The Decision

My life as a trainer to date has been filled with A lot of ups and downs. This is not based on who my clients are, my number of clients or the results my clients have achieved. This based solely on my opinion of my training in general. I have always wanted to be the best trainer that I could be and thought that I had done everything in my power to achieve that success. The type of success I'm talking about can't be measured by money or social standing but it is measured by my peace of mind knowing that I could not do better. What is holding me back is one thing that I have let slip out of my minds eye. Something I want to hark as an importance not only in fitness or wealth but life. You will get nowhere unless you have a goal. A concrete goal, something that you can look at everyday and say, YES that is where I want to be! With out a goal you are living a life without purpose. A goal gives you a reason to wake up in the morning. It doesn't matter what that goal is, it's yours and nobody can take it away from you. A goal costs nothing. A goal takes no skill to make. A goal can not be destroyed but only created. A goal is the first step in a decision. That brings me to what I am writing about today. I have decided I will stop living day to day life and start controlling the outcome of my life. My goal is my goal and I will not share it with you, as I would not have you share yours with me. If I shared I would only fuel the haters, the naysayers and all the lot. Everyone is the same those who say that you will fail are the losers. They are the ones that have failed not because they did not get where they wanted to be but because they quit trying. This I believe is what has held me back and continues to hold me back. I quit trying, I think I am trying but in reality I have quit. I have become what society wants me to be. An hourly worker who has a job like everyone else. What was once my life has become a job. Job is such a dirty word in life. You don't go to a job to achieve greatness. You go to a job to earn that dollar. When you can make your job part of your life again then can you become what you want to be. It doesn't matter what it is. Flipping burgers, changing tires, punching numbers or whatever when that job becomes a task. When the only reason you do that job is because your "supposed" to that is when you have failed yourself. If your flipping burgers and enjoy it your goal should be to own the burger joint. If you change tires and enjoy it maybe you should become an engineer that designs safer, more efficient tires. If you punch numbers you already know the equation staying in the same place your are will continually produce the same number. I personally love my job, have a passion for my job, work hard at my job but none the less I have let it become a job. I count the hours worked, the people I have provided a service for and said eh... not too shabby. Today is the day my friends that is ending. No more not too shabby. I will work my butt off and this job will get me to my goal! It doesn't matter what your job is you can do the same. If you can not I say you are a failure. Get out now! If you hate what you do everyday I want to tell you something it took a lot of trying to realize. Deep down you are exactly where you WANT to be! If you did not want to be there you wouldn't be. You made the choice you made the decision now make another choice. Do Work everyday. Put everything in to it truly everything you have and find out where this job can take you. Jobs don't get you anywhere in life WORK does! Give it your all or get nothing in return.......
