Use your words
Several years ago, one of our coaches set a really extraordinary goal for herself. She wanted to become a bodybuilder. That’s a goal that takes a lot of dedication – time, effort, money, and serious commitment. In her case, it also involved child care (yes, she had very young children, and moms know what that means about how your body feels).
But she did it. You can read her story here.
Her first step was to make a public declaration. She said, “I AM AN ATHLETE.”
It made all the difference in the world to her. It was not just a fitness goal, it was the definition of Shelagh as a person. Just four words changed her life.
It made all of us at Marilu.com look at her differently, too. As one of her support networks, her words gave us an image of her. We supported her image and her goal based on those four words.
Use your words wisely. You are who you think you are.
