Imagine you are fighting for your life…you just got hit in the face hard by one of life’s many punches. So far, you’re not winning this fight and it’s not looking at all like you are capable of defending yourself. Suddenly, your face hits the cold and firm canvas floor. Your eyes: closed, your body: in pain, and your soul: defeated. You are knocked out.
How are you supposed to get up and fight back at life?
What is your motivation at this moment?
Where is your inner will?
What is the fear that holds you back from getting up from that canvas floor and back into this “fight?”
Remember it’s you against YOU in this life. YOU are your biggest opponent. Work with yourself and you can achieve legendary greatness – work against yourself and you will never get back on your feet.
So, I ask you – What’s your comeback?

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me that I don’t like it” my client said to me as we were in a training session. She was referring to a trendy cycling studio she tried out for a class. My immediate response was: “Why does there have to be something wrong with you just because a lot of people love it, but you don’t?
This touches on a bigger issue. If something is really popular and loved by many but you don’t love it, is that a problem?
NO is the answer! People like different things. It’s ok if you don’t like something that a lot of people like. Heck, it’s ok if you don’t like something that everyone else likes.

It’s tough to not be your worst own critic and it’s a problem. It’s hard enough to surround yourself with good people who will be supportive in your life. It’s so important though because a lot of times the voice holding you back is your own.
It’s easy to be critical of yourself even when people who care and support you are telling you that it’s not as bad as you think.
We brush it off as they’re just being nice and trying not to let us down. The truth is, its usually not as bad as we make it out to be.
Give yourself a break. Stop beating yourself up.

Accountability partners make us better. Having someone to answer to when you don’t accomplish a task can be a big motivator.
When trying to change or improve habits whether it be to have healthier habits, save more money, get a business project done, etc it’s always better to do it with someone or have someone to hold you accountable.
Surround yourself with positive people who will make sure you’re getting things done.
Added bonus: It’s always good to have great friend/partners along for this wonderful ride called life. Have a great people to share good and bad times with. They’ll help make it so the good outweigh the bad.
