Transformation Lesson #1

Transformation Lesson #1:

As I look at my starting photo (July 7th), I actually feel pretty good as I am looking back at the progress I've made over past year.  I've gone from 182lbs to 165lbs and about 5" in pant size. I'm feeling so much better than I was a year ago. This was very gradual progress which I prefer.

As I look inside, I see someone that is more or less at peace with himself and so greatful for the amazing gifts I have in my life. A georgous wife that lives life with passion and 2 wonderful boys that fill my life with so much joy. I have all the material things I need in life to enjoy the passions I love to do.. As I look deeper within I do however see someone that is not living up to his potential. As I reflect on the 4 agreements & #4 being "always to your best", I realize that I can do so much more. I can make more of a difference in all areas of my life. I could build deeper connections with others and contribute more to making my community and world a better place. 

I am living life too much internalized and in a "safe" place. I need to break-free of self-imposed limits and beliefs. I see someone that deep down is a warrior.. yet a peaceful one, that is dieing to leash forward & realize it's full potential.

What do I see down in the future as I look ahead?

I see a sculpted body showing muscle definition and obvious strength yet not bulk. It's lean, fast, flexible and strong. I think more jaguar or cheetah than a lion. Legs that are like pistons as I hike up mountains with grace and agility.. standing strong & full of wonderment at God's creations as I gaze over the scenic splendors.  My body is finely-tuned machine which gives me more energy & confidence in all areas of life. I am spending more time being a loving husband, father and friend.  You need to love & appreciate yourself before you can give the same to others. I feel this and am spending more time connecting and giving of myself. I respect others opinions yet don't run my life based on approval from others freeing myself from those chains.

I truly am doing my best in all areas of life. With the increased confidence, I am helping mentor and making a positive difference to those I work with and my clients. I am proactive vs reactive. I am leading by example. I do this all with compassion and selflessness. I appreciate life's present moments vs letting the inner critic/mind run loose. I have control of my thought processes and look for the positive or opportunity vs feeding the problem. 

Today: I truly realize that I have built a solid foundation that can, if I let it happen.. will create incredible experiences in the future.  A peaceful warrior is about to be released.
