Two of the most important ingredients to being successful in any regard. At least in my opinion. They are NOT natural gifts, they are things you have to decide you have and have to tend to every day. I think one thing this pandemic has really taught me is not to settle. I always \u201cwant\u201d more but I\u2019m taking an honest inventory of myself and seeing how much more I could be \u201cworking\u201d to get it. Who knows if something like this will ever happen again? What I do know is I want to be ready for it. I wish I was in a position financially to tell our members that we don\u2019t need them to survive, but we are just like any other small business relying on its patrons. So I am Determined to continue to bring them value through this time with our Virtual Classes, and have the Discipline to come and get them done. We appreciate you all so much, I can\u2019t even describe it in words. Some friends of ours had to close their gym, and all I could think was how much I wished I was in a position to help them. I know first hand how much goes into this. It becomes your life. And I can\u2019t shake that thought out of my head \u201cI wish I could help\u201d. But the reality is I can\u2019t, and I\u2019ve always thought wishing for things was lazy, and a waste of your time. Because unfortunately wishes don\u2019t bring you what you need, work does. So today, I\u2019m Determined, and Disciplined to work harder, to be in that position.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
