In Anything – The First Step is Always The Hardest
There have been a few firsts for me in my life as there are for all of us.
The first time I had to admit that I had a drinking problem and I was an alcoholic, looking into the mirror and admitting that I was overweight and as a matter of fact, I was obese.
Not easy things to do, but looking in the mirror at who we really are, and not at what we think we are, or pretending to be something that we really are not, is even harder to do. In anything, the first step is always the hardest.
As a baseball player stands at the plate and after the crack of the bat, he takes off running, as fast and as hard as he can, toward first base. Those first few steps are the hardest because he must start from a dead stand, but as he gets closer toward first base he picks up speed and momentum. Faster and closer he gets, and as he sees the base within his reach, he takes that last long stretch toward the bag and waits for the umpire to make his call.
So it is in life, and the things that are worth our every effort and energy to run towards, are not always the easiest to start. What is yours?
The next one on my list is to lose forty pounds and get back to a healthy lifestyle again. I'm looking in the mirror and I'm not happy at what I see. I used to be athletic and had a muscular body that could run, and jump, and now the only thing that looks athletic to me, is the basketball that I think I swallowed.
It's funny how the pounds can so quietly and subtlety creeps up on you. We live in a country where we are all so privileged, and over indulging ourselves, is something that we all think we so rightly deserve.
How many times do you go out to eat and get so much food that you have to take a doggie bag home every time, not to mention that restaurant food is usually not always the best for you, and we always over eat when we go out.
Now I'm not saying that you never go out to eat, reward yourself every now and then, but make it a time of being careful where you go and what you order. My wife and I usually share a meal and we always have enough.
80% of all Americans are overweight, and about 40% of young people, ages 6 to 19 are eating their way to a lifestyle of inactivity and illness.
We need to stop this process. We need to wake up to this growing epidemic in our country and do something now before it is to late.
If over eating and overweight people was a medical illness, (and it is), like the flu or some other virus that was infiltrating our society, America would be in a lock down, and all our cities would be quarantined. This is serious my friends.
That's why I am taking the 90 Day Challenge. I am going to lose forty pounds and my wife is going to lose sixty pounds. This is sweeping the country and if you have ever thought of losing those extra pounds and getting back to a healthy lifestyle, you need to get on the 90 Day Challenge with us. As a matter of fact, if you join us now, I will show you how you can get your products for free.
I've already lost 1.5 pounds. I've already started toward first base and the momentum is starting to grow.
First steps are not easy, but they are a must if you want to achieve your goals.
It's been over eleven years since I've had a drink of alcohol, and I would never have been here today talking to you now, if I hadn't taken that first step.
Take your first step…you can do it. I'll take it with you. Lets do it together, and together we will cross home plate, and we will win.
God bless you to make the choice.
