Motivational Monday

How many times in the journey of weight loss do we forget the power within us? How many times do we give in to the temptations around us? How many times do we fail to realize that this doesn't just have to be something that we want but it is something that we can each have?

Going through the motions of every day and not realizing the greatness within each of us puts a cap so to speak on the level of achievement that we can each obtain. I've thought about this a lot this weekend. Positive mindset, knowing that weight loss is obtainable, surrounding yourself with positive things and ridding yourself of the negative make that difference between being the best and being great.

Trying to come up with a motivational post every Monday can sometimes prove to be a little difficult because sometimes you just want to give in. Sometimes you want to just be mediocre because its too hard to be great. Some days it's enough for you to just climb out of bed and make it to work. On those days, the motivation is what is going to make the difference. On those days we must change the way we think, the way we act, the way we are in that moment and remember that none of us were born to fail. We were each born to succeed and help others succeed.

On this Motivational Monday it is my hope that we will each take a few minutes after watching this video clip and write down 10 great things about ourselves, to remind us that we are GREAT, not just mediocre beings having a human experience.
