How Important Is It To You?

We've all heard people make the comment "I need to lose weight" or "I really want to get back in shape". We'll hear those phrases uttered even more often over the next month as everyone makes their infamous New Years Resolutions. And, don't misunderstand me...those are great! I fully encourage everyone to think about their goals for the new year. However, the point I want to make is that speaking those resolutions outloud and even writing them down really don't mean a whole lot. Only our ACTIONS will show us, and those around us, what our goals really are. Do you "...really want to get back in shape"? Let's see it. Wanting to lose weight is great...but if you don't act on it, then it really isn't as important to you as it may sound when the words come out of your mouth. We make time for things that are important to us, we spend money on things that we really want/need, we make others adjust to our schedule when we are focused on accomplishing something that means a lot to us. Does that describe your attitude toward working out? If not, then maybe you need to take a step back and ask yourself again, "how important is this to me?"

With the new year approaching, I hope we all take some time to think about what we want to accomplish in 2012 and what our goals are going to be. And, during that process, tell yourself that your actions over the next 12 months are going to show just how important those goals are to you. Find that drive inside of you and go hard! You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish!
