To be or not to be.

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 NIV)

I met with someone that inspired me highly yesterday. Not because of how fit and dedicated this person was, but more for the outlook of life she had.

I was fond of what passion this female dancer had, and seeing what desire meant firsthand. I'm talking about a Florida native, moving to a huge demanding city where every turn you make, better be the right one. Were talking about a 22 year old girl alone in the big city of Manhattan, making a career for herself, and a very promising one at that!

You can't be a professional dancer for big time celebrities unless you have the talent, and the looks that match the high demand of attractiveness in our society today. Passion at it's finest was exposed to me and I didn't know how to interpret it.

I loved everything about what she did in order to achieve her greatest success. Feeding her body the best of the best, only to compliment the hard work she puts in to practice and train to be the best dancer she can be. Training two times a day at some points, and relying solely on vegetables and fruits to be her midnight snack.

Feeding a high powered machine all of it's required nutrients, has led her to achieve things that most people in her career dream of.

What I'm trying to come to is that it's my duty to train her to get her to reach a peak level of performance. Her dedication and desire will push me to do everything in my power to let her be the best she can! My regimens for her will be very well thought out and detailed to meet her highest expectations.

I will be nothing less than an elite trainer to an elite enthusiasts!

People find that passion that you have in your life and relate it back to your health. Do you need to be more in shape to meet your desire? Is your health holding you back? Make a change and adjust to get back on track with your destiny. Be ELITE, or you won't be fit enough to compete! It's not too late!

Motivation is something within.......

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (Ecclesiastes 9:10 NIV)

Why can't some of us find it? Why as human beings, do we believe that self discipline is something your taught?

Actually, it's more like something you use. Waking up every morning can be tough, believe me I know, especially due to the lack of sleep I have been experiencing lately.

What pushes us to get up and tackle the day? Are we forced to get out of bed where it's warm, comfy, and just so accepting of your body's every desire, or do we enjoy the presence of the waking sun and give thanks for the beautiful day that is in store for us all?

We must be grateful! Grateful for the fact that we HAVE the ability to get up out of bed, the ability to WALK to the bathroom, the ability to HAVE a wardrobe to choose from, the ability to MAKE breakfast, the ability to WORK, the ability to HAVE a VOICE!

I have come to the point in my life where I just want to be so brutally blunt to those who take the little things in life for granted, and explain to them why their choices in life are resulting from their insecure perceptions of reality. If you're overweight, than WALK. If you're broke, than WORK. If your hungry, than COOK. If you have heart issues, than take the INITIATIVE.

If NOT then give it to someone who will utilize these gifts, and not take the lack of motivation fore-granted.

All i'm saying is that we ALL have problems and issues that seem to be a factor in our decision making. Just do it! Nothing else should be said. We are who we are, by what we do! Learn to take the initiative and start living up to the expectations you have for yourself, and stop giving up when times get a bit hard. We are fortunate to even have the capacity to understand this concept! BE GRATEFUL FOR IT.
