I feel it!

I just feel it! I feel the yearning for something more. More than I've allowed myself to dream of or try to accomplish.

In December I talked about my upcoming goals for 2014. In those goals I made, I posted all the races I wanted to complete. I still plan on accomplishing them but I also have another fab goal I want to share with you.

I have signed up for classes online to get my Personal Trainer Certification and specializing in senior fitness and nutrition. I know this will be hard work and dedication on my behalf but I prayed and asked to be lead.  I truly believe this is my calling. I've always known my calling was to help others, but I just didn't know how to get there, or even if I wanted to put in the work to get there.

The past few weeks I have been really sick, and when you are bed ridden you have tons of time to dwell. I dwell on the fact I haven't found a purpose (work wise), I feel, for being. If you know me I'm always in search of learning who I am and what am I suppose to do. So in this sickness haze I spent a lot of time reading, and plotting what I wanted to do this year (As you know my brother was put in home and now I'm trying to figure out my next steps) since I'm finding myself in the work force again.

I didn't want to make the mistake to go into a field I will only choose to quit after I get bored. I also wanted to help my wife in the business she is building for our family. I wanted to have the best of both worlds you could say and came up with this conclusion. I will help build our family business into a multifaceted one. It will provide personalized care for seniors that will include not only home care, but healthcare involving exercise to better health and wellness of the client.

So I'm on the road to getting educated so I can fulfill this goal. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I know I'm not at my goal weight yet and have a few months before I can get there. I just don't want that to stop me, I know by the time I'm done with this course and get certified, I will be there. I just have to remain focused and dedicated to making this happen.

I have took pics since I've started this journey. I will continue until I have that paper in my hand saying I can start living my dream. When I get this paper in my hand I will do a slide show of my progress. I hope to blow you and myself away :) I say these words out loud as I'm writing this so I hear it loud and clear. NO EXCUSES! I will post a slide show of my before/after pics when I become a Certified Personal Trainer at my goal weight.

I'm excited to see what the future has in store for me. In the meantime I'm off to make a difference in my life and the life of others. This is why we are here, not to take but to give!

Don't forget YOU R WORTH IT!
Never give up on your dreams!!
