BE IT...

THE PAST FEW ENTRIES I HAVE DISCUSSED FINDING YOUR GROOVE. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS TO EACH OF US AND I EVEN SHARED WHAT IT MEANT TO ME...

WE HAVE DISCUSSED WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY FIND YOUR GROOVE AND HOW HARD IT IS TO EXPLAIN IN WORDS BUT THE FEELING IS UNDENIABLE!

WHAT I WANT TO SHARE TODAY IS A TERM I USE ALL THE TIME,  "BE IT"...

SIMPLE RIGHT, JUST 2 WORDS THAT TOTALS FOUR LETTERS.

YET THE MEANING BEHIND IT IS SO MUCH BIGGER AND DEEPER THEN MOST KNOW. AND FOR MOST OF US TO "BE IT" DOES NOT COME EASY...

I HEAR ALL THE TIME "IF I HAD THIS THEN I COULD DO IT", "IF I WOULD HAVE STUDIED HARDER I WOULD HAVE PASSED IT", "IF THEY WERE NOT IN MY WAY THEN I COULD ACCOMPLISH IT" ETC.....

IF YOU USE THOSE PHRASES, YOU WILL NOT "BE IT"! YOU WILL BE MAKING EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE OF WHY YOU ARE NOT IT...

BUT TO "BE IT" DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE PUT EVERYTHING ASIDE AND CONCENTRATE 100% ON WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH. TO REACH THAT "BE IT" STATUS TAKES TIME, DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT. 

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN TOMORROW OR THE NEXT DAY, BUT IF YOU START STRINGING LOTS OF TOMORROWS AND NEXT DAYS TOGETHER THEN EVENTUALLY YOU WILL FINALLY "BE IT"..

BUT THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT IT IS NOT AS IMPORTANT TO "BE IT" AS IT IS TO NEVER STOP TRYING TO "BE IT". THAT IS WHERE YOU WILL FIND YOUR SUCCESS, IN THE PROCESS. IT IS ABOUT THE JOURNEY!

SO NEXT TIME YOU HAVE TO MAKE THAT DECISION OF TO EAT THAT OR NOT, TO TRAIN OR NOT, TO STUDY OR NOT, TO SPEND TIME WITH THE FAMILY OR NOT...ASK YOURSELF THIS SIMPLE QUESTION "WILL THIS HELP ME BE IT?"...IT IS THAT EASY

SO FOR TODAY'S WORKOUT I DECIDED TO GET OUTSIDE. A LITTLE VITAMIN D, SOME KETTLEBELLS AND MUSIC IS ALL I NEEDED TO HAVE A GREAT WORKOUT AND GET ME CLOSER ON MY "BE IT" JOURNEY...

OH SURE I COULD HAVE JUST SAT THERE AND ENJOYED THE WEATHER OR I COULD HAVE PUT MY FEET UP AND WATCHED A MOVIE AT THAT MOMENT, BUT THEN I ASKED MYSELF THAT SIMPLE QUESTION FROM ABOVE...
