The last week of the year is usually a time of reflection for me. It is that time of limbo that just seems to hang between Christmas and New Year's, just like the lights, ornaments, garland and tinsel. They have served their purpose and are somehow, not bright and shiny anymore. No one has come along to put them away, so there they are. And here we are.
We are anxiously waiting for the new year to begin. Anticipating what's next. Looking back at 2010 - sad that it's over or happy to welcome a new year, hoping to leave behind the obstacles, problems or heartaches of the past 12 months. It is time to look forward.
As the calendar changes and we step into 2011, what new challenges will it bring? For me, it means that I will welcome a new training team of couch potatoes and spend the next 40 weeks or so, taking them from walking 1 mile, to finishing a marathon. I truly have one of the best jobs in the world. It is such an amazing thing to watch someone transform before your very eyes.
In a couple of weeks, I will come face to face with a room full of people wanting a change. A big change. They will be looking to me, Mark and the other Marathon Makeover team of leaders to help get them there. It is a huge responsibility that I do not take lightly. I strongly believe that we can help someone make a major life change in a matter of a few months.
What changes are you ready to make in 2011? What are you doing now that's not working for you? Now is the time to change that. I was asked this question this week, "What do you want to do that you haven't yet accomplished?". Wow. That made me think. My answer? I want to make a difference in peoples' lives by getting them up off the couch and get them moving. I want to show people that there is more to life and we do not have to settle. We are in control of our lives. We make our choices. What do YOU want to do? If you are not already doing it, WHY?
There are steps you can take today to get where you want to be! I'd love to hear what your answers are. If you dare, please share!
In the meantime, Happy New Year!
