Inspiration

I have had several people ask me recently, "What is your inspiration?"  And to be honest in the answer, this could be a very long post.  I find inspiration in new ways everyday.  Sometimes, it even surprises me where it comes from.  It is hard to pin-point any one thing and my motivation sometimes differs from my actual inspiration.

I have talked about Synergy and adding this Blog and my Facebook Page is another step in balancing my life.  I get inspired by motivating others!  That is my biggest inspiration.  There is nothing in this world like helping someone else achieve their goals.  And what is great is sometimes it can just be tiny small things that I may not be aware of at the time that can be pivotal moments in a person's life.  Other times, it is a concentrated effort to be that cheerleader and guide in a life.  No matter how small or how big the effort is, the reward is the same.  Positivity.  To impact a life in a positive way and encourage and inspire someone to take control of their health is awe-inspiring.

Health has always been a part of my life.  My parents, especially my mother, was always cooking food in the kitchen and making sure every meal she served was balanced.  I can remember hating some of the veggies as a kid that I love today!  My father was always active, his job was very demanding and he had to be fit to be successful and my mother kept herself well.  She lifted weights and was an avid walker my entire childhood.  She played tag, ball, tennis, swam, whatever we wanted, with us all the time.  Having an active mom and those memories are one of my driving forces to be fit, I want that with  my girls too.  I want to give that to other families!

It is so hard sometimes and I know there are so many people out there that can relate to this.  Wonder woman one moment to feeling failure the next.  Together we can be stronger than apart.  We can lift each other up when we are down and help carry the load when it gets too heavy.  Inspiring each other, will keep you inspired.

That is it, in a nutshell.  Like I said, there is so much that is driving me in this endeavor, but to have words to share why, is difficult.  I think I will continue to add little bits of my inspiration as this blog continues.  Maybe it will help you recognize what inspires you!
