Sustaining Progress

goals“Circumstances may cause interruptions or delays, but never lose sight of the goal..”  — Mario Andretti

Reaching your goals is important and it should be a priority.  Even though circumstances and interruptions will arise, always be sure that you’re moving toward your goal and not away from it.  Progress is the key to success!  No matter how long it may take for you to reach a specific goal, never lose sight of it until it’s behind you.

2013 Resolutions

nye

 

“I think in terms of the day’s resolutions, not the year’s”  — Henry Moore

This year make daily and weekly attainable goals rather than going for the gold right off the bat.  How many hours do you want to dedicate to working out each week?  What exercises do you hope to increase your weight or repetitions on??  Stay focused on these smaller goals and your major goal of losing 50 pounds or 10% body fat will come with time!

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NAPOLETAN FITNESS!

Developing Your Own Compass

Develop your own compass, and trust it.  Take risks, dare to fail, remember the first person through the wall always gets hurt.”  – Aaron Sorkin

Visualize your goals and execute them.  Forfeit excuses, you are your own navigator.

Your Best Effort is Kryptonite to Defeat

“Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you temperance and self-control, diligence and strength of will, cheerfulness and content, and a hundred virtues which the idle will never know.”  – Charles Kingsley

There is no doubt that knowing and believing that you’re doing the very best that you can will bring you peace of mind and security.  Give your all to each one of your ventures and what is meant to be will be.

Just Do It

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.”  – Seneca

Without an honest try how do you expect to get any better?  Set a goal and take it seriously.  Create a solid plan to help you reach that goal and give it your all.  You can do anything you set your mind to, but only if you give it your best effort and stick with it.  Don’t spend your time wishing — spend it doing!

Every Day Counts

“The future depends on what we do in the present.” – Mahatma Gandhi 

Work hard now on the things that are important to you will be satisfied with your future.

Positive and Present

“Your thoughts are the architects of your destiny.” – David O. McKay

Discover the power of confidence, positive thinking, and staying in the present moment.  Take notice of the amount of thoughts that pass through your mind today that deal with either the past or the future.  Stop giving those things so much attention and focus on the here and now.  Where you are right now has the ability of being the best place you’ve ever been!  Don’t ignore the present and wait for it to become the past.  Take on a positive attitude and give this very moment your full attention.

Be confident in the decisions you make and the things that you do.  Positive thoughts will create positive outcomes.  Concentrate on the potential of this moment.  Keep this mindset with you throughout the day.  When you’re at work focus on work, but when you get home focus on your family or whatever it is that you enjoy doing with your evenings.  When you’re in the gym focus on making the most out of your time there.  Avoid the distractions of the past and the future and give everything to the present.  Stay positive and the confidence will come.

Experience Life!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.  …Explore. Dream. Discover.”  – Mark Twain

Recognize each day for what it is – a chance to try something new.  Whether it’s a new radio station, a new route to work, or a new exercise, dare to try something different today and every day from here on out.  Don’t take life’s options for granted.  When it’s all said and done you’ll be more satisfied to try something different and fail than to not try it at all.  Experience life.  This might be the only one you get!
