Return of The Dead

 

Hi Tools Friends!!

I haven't blogged in soooooo long and felt it was time to come back.  I've been really busy with family, work, and training.  And with Christmas I truly didn't have a second to spare.

What's funny is that in the short time I've been part of tools I have learned soooo much!  Even though its been a couple of weeks since I've logged on my life has improved ten fold.  Literally every aspect of my life has increased with satisfaction.  Work, relationships, family, and my health are all doing well. 

One morning while lying in bed before getting up I was thinking how I haven't logged in and started to feel guilty.  That's when it hit me!  I had this huge, "ahh haa" moment! 

Yes I love Tools, and yes in 10 short days its already rewired my life but feeling guilty about not logging in isn't cool.  That's when this little voice came over me and said, " you already have all the tools you need to live the happy and satisfying life you desire, you simple need to stop making excusues and use them."

The thought was so profound it was as if I had just been visited by the three Christams ghosts!!!

Since that day my life has exploded with goodness.  I haven't made an excuse or complained about my life in any way since that day.  I enjoy going into work.  I love the people around me more then I ever have.  I've taken a full minute and a half off my PB 5K through serious training and I've lost a total of 7 lbs!!! 

I'm going to continue to use Tools as I feel it's extrememly beneficial but I truly realize that it's me doing the hard work, not Coach Steele or anyone else....ME!  I will always be forever greatful for Coach Steele's push but I will always remind myself that the tools he teaches us we already have within us.  Unfortunately for most of us they lay there dormant until someone like Coach Steele comes around and taps us on the shoulder.

I look forward to finishing this course with everyone and wish you all the very very very best in 2011!!

Great job!

That is awesome that you have realized that on your own.  You are right many people look outside themselves for the answers and for the quick fix.

You are doing amazing, keep it up!
