I'm glad I was listening today
I have been going to the gym for about 7 or 8 months now. Diligently walking 4-5 miles on the treadmill. I was working up a decent sweat and my heart rate was up there...but it just was not getting me the results I wanted.
So I got smart about it and hired a trainer about 3 weeks ago. Well, I'm not so sure how smart I was, but I now know there is MUCH MORE to working out than a "decent sweat"!
When I was leaving the training room today, after working through sore muscles on every part of my body, but doing the routine and pushing it my hardest, I saw the following written on the white board...
"If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you".
WOW, was that right on the money for me in that moment. And actually, that has shown up in other areas of my life as well such as professionally, personally and socially.
Of course I've heard this "concept" many times over...haven't we all? But I am TRULY grateful that I was LISTENING today!
Cheers,
Denise

Wow, what a quote. Makes you really think about a host of aspects of in your life. Thanks for making me think.
Excellent quote Denise! Always good to have a reminder that if you're standing still, you're not moving forward. Thanks for sharing. Off to go finish some work I've been putting off for too long now. :)
This definitely applies in the business world too!
