Reflecting on the Past Year

At that point in my life I had grown tremendously as a person. I had made health and fitness a priority, and was starting to come out of my shell that I lived in for so long...too long. Although at that time I was a different person than I was the year prior, I am also a completely different person now than I was this time last year. Going on that trip, change my life.
When I got there, my fears were legit...I didn't really fit in. You know what? That didn't matter! When I arrived at the boat in Florida, I had no real vision of who I was, or what I was meant for in this life. I knew that I was being pulled toward my passion, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was exactly that I was suppose to be doing. I boarded the ship, and was instantly greeted by our CEO Carl Daikeler. From then on I could not stop smiling.
There were a couple of things that I learned from going on that trip. First, stepping out of your comfort zone leads to AMAZING things. Second, it doesn't matter if you 'fit in', it's not about fitting in, it's about being a REAL...GENUINE...PERSON. Third, I started to realize more concretely what my purpose was not only within Beachbody, but on this earth. I was meant to help others see that change IS possible, and that they can be happy in this life, if they make the changes necessary and work on it.
When I arrived home a year ago I wrote a blog post that goes further into detail what I discovered while being on that trip. If you would like to understand further, click here.
As for today, it is all about reflecting back on the past year. Before beachbody, taking ownership of my life, and realizing that it takes work to be who and what you want to be, I was stuck. I talked a lot of nonsense, but never did anything about it. I didn't like who I was as a person, where my life was headed, and gave up on my future. 3 years ago if I had reflected back on the previous year, there was no way that I would be able to look back and say I had grown. Now I can say that I have grown so much over one years time that I feel like a new person. What's my point? My point is that if you aren't happy where you are, CHANGE IT!
Every day I am reminded of why life is too damn short not to love every second of it. Today is the anniversary of my cousin Josephs death. He was 5 years old when he died of neuroblastoma. I remember realizing when he passed that he was an angel put here on earth to remind us to LIVE. Every single thing about him was special.
Are you happy where you are? with yourself? who you are? with what you are doing? with your health? weight? job? Do you appreciate the people in your life? wake up every morning grateful for what you have?
Think that is all bull? It's not! I use to think it was bull...it's not. When you have integrity, work hard toward goals, practice gratitude, and being present, it doesn't matter what is happening around you...you are still happy.
Today I want you to reflect on the past year. Have you grown as a person? Did you do what you said you were going to do? Or is it one year later, and you are in the same spot...stuck?
