You CAN Do Anything.

You know when you watch action flicks and you have that tense feeling, wondering how that hero of the story is going to prevail and kick butt? And then they do, and you are like so AMPED?? Why do you think that can only happen in movies? I mean really kids, I slay aliens EVERY DAY like it is MY JOB. hehehe

Kicking butt doesn't just happen in the movies. Conquering the enemy - whatever that may be- doesn't just happen in the movies. You can be that ass kicker in real life. You simply have to choose to do it. I know I have, and it is changing my body, my mind and my life. 

Don't misunderstand- kicking butt, that's just a general description for anything we want to conquer or achieve in life. To reach our goals, we usually will encounter road blocks and myriad impediments along the way. We have to learn to anticipate this and then learn how to conquer those things that get in our way. We have to learn how to incorporate a "Never Quit" attitude because when you understand that THE ONLY WAY TO FAIL IS TO QUIT, you will change your life. 

This month, I'll be posting a lot about the lessons I've learned in 2010 and how they've made a huge impact on my life, well, actually how they are just STARTING to make a huge impact on my life. For the first time in several years, I am heading into the New Year with 100% Confidence that I will reach my goals AND THEN SOME. For the first time, I am truly happy with where I am so far, and I know without a doubt that I will blow my mind in 2011. I KNOW. I haven't had that inner awareness, that true inner confidence of KNOWING and TRUSTING myself to kick butt in a bigger way than ever before. For the first time, I'm pushing FEAR to the back seat. I have learned to recognize FEAR and face it HEAD ON instead of giving IN to it. 

 

I had a colleague (with the same name as I have) enlighten me that my name actually means "Warrior". My former trainer Jay used to always call me a Warrior- an "UNSTOPPABLE WARRIOR" because he would create killer sessions to try and make me step out of my comfort zone and CRUSH IT. And I did. When I looked up my name and realized that indeed it does mean Warrior I realized how cool I really am. I mean I KNEW I WAS COOL BEFORE BUT NOW I'M EVEN MORE SO. ;-) 

Part of growing and getting better- personally, professionally, spiritually- is understanding the mistakes you've made in the past, and figuring out how you can do better. If you think YOU are the underdog....OWN it. And then CRUSH IT!!

In 2010 I learned:

• Multi-Tasking is NOT a solution for doing more. Multi-Tasking means doing a ton of stuff with LESS focus and less-than-stellar-results.
• You truly cannot please everyone. 
• Fear is the enemy. It will keep you from reaching your highest potential. 
• Facing your fears head-on is liberating.
• Balance is refreshing.
• I didn't know my own strength, mentally and physically.
• I CAN do anything I set my mind to do.
• I AM TRULY UNSTOPPABLE. 
• Life CAN begin again, time and again. 
• When the going gets tough, I GET MORE TOUGH.
• Doubting yourself is just another form of FEAR, AND I WON'T HAVE IT IN MY HOUSE.
• How to trust myself. 

Maybe you aren't in to action flicks like I am. I just know that yea, quite often, when I'm on that treadmill or getting in my running training for my next "first" 1/2 marathon, and I'm tired and stressed and thinking about LIFE STUFF, I dig deep and think of KICKING SOME SERIOUS A** and then I DO. 

 

QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is your mantra/theme for 2011 success? Mine is NO FEAR.
