Get After It!!!

Step 1: FIND INSPIRATION.
Seriously.... get out there... talk to people... read... search... and find it!!! It's great to read about professional athletes, sponsored adventurous types, Olympians.... but that's not what I'm talking about. True, they are inspiring, they accomplish unbelievable goals, and they really don't seem human (I'm convinced some aren't!), but it can be hard to relate to their supernatural abilities. I'm talking about the everyday, average Joe/Joette that have accomplished personal greatness, have conquered fears, have subjected themselves to the possibility of defeat and have come out triumphant. I'm talking about the go-getter, the dig deep, fierce warrior kind. The kind that rise to the challenge, never settle, live for the journey, and become humble champions. These people inspire me! I can't get enough of what they've got! I want to talk to them, read their blogs, follow their journey. They teach me to set big goals and go big to earn the reward.

Step 2: GET YOUR CHEER SECTION RALLIED.
This  is going to sound so cliche...but here it goes because it's true! Surround yourself with positive people that support you and your goals. Why would you ever entertain negativity in your life? You've got no time for that!!!!! We all need a cheer section. It just feels good to have that support and pat on the back. It might be a personal challenge for you, but I truly believe we all need that "good job"  recognition from others to help keep us going.  You're going to stumble, you're going to get knocked down. Get your cheer section rallied to help pull you up, and never, never give up!

Step 3: JUMP FORWARD.
Yeah, I don't mean take baby steps, ease into it, check it out for awhile, think about it as you stroll along. It ain't gonna happen, you're gonna miss the boat, or you're gonna loose part of the journey. Set your goal and GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! JUMP head first and dig, claw, scramble your way to the finish line! All that diggin' and clawin' is part of the journey, gives you more reward and fulfillment. That "One day" stuff is crap... GET AFTER IT!!!!!! 

Loose that 1st pound, run that 1st mile, climb that 1st mountain, it will take you somewhere. In my case... to 100.
