is over and guess what?  I finished in the top 10 out of 4000 entrants!  That's right!  I am so excited by this.  First because it's a huge honor to be included among a group of people who have worked so hard to transform their lives.  And second because, I managed to reach a goal! I released 50 pounds in about six months and have kept it off.

And continue to keep it off!  (as well as continue to change my body)

My life is completely different ... my mind, body and spirit have transformed.

I have struggled with my weight since childhood.  My earliest memory of being 'too fat' was age 5!  This has been a monkey on my back that has followed me throughout my life. Somewhere deep inside myself I held on to the belief that because I was not able to set a goal of loosing weight and stick to it, that setting goals in general was an exercise in futility!

THIS IS THE TRANSFORMATION in me!

Here's the secret I learned, some goals are meant to be achieved, others are not.  Others are meant to be failed at, learned from, re-tooled and retried. And the most important lessons are often learned more from the failures than the successes.

The secret is to keep on going, no matter what. If you want something badly enough, no matter what it is, don't stop, don't give up and don't give in!  Remember this and eventually YOU WILL FIND A WAY TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS!  This is the strategy of a TRUE WINNER!
