Hey there and welcome to this week’s Valentine Monday Motivator!  It’s time to get your mind right and zero in on those fitness goals.  How will you help yourself take one step closer to achievement this week?

Since it’s my b-day today I decided to share my favorite quote of all time with you!  It’s by Mr. Henry David Thoreau and I think it so powerful because it is so TRUE!!  Thoreau said this:

“If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

This quote can be applied to any of your life’s dreams but I want to focus on your fitness dreams!  Stop right now and ask yourself, “Am I really advancing confidently in the direction of my fitness goals?”

If you’re not, why?  Are you afraid of failure?  Afraid of success?  It’s time to break through your barriers so you can be the person you want to be.  Don’t allow past experiences to detract you from achieving your goal in the present and continuously into the future.

Instill confidence in yourself with positive affirmations and back it up with eating properly and good exercise on a daily basis.  Continue to “endeavor to live the life you have imagined,” and it is just a matter of time until you achieve success!!

I understand you might be saying that it “just isn’t that easy,” but it really is!  The only thing holding you back is you.  A lot of times our brain and our thoughts can get in the way because they tell us to give up, or that it’s too difficult, or that we will never make it.  Don’t let that happen to you!!!  Not when you have the ability to make it happen!

You alone control your thoughts and whether they are positive or negative.  Positive thoughts help fuel positive actions and positive results.  Ultimately this formula will create a situation where “you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of my faithful readers and I wish you nothing but continued success with your fitness and life goals.

And I’d love to hear your comments below!

Dedicated to your success,
