Fear is what stops us from being great.

Fear is what stops us from being great, it hold us from stepping forward to life; it is the ENEMY that doesn’t let us be what we really were meant to be. And yes, we all have fears, you name it: fear of success, fear of heights, fear of dying, fear of getting that job, fear of exercising and getting healthy etc.

What happens when you cross the barrier of fear?? After reading many, many books like “Feel the fear and do it anyway” by Susan Jeffers, books of mastering your thoughts, etc., I changed my perspective of fear. That knowledge will help people take the road and drive thru their path. What happens when you, yourself, overcome it, feel it, do it, is: “WISDOM COMES”. You have to experience it with your body, your mind and your soul, that’s when you really breakthrough and become better.

This Friday October 1, 2010 was an amazing day, o yeaaaa. I work with the greatest team of trainers ever; we really are the best striving daily to get even better. Billy Beck III, our boss, friend and awesome person ever, took us to challenge ourselves to overcome fear, step forward and be better persons and trainers. What an experience!!! He took us to do tide rope where you have to walk on a rope 40 something feet above the floor hanged by a harness. It wasn’t that easy!!!!!
To talk about my fears, I always was afraid of heights. Deep inside scared, due to an experience I had when I was little.
Was I scared?? Yes, but I mentally changed my perspective of my fear just by not thinking about it.

In early 2010, I wrote in my goals that I would like to overcome my greatest fears, and that day I internalized that goal and I said to myself : “You have to do it no matter what”, opportunities don’t come every day, it is now or maybe never, and that I can do it with this great group of people that are in the same situation I am, with their help, coaching and energy we will all do it together as a team and grow.(By the way I like this word “GROW” we do have to grow or we get stagnant, and if you are stagnant you are dead); to always be better persons and trainers, to better help our clients, family and friends, and make a difference in this world.

I want to thank my spiritual guide, I name it God, for being there and inspire me.

When we want to have something in life we have to dream it, write it, feel that you have accomplished it and be optimistic of getting it.

Keep Moving, Keep Smiling!!! We live once.

“TO BE OR NOT TO BE HAPPY” That’s your decision!!!

Research has proven that happy people live longer, are healthier, more successful, enjoy deep relationships, earn more money, and are liked and better respected.

But what happens? That people are almost always worrying in spending their energies and time in small things that are not that important. So it’s better to stay focus in what it is important, be proactive, searching for actions that takes us to self growth.

If you just take a few minutes every day and be thankfull for all the blessings & positive things that you have gotten into your lives, just by this act you will experience positive feelings of happiness.
These are some of the principles that I use to keep my self happy, they work for me and I hope they will work for you too.

**Keep good relationships with family and friends
**Be an optimist (try to extend the time you spend on positive thoughts.)
**Keep a sincere smile, and laugh a lot. Act happy. It won’t hurt if you do it with someone you don’t even know.
**Do some physical activity; exercise regularly. This brings your serotonin up.
**Pray. Believe in God, be spiritual.
**Be generous and share with others. Give with your heart, and give more than you receive.
**Love your body and accept it just the way it was created. And take care of it; this is the temple of your soul.
**Read, exercise your mind, search for new subjects, projects, ideas.

To be Happy is a decision that you have to make. And there are just two options:
To Be or Not To Be Happy” Which one would you choose???

We need to set our goals wisely and to develop happy-thought strategies and to surround ourselves with encouraging and positive people.

Be open to new possibilities and don’t judge, try not to take things personally, open your heart to whom is in need, be honest, and accept the today, that will open your mind and spirit to you and to whom is in contact with you.

Be an optimist; be positive and laugh, LAUGH A LOT!!!!!!!!!

Keep Moving!!!!

HOW ARE YOU DOING??

I was today at the supermarket, and I heard this answer as I walked by:
A women asked : How are you doing Sir? The answer was? “Not so bad”

This is the 2nd time in this week that I heard this same answer. The other day at the gym I asked the same question to a client: Not so bad Diana, he said.

What does this answer mean: that 50% of your life is kind of bad and 50% is good???
Or that you might not want to say that your life could be better but is not??

The truth is that when someone ask you how are you doing, they DO NOT CARE AT ALL!!!! it is just a polite way of saying “HI”.

So why don’t people just say something positive, like:
“Great thanks?
Every time you put a bad word, thought or believe and you express it, it will be the way you react in life. But if just by saying awesome even if it’s not completely true, your mind set and believe will change in a positive way.

“The joy of life is in the journey. The fulfillment of life is in the growing.”
Keep Moving!!!!!!!!!!!

IS IT ABOUT SERVICE OR IS JUST ABOUT GIVING??

Service is what we are always looking for when we go to someone to seek for help in any area. And that is….. “service”…… what about giving from your heart and soul when someone is in need of your services??? That’s what people is looking for…. When it comes to training, do people come only for a workout??? Yes at the beginning and no and the end, but they always come for RESULTS.

They need someone to understand their fears, their limits, their desires, and their real goals. And all this come in packages that just a person that knows what is really giving from your heart can understand, and help them go through this process. And by doing it there are many tools that the giver needs to have: professional knowledge ,open education and real life experience to understand what they are really going through; patience, and many more tools to help them achieve what people came for.
It’s all about understanding people needs, people’s life’s, people’s desires and give with no condition or judging. And voila!!!!! You’ll have a satisfied client.
So give with passion, not just do “service”.
Keep Moving!!!!!
