ah, the turtle ..thanks Tony

There's a reason the age-old story of the hare and the tortoise is still around. It's true. Hares may be quick off the starting block, but they usually crash and burn before reaching the finish line. Tortoises, on the other hand, pace themselves for the long haul and reach their goal.

The difference between them, however, is not speed. It's consistency. Consistency is probably the single most important factor to success in any endeavor. It's showing up for yourself time after time after time. Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase flexibility, improve strength, or learn to play the piano, showing up is half the battle, and it's the only way to get anywhere in the long run.
So focus on consistency first, and worry about ramping it up later—the momentum will build naturally. Before you know it, you'll be cruising along with ease and you'll sail right by that hare like he's standing still, which shouldn’t be too hard to do when he's passed out under a bush.

Ty, Tony and Buddy

One is a baker, one a carpenter, the other a fitness trainer. They all have one thing in common, passion. Passion can be described in different ways. I think the nuts and bolts of passion is an intense desire. It’s the thing that motivates a person and nothing gets in the way. It doesn’t become a way of life, it is the way of life. When you believe in something so much that you have to ‘be’ it every day that is passion. These guys all share what their passion is with others. It is not something that you keep to yourself, its part of you that needs to be known. Some things cannot be contained. To be fortunate enough to have a passion in life is a true blessing.To make money at something you enjoy is a dream to many. The baker, the builder and the fitness trainer all have the pleasure of making money at what drives them every day. I bet that not one of them considers their job a ‘job’. By that I mean, having to be somewhere they don’t want to, to make money to pay the bills. 5:00 Friday is not on their radar. Imagine getting out of bed and doing what you love and making money. Man that has to feel great. Buddy’s cakes are nothing short of art. Some of them are engineering marvels. If you saw the episode of Cake Boss where they make an actual size NASCAR cake you know the man is passionate about his craft. Ty is not just the host of Extreme Home Makeover he is the heart of getting things done for people in need. Anyone else could host this show and it wouldn’t have the stuff that Ty brings. Ty has an understanding and compassion. He approaches his job using all his talents and passion. Tony, well Tony is an entity unto himself. If you watch a P90x disc and not want to get off the sofa and do your best, then you must watch another. You will want to ‘bring it’.The man is passionate about sharing his knowledge and love of living healthy. Fitness is his calling and we should give him a listen. Some have the gift and we should learn all we can from these people. Ty, Tony and Buddy all have found their passion in life. Perhaps they have more,yet to be discovered. Will we all find passion ? I don’t know. Are we all suppose too? Why not. I became a Beachbody Coach because I want to share what I have learned with others. My life has improved significantly and I want others to have the same. The planet would be a nicer place to live on if everyone took time to find their passion. Passion is love, determination, commitment, desire, motivation and that something that gets you out of bed and makes you want to take on the day. When you take the time to change your quality of life, life becomes a beautiful thing.
