Control of your life starts by controlling the genre of your thoughts.  The positive quality or the negative quality of your thoughts are directly linked to the results you get in your life. Negative thoughts beget negative results… positive thoughts beget positive results. I’ve never seen such an overlooked simple fact.  Use it, to your advantage.

“Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.”

You exercise personal integrity, when what you do, who you are, what you say, what you feel and what you think… all come from the same place.  A place defined and built by only you.

When we’re motivated by chosen goals that have deep personal meaning, by dreams and aspirations that need doing and completing, by friendship, kindness, empathy and love that need sharing… then we can truly live a life with purpose.

We often forget this very key point – that the human experience and skill set is so varied and our lives so diverse… that we all have our own personal pace at things.  No matter the depth of the subject at hand… it’s never too late to fix, start or stop something.

A good fitness trainer stands for the client… helping them to recall the truth of what they want for themselves and the real possibility of attaining it through consistent, dedicated and directed behavior over the short and long-term – even when the client has forgotten or misplaced their goals.  Standing for the client means having energy when they do not, having motivation when they do not and being what they themselves would like to achieve.

Your conscious mind takes up to 17% of your total brain power… but only controls about 3% of your perceptions and behaviors at any given time.  While on the other hand, the non-conscious mind occupies 83% of your total brain power at any given time and controls around 97% of your perceptions and behavior.  Meaning, that you can know something without needing to know the reason why and sometimes trying to explain what you know to be true can leave you speechless when trying to explain.  In fact, your non-conscious mind can process things up to 800 times faster than your conscious mind.  What a great resource!  Now, some may call it an intuition or merely a gut instinct – but it’s really your mind that already knows the answer and/or the outcome in the first place.  Trust it… and you don’t need to explain!

You’re invited to join the fun under the sun February 14 and 15th, 2010 in Tucson, AZ.  StrengthLab Fitness Training is represented by a 4-man team riding the course for 24 hours straight!

As human beings we drive ourselves… that’s what can often lead to success and satisfaction in our lives. But driving ourselves toward goals without proper reflection can often lead to results that were not really our true intentions in the first place. Careful assessment of daily tasks and longterm goals are necessary to ensure that our energy is not wasted on outcomes that were never desired in the first place.

See you there!

Integrity as being defined by adherence to personal moral and ethical principles or soundness of moral character or just plain honesty… is a prerequisite for good judgement and on-going success in life. You can have all the power, beauty, money, intelligence or energy one person can solely possess, but without solid integrity, all those previously mentioned qualities will simply burn, bury, destroy or kill you.

Finding the balance between healthy training and training too much has often been my personal challenge over the years. But recently… I’ve wanted to be more truthful than competitive, more honest and open, than hungry for shaved time and improved race results. A few spots back here, or a few extra seconds there, doesn’t really detract from the physical experience anymore… I think that I’ve finally found some well earned balance.

Because there’s people who need you – enough said.
