Secret of the Magic Pill

After all these years, I have finally found the secret of the ever illusive always sought out magic pill. You know the one. It makes you thin, perfectly sculpts your body, and catapults you into being named one of the World's 50 Most Beautiful People AND get this, it does it all without any effort on your part. So are you ready to hear the secret? Gather your friends and neighbors and listen closely. The secret is... there is no magic pill that offers weight loss, a sculpted body and beauty with no work required on your part.. Wait! Don't tune out! There is hope. It does take work, but the reward is great. Read on for the encouragement.
You CAN reach your goal, and you CAN transform your body. Now that is great news, right? Even more than that, the journey can change your life.

So are you overwhelmed with where you are versus where you want to be? I understand. It can be discouraging when all you see is the distance that is between you and your goal. I challenge you not to look at the distance between your starting point and your ending point as an impossibility, but rather look at it as an opportunity. With every step forward you unlock new possibilities and, get this, you also close the gap between the start and finish. Remember that no one ever crossed the finish line without first crossing the starting line. Understand where you are going but know it is a process, and to succeed you must embrace the process. This means that you are willing to take the steps needed to meet the goal and count every step a victory. No one runs a marathon without completing their first mile and no one runs their first mile without taking the first step. So what is the point? I know, I took away the magic pill and told you that you had to put in some work if you want to transform your body or even your life. I also know that it is not the most popular opinion or even the one I had hoped for years ago, but looking back it has been the best one. So here is the point: Work is required to see lasting results, but every minute of it is worth it when you begin achieving all that you have set out for. Don't be discouraged by the distance you have to travel to find your finish line. Be encouraged by the victory that you will find in taking the first step.

What are you going to start today that gets you closer to your goal? Might I recommend that you seek people who believe in you and your goal and will encourage you and act as accountability along the way? Then, start creating SMART short term goals that enable you to reach the more distant long term goal.

I will be sharing what I have learned about SMART goals in a later blog -

For now work hard and press on!
