Energy, Drive, Passion and your job- how to tie them together

Any of us who don’t admit to hitting that wall in our personal or professional lives is in a dream world.  Anything we do, that is repeated, day after day is a luster loser… It loses its fire, it becomes mundane and it’s a daily struggle to maintain our focus and energy.  But we must.  As I  become older, ( hopefully) wiser and better at my job I found that I stopped challenging myself at times.  And as I aged, my energy levels decreased and my passion wavered for all things.

Sound familiar?  Well Grasshopper, if it’s not happened to you, it will or you’re not admitting a fact of life.  People have made millions producing self-help books, tapes, DVD’s et all on how to live a meaningful, happy exciting life.  You don’t need to go pay a grand to listen to some guy stand up there and tell you the millions he’s made from his outlook on life.  He’s made those millions because people will buy that stuff.  Because we all want more….. more money……more happiness……more for our children…… more out of our lives.  And the elusive roadmap is right in front of us.

All of us who are self motivated, driven and want more ….. well… want more.   We search for it, we study it and we just almost find it.  At least that was me.  And age, weight lack of core strength was the one thing holding me back.  So let’s discuss a phenomenon that happened to me for a moment.

I was tired, “sick and tired of being sick and tired” so to speak.  Then I took the plunge and started a rigorous exercise regimentation.  Started working out 6 days a week, and have done that for nearly a year now.  IT WAS HARD… Make no mistake about it.  There were days when I just didn’t want to…. I fought it, hated it, but plowed on.  My method for improving my physical and mental outlook on life was working out at home with P90X and other Beachbody programs.  I can’t begin to tell you how proud I was when I completed my first 90 days of this program that on the surface was just something that was out of my reach both  physically and mentally. I was 52 when I first started this and everyone including me thought, ” what the hell are you doing this for?”  Well…. I’ll tell you why…. BECAUSE it seemed out of reach, unattainable, undooable…… And that made me want it that much more.

So here I am today, after 2 rounds of P90X, after 1 round of its big brother, P90X Plus, after 90 days of Chalene Johnson’s TurboFire ( 4 more weeks to go ) and now at 54 years old, I’m Leo DiCaprio on the bow of the Titanic screaming at anyone who’ll listen that I’m ” KING OF THE WORLD”  I’m NOT kidding folks.. You want to get out of your rut?  You want to get that promotion at work?  You want to go play sports again, but have given up because of….. well because your just too out of shape?  Do you want more?? 

Then show your kids, your wife, your husband, your boss, your friends, everyone you know that you have the answer to those poor souls out there that want it but don’t get it.  It’s time…. It’s time to become a leader, an innovator, it’s time to be that person that you look up to.  Stop making excuses, it’s time.  I’m available to anyone who wants to change things and start a wonderful, fulfilling exciting life.  Ask me and I’ll give you the tools for success.

You can’t imagine the way you can feel…. the way you can succeed…..  stop settling .  Go for it.

The gift I’ve given myself is the single best decision I’ve ever made..  And everyone in my life is benefiting from it.
