It is hard to believe how fast this year is cruising by.
As someone who listens to people all day long, I can tell you the one universal constant is that time flies! Ever since I started doing this personal training stuff I must hear this phrase at least once a week... "Larry... Where does the time go? ! It just seems as you get older time just flies!" Well I think they are right - believe it or not, September 22nd is an important date as it marks the 100 day countdown of 2008.
With that in mind, I thought I would give you a little test and have put together a number of questions for you to consider as you progress toward the finish line and call this year a wrap:
1. What specific results have you achieved so far this year?
2. Are you healthier, wealthier, and wiser?
3. Are you winning, losing, or just holding ground?
4. What results are you committed to achieve by the end of the year?
5. How have you grown and what have you learned this year?
6. Is there any unfinished business that needs to be tended to in your life?
7. Are you actively pursuing what's most important on a daily basis?
8. What habits or behaviors do you need to change to ensure better results?
9. What is the key issue that inhibits your ability to perform at your best?
Now be honest with answers to the above questions. (No one is looking!)
This year isn't a loss by any means, but for sure we know the days will pass us by quickly whether we like it or not. If you want to be more productive than you have been and end on a really positive note, you might have to change your mindset. In those last 100 days you will have to have a sense of urgency that you may not be used to, because every day and everything you do really does count!

September 22nd is a significant milestone, and the one thing we all have in common is that we all love a challenge. (You must, you put up with me!) But for some of you it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can't beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it. Whatever it is, your attitude needs to be "BRING IT ON - nothing is going to stop me!" There's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned challenge to see what you're made of, push the boundaries, and test your limits, as it is ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.
Are You Ready to Astonish Yourself? Are you ready to catch the brass ring?
Earlier this year, you set some goals, made promises to yourself, and ended up with unmet goals and unmet promises. Right now, you have the opportunity to close out the year like a winner. You are staring down the barrel of an awesome opportunity to finish the year strong. I wish you a great home stretch during these last 100 days and encourage you to dream big dreams and take the necessary actions (and be stubborn enough) to make them reality!
Til next time....
