If you missed the conference call last night, I want to share with you some profound comments from Barry Joye that really hit home with me.

Barry explained his accomplishment over the past few months of running to get in shape. Not only is he reaping the benefits of losing weight but he has also gotten back to his high school weight and has tons of energy. Barry admits the VitaLife Fitness Center and his virtual fitness center buddy Joe Blewett kept him going. He also said that his friends and peers are constantly telling him how GREAT he looks. He was able to keep up with the Boy Scouts on daily hikes too.

This accomplishment is spectacular! The most influential statement Barry made last night was that any success can impact all areas of your life.

My interpretation of this is some things are out of our control. For example, I have realized the current state of the economy, the weather, and growing old are areas of life I personally cannot control. However, I CAN make changes to my attitude, my weight and my exercise.

If I dedicate myself to a fitness regimen like Barry did, the success in the area of looking better and being healthier will make me feel better because I know I am accomplishing something. Not only will this positively impact my personal wellness, I believe other aspects of life will get better.

When you have internal success, you exude self confidence that spills over into everything you do.

Think about it - I certainly have but more importantly act on it. I plan to! Thanks Barry!

Everyone is always welcome on the Monday Night Conference calls. Dial In next week you will be glad you did.
