I have a serious addiction. And I need to feed it almost daily. You may have the same need.
If so, lemme share my drug of choice with you...
>> INSPIRATION <<
To me, there's nothing else like the feeling of being passionately inspired. It's the most empowering emotion. I feel like I can be and do anything, that my potential is limitless.
And that feeling propels me into action.
How about you? Got the same addiction?
Yeah? Great.
Then I want to share some powerfully inspirational words with you right now.
But before I do, I also want to remind you to ACT on your inspiration. Don't just enjoy the buzz.
You need to channel that rush of adrenaline, serotonin and endorphin into movement that manifests
tangible results. Because movement beats meditation every time.
This time of year is probably the most inspirational of all for many people. It is for me. The promise of
a new year beginning, a new opportunity to set ambitious goals, do and be more, and more fully realize our potential, lies just hours away.
If you haven't done so yet, spend a few hours over the next couple of days writing down your goals for 2009 and the acttion steps for achieving them.
And I'd like to make a suggestion here, if you don't mind...
One of your goals MUST BE fitness related. Because fitness is THE activity, more so than any other, that can give you the personal freedom you want in this life. Building a better, healthier body -- is the ultimate "difference-maker." Our lifestyles create the body we have to live with and the effects of poor lifestyle choices are multiplied as we age because the abuse that we have been giving our body through poor food choices and lack of activity throughout our life accumulates with fat and other health related problems.
I would like nothing more than to help you channel your inspiration and motivation (sometimes referred
to as 'New Year's Resolutions'') into productive and decisive action.
Call me for a complimentary consultation to discuss your health and fitness needs. I will give you
an overall assessment of your current health and fitness status and discuss solutions to make a better YOU in 2009.
There is never any obligation to utilize our services, but I will promise you the truth.

Now, on to the inspirational words I promised you.
Here are some of my favorite quotes, worthy of printing and posting to your office wall, your bathroom mirror and anywhere else you will see them every single day:

***********************************************************
One of the personal qualities I've really focused on developing this past year is the attitude of gratitude. Regardless of whatever negative emotions I may be experiencing, I can always set my head right by expressing the tremendous gratitude I have for all the blessings in my life. The list is LONG, including God, family, health, country, friends, my fellow trainers -- Adam, Jim, Theresa, Cody and Lori -- and you. Thank you for being who you are, someone who seeks and works to be all you can be. I am grateful for you.
To your best year ever,
Joe Thiel
P.S. Celebrate tonight. Celebrate life, love, family and friends. And then get to work tomorrow creating everything you want and deserve.
