The word that defines the Packer's and needs to be our focus!
The team had every excuse in the world to pack it in last night....all season they were injured they lost Woodson early had issues with Driver the Steeler's gained their world champion poise in the second half.....it did not look good even though they clung to a small lead!
They showed their character made no excuses and battled adversity all year so when the going got tough they did not give in they fought through it and they got the belt Aaron Rodgers cherished!
What a great story and it can be a great motivator for each and every one of us. Every day the excuse is going to be there do you use the excuse or do you fight on toward whatever goals and task you need to achieve that day?
Those choices when faced with adversity are what will make or break your journey.
If you are going to do cardio for 30 minutes but at the 18 minute mark you are feeling tired.....press on...once you quit the first time it will become easy as you carry on.
If you have pledged no sweets or only one cookie instead of six stick to your guns once you take an inch the rest of the inches will start creeping around that waistline of yours!
Hang in there gang and don't give in!

Super Bowl Sunday
The big day is here and it has been much anticipated for Steeler's and Packer's fans...as a Clevelander I am sure you know where I stand on this one!
A day like today makes you think about the long hard journey the player's and coaching staffs have been on most of their careers in some fashion and here it is their big day.
I would argue that most of us will never play in the Super Bowl or the World Series but we all can have our own prsonal Super Bowl...mine is not a game or an event but a group of things.
My Super Bowl is seeing my kids graduate from college get married have grand kids grow old with my wife.
These are all things that make my journey worth while and they help me strive to make it there.
What is your personal Super Bowl....is it an event a goal?
If you don't have your own Super Bowl think about establishing one!
GO PACKER's! GO PACK GO!

Fond Memories
Take today and reflect on a good time in your life!
When was it who were you with what were you doing?
All those type questions should help you identify some good times you have had....think about the people that were in your life atthose times and try and connect in some way shape or form with one of them today....maybe they have passed on but they have a family member...maybe it was a park or school you can drive to and think about those great feelings and times....use those emotions to guide you in your quest for health and happiness!
If you have felt the great emotions at any time you can harness them and bring them back....never hurts to take some fond memories and create a new focus going forward!

ICE
I hate the ice.....snow isn't bad but ice is horrible! I was walkng the dogs in the dark this morning in a balmy 3 degree wind and as we made it around the neighborhood I was stunned at how many people cleard their drive way but not the sidewalk in front of their house.
As I walked around the neighborhood I started to think about the statement this made on our society and what we are teaching our kids and others around us.
No other statement can be made in my estimation that says any louder I will take care of what I have to to get me by but who cares about anyone else. I am a mere dog walker......I choose to walk my dogs so if I end up out in the road so be it but the poor kids that have to walk to the bus in the cold have no option.
Think about your life and seize any opportunity to show others that it is not only about you ....... do waht you can to impact others in a positive light whenever possible......in the long term and short term you will gain rewards you never dreamed of!

Happy Thursday!
I hope all of you are having a great week!
What did you do different this week.......focus as you head into Friday and down the home stretch....I have been with numerous people this week that have challenged themselves as they head into 2011!
Most of them are still very focused a few are already struggling...if you can keep your focus to the end of the month you will find this becoming a lifestyle change not just an event!

Rise and Shine
Nothing like a bed at a nice resort!
For a few hours......now it is up and ataom and time to get a good healthy walk in and some weight training before a long day of sitting!
Life is all about adjustments and you need to know what your days will entail.....once you truly begin to understand what you will be doing each and every day and what it takes to be fit in each environment you will have this thing allfigured out!
Focus on what you can control and enjoy life to the fullest!
If you are in the middle of the nasty Groundhog Day storm of 2011 be careful out there today!

What a day!
One of those days where you could just give in and throw the towel over the wall or stay focused and keep a positive attitude.
It was a brutal day for travel by plane but good things happen to those who stay positive...eventually.
You need to make your opportunities when faced with trying situations...I was traveling to Orlando today and the biggest storm of the year roared into Cleveland.
Just when I thought all hope was lost I hung in there and everything went great....I got to see friends from other areas and get caught up on work.
Every day you will get a curve ball thrown at you...if you habg in there it will all turn around just stay focused and stay positive in the face of adversity.
