By challenging yourself, you challenge others!

"Do something everyday that scares or challenges you!" I love this photo of my friend Tamara as she jumps off a 20 ft cliff into Crater Lake. She inspired me to jump shortly after - a big accomplishment since I'm crazy scared of heights. That's how inspiration works. Someone sees someone else do something cool and they think "Hey, maybe I could do that too!" So do something amazing and you'll most likely inspire someone else too!



This thought process reminds me of this poem...

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God….And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson – Read by Nelson Mandela


So let your life shine brightly and as you do so, it will inspire others to live their best life too!

Yours in health and fitness,
