A Positive Attitude is the Key to Success



What a wonderful weekend I just had at the ACAC Fitness Summit in Virginia. I was fortunate enough to present my Cardio Dance Party Class to fellow instructors and we had a blast.

As the resident Life Coach, while driving in a van with 10 other woman for 6 hours to the Fitness Summit, I was asked how to help people navigate challenges and keep a positive attitude. I thought the following poem contained some fabulous mantras that are definitely words to live by.

I suggest you pick a line or two that speaks to you and use that as a mantra for yourself this week. Let it help you shift your energy from negative to positive and give you strength to navigate any challenges you may come across over the next few days.

A Positive Attitude is the Key to Success

Before you say "I can't," make sure you've already tried.
Before you let doubts stop you, confront them with facts.
Before reasons convince you its impossible , pursue the one reason that makes it possible.
Before failure enters your mind, hide success in your heart.
Before fear holds you back, go forward with faith.
Before problems interfere with your plans, use them to accomplish your goals.
Before you hold back because you think others are better, show them what a winner you are.
Before you settle for less, hold on to what is most important.
Before you believe there is no way, keep going and you'll make one.
Before you give up, be at peace inside.
Before you dismiss your dreams, wait until they have come true.
Before you go looking for happiness, make your own where you are!
