Moving forward with big goals
After taking part in the Transformation Event in Denver last year I decided I wanted to do something to help improve the health of kids in this country. In Denver my youngest son ran a 1 mile race and my oldest son ran the 1/2 Marathon with me and my wife. The impact on both of them was t...

I Am
I am a 40 year old of father of 4 great kids, husband of an inspirational wife and was lucky to have one of the best Moms in the world. I mention my mother because as my wife and I have gone through the past 10 years together I have discovered that I have not only heard most (if not all) of the spiritual and inspirational teachings, advice, etc., before, but I have seen them in action in the person of my mother. What I am and will be in my life I owe to my mother for starting me in the right direction, to my wife for finding the path with me, and to my kids for bringing the joy along on the trip.

To me, Transformation Means
I think all people are looking for their own path to health and happiness in the world. The problem is we are often distracted or misdirected by things the rest of the world tells us we should want to have or to be, or ways we should behave or not behave, things we should believe or not believe. Unfortunately we take these things in from the moment we are able to interact with other people around us as infants, and they become so internalized that we can tend to believe they come from inside us instead of from the world around us. Transformation is the process of reversing that trend, of overcoming the internal obstacles in ourselves that block us from our true happiness in life, and enabling ourselves to acheive our external goals.
My Goals
I want to get back into better shape, and ensure my physical health by getting to a healthy weight, maintaining good cholesterol and blood pressure levels, etc. I want to fit into my size 34s (or 32s). I want to finish the Denver Half Marathon in under 2 hours and 40 minutes. My other goals include writing a book (or several), helping out my community by starting a community center or youth program, and helping my wife and kids finish their educations and helping them to progress on their own transformations.
My Intentions
To transform my life! I am taking the transformation challenge as an opportunity to do those things in my life that I had always wanted to do, but simply never did. Before the end of the year I will have completed a 1/2 Marathon, begun investing in the stock market, and finished the first draft of a book.
Who I'd Like to Inspire
I want to inspire my children. My hope is that becoming healthier physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially myself will give them a target to meet and exceed.
I want to inspire my wife, because she inspires me.
I want to inspire anyone out there who is looking, but hasn't been able to find their happiness in the world yet.
