As you’ll get to know me, you know I have goals all the time and 2011 is the biggest goal year yet for me. One of my goals this year is to advance in ranks with Beachbody Coaching. I had a goal of reaching Diamond status by yesterday and it didn’t happen. But I did advance to Ruby, which is a huge accomplishment and now I’m so much closer to Diamond. So, because I didn’t reach this goal, did I fail? NO WAY!
This week has been amazing! I recruited 2 new coaches on my team who I know are going to be amazing. I also got asked to be a health & fitness contributor for a website being launched shortly (I will let you know when it’s up and running) to write weekly articles! Never in a million years did I think my passion for health and fitness and helping others would lead me to be a journalist. How did this happen? It happened because I never gave up, I never lost sight of my ultimate goal, and I believed in myself. (BTW…I am just getting started.)
One of the books I recently read is Go for No. It’s a short book that has a valuable lesson in the story. The lesson is you have to get through the nos to get to the yeses! You can’t just stop because someone or something stands in your way…you have to keep going.
A couple of weeks ago on the Biggest Loser, one of the contestants wrote on his arm his goal weight for that week. He put it there to remind him of why he was working out so hard, eating healthy, etc. So, when he got on that scale he wanted to see that number, but he didn’t…he missed it by one pound! He didn’t get upset or say he was disappointed, instead he was truly happy! He was happy because he accomplished his goal even though it was short the one pound. He showed himself he can do anything as long as he puts his mind to it and he knows he’ll lose that pound next week.
I know it’s hard to look back and embrace all you’ve accomplished when you haven’t met a goal. But you have to! Because all those little goals get you to your big goal…without them you can’t get there. So, what if you didn’t lose any weight this week…you now know what to do for the next week. So, what you ate a piece of cake…go to the gym and workout for an extra 30 minutes and eat super clean the rest of the week. The key is to get back out there and not stop because you got a NO!
So Diamond get ready because here I come!
