Go for It!

    Life is short.  Life is sweet.   Life is what you make it and how you live your life is up to you.  Personally, regret is the one thing I don't want to have when I'm 84 and I'm looking back at my life.  As a result, I decided to go for it this past week and went to a casting call for fitness models at the National Academy of Sports Medicine in Calabasas, California!
    Yes, I'm six feet tall.  Yes, I keep my body lean through proper exercise and a good diet.  And yes, I'm 40 years old but somewhere in the back of my mind, I had this crazy "fitness model" aspiration.  When I heard Dax Moy speak about 100 goals in 100 days, I must have subconsciously put this dream in my head.  When the email announcement hit my inbox, I went for it!  
    What is in your closet?  What crazy aspiration do you have?  Pick one, and GO FOR IT!  (Be safe and within reason, of course!).  Your life is ultimately the result of your decisions.  The quality of your life is directly related the quality of those choices.   If you choose to invest in your health and begin a consistent stretching and strengthening routine led by a qualified fitness professional, your body will make improvements and you will improve the quality of your daily life.  
    "The Secret" to life is summed up as the law of attraction.  If you think positive, you attract positive.  Likewise, if you dwell on the negative, (guess what), you will attract negative people and processes.  And no one wants negative events in life so when you think about preventing a fall, focus your energy on enhancing your balance skills, improving your flexibility, increasing your strength, and building your endurance.  Fall prevention is thinking positively about a negative.  (Wow, we've got the constellations buzzing on that, huh?!)
    Each day, you are getting stronger and more flexible in order to remain balanced.  Total body balance is healthy.  Your body thrives in proper alignment and a thriving, balanced body can react to life's imbalances.    Think positive prevention.  Think about the benefits of the exercises and movements you are doing.  Think about how you want to live your life and go for it!!!
    Start moving that body today.  Move that body everyday.  Start slow and progress gradually.   Your body is adapting to these new demands.  Think strong, think balance, think "I'm giving this my best effort" and GO FOR IT.
    Nothing to lose but fear.  Nothing to gain but a better quality of life through physical movement.   Take 5 to Exercise each day.
    Did I have the look they wanted?  I don't think so but hey, I tried.  I gave it my best so I'm asking you to give prevention your best.  Your best is all you can do and guess what?  You do it well.
Glory to God.
