Success!

Some people say I'm successful. I believe I am blessed to have opportunity and I cherish each one with drive, determination and energy.

Define Success. 

Many a dictionary holds the word and Encarta delivers it the best:
Success = Achievement of Intention: the achievement of something planned or attempted

So whatever you strive to acheive defines your success! Take a look around you at others and especially at your own life on a day to day basis. Do you put your all into everything you do? You can succeed at every little thing if you just put your mind to it!
Success for me is waking up happy each day, putting my time to good use by helping others and striving toward my own personal goals. It doesn't matter whether it is becoming a better Teacher, Friend, Daughter, Lifestyle Coach, Sports Model, Presenter, Partner, Sister etc it all matters in the HOW.

HOW you decide to DO each of the things that matter to you. This becomes you and how others see you.
So don't let others define what is success for you, define your own Success in everything you choose to do and achieve in life. No doubt you are already a Success! Live a more fulfilled life by intending to win every time and acheiving your every intention.

And if there are a few things you INTEND to do that you haven't yet got to?

Remember ...
'a task started is already one half achieved'

Committed to your Success!

Life Flies Fast, Capture It

Welcome to April 2010 !
What will you do for FUN this month?
                                                                                                           
In a small town on the Rio Dulce (sweet river) in a Central American country called Guatemala, kids play with sticks and empty plastic bottles that wash up on their parents front yard shore. Yet their smiles are as bright as rainbows and their laughs still louder than ever. They have such an inspiring perception on life. Time stands still for them. They live in a world where there are no watches, no telephones, no internet, play station, face book, twitter, IPhones, Foxtel, Football, Rugby and many of them don’t even have access to fresh running water!

Difficult to imagine isn’t it?

So this month, lets find a number of fun things we can do without technology! Yes that’s right. Lets put ourselves in the shoes of others and find enjoyment in the simple things.
And REMEMBER to give me your ideas as I’m creating a LIST !!

Committed to your success !

Marissa

What is fitness ?

Many exercisers have absolutely no idea what fitness means, where they are heading or why they are performing the exercises they do!

The online Medical Dictionary gives the perfect definition of fitness.

FITNESS - The state or condition of being physically sound and healthy, especially as the result of exercise and proper nutrition

So how do we get to this optimum state of wellbeing ? Everything we do affects our level of fitness and our physical state. What we eat, how/when we exercise, our environment and toxins in our body, sleep, stress, mental awareness etc etc etc.

I am here to assist you to move as close to that optimum level of health as possible .. so you can wake up every morning feeling fabulous with a fit body to boot !

We will tackle current issues relating to nutrition and exercise along with a number of other factors affecting ill health today.

If you have any questions please email me direct or post comment on any of our pages and I will get back to you personally as soon as possible.

Committed to your success !
