CHALLENGE LIFE! Be the CHEETA, Not The Gazelle!

Posted on 19. Mar, 2010 by Admin in Daily Posts

Each day life throws us a challenge.

Big or Small.  Hard to swallow, or nearly making you gag.

And either way you and I have a CHOICE.  We can either CHOOSE to look that challenge directly in the face a run it down like a hungry Cheeta chasing a gazelle.

Or… you can be the gazelle.

Now.  I Don’t know how you tend to look at challenges and problems in life, but the outlook on ANY OBSTICAL life, NEEDS to be VIEWED as a learning experience!

Think about it.  Was learning to rid a bike hard?

How about the first time you drove a car?

Or the first time you made a public speech.

Maybe your first kiss?  What emotions were you feeling then?

These are just some general examples of what life can smack you in the face with.  However I do understand that some will be much more CHALLENGING and difficult than others.

SO…whats this got to do with you?

I want to help.

So, by the suggestion of a great friend of mine Ted Mcgrath, I’m challenging myself to publish, DAILY, a challenge that I face and overcome.

My goal is to be able to help you relate and gain inspiration from overcoming the challenges.

Welcome to my daily Challenge Session!

Today  March 19th 2010,

At some point we all have to wake up in the morning.  For most of us it’s earlier than we’d like.  And for years through high school I never wanted to get out of bed.

Until….

I started working out and living a healthy lifestyle.  BUT..

This morning was a CHALLENGE!  After an intense coaching session last night, I was AMPED up and ready to rock!   Talked to my great friend JOMO “Jordan Molotsky” on the phone afterwards and aired our Inspirational show a few hours later than normal around 11:30 pm.  USUALLY im way in LA LA land by then!

My alarm buzzes at 4:50 am and my head hit the pillow around 12:15 am.  Hmm yeah… not much sleep and I really REALLY REALLY dislike the sound of my alarm.

It buzzed and I turned it off.
The CHALLENGE was literally JUST GETTING MY BUTT out of bed!   I was Truly tired and exhausted, most likely my body does need more sleep, but its Friday! And Jomo Happened to call my cell at 5:10 as I was still laying in bed, half in half out of consciousness.

The call spurred my mind into action and I FORCED myself out of bed.  Blasted through a bicep and tricep workout at the gym and headed to my surfboard job north of town for a few hours.

Don’t think you are the only one tired and exhausted from the previous day.  When your working your TAIL off and GRINDING on YOUR PASSION Sleep can be set to a minimum an YOU WILL PUSH Through any tired “emotions” you may have.

I mentioned above that I work out in the morning.

Whether you decide to hit up the gym, walk the dogs, go for a run, snowshoe, or waterski, I GUARANTEE you will be WAY more excited and energetic when you wake up in the morning.

Budget yourself 15 to 30 minutes of exercise every morning and it will SURELY increase your mood and overall enjoyment of your day.

Oh. yeah… and usually by exercising every day you’ll ensure yourself as a CHEETA rather than being a Gazelle on the run!

To Your Success.
