Okay everyone, this is it. I started the P90X Extreme Home Fitness program on Sunday, August 8^th and it is a killer!

The first thing I did when I got my P90X program a few days ago was read the Fitness Guide. In the beginning of the guide is a letter from the Carl Daikeler who is the CEO of Beachbody and Team Beachbody and the title of his letter is Embrace the Struggle. It was just what I needed to read.

In the letter Carl talks about how he went through the P90X program and how he struggled in the beginning but he persevered and made it through and had amazing results. He emphatically says “it’s okay if you’re struggling” because he doesn’t want anyone to quit.

I found this very encouraging because right then and there I knew that although this would be tough, I could do it. Many before me had the same issues and they conquered and so can I.

Whatever you want that’s worth having, usually requires some struggling. If you want to be successful, it usually requires some struggling.

If you want to have a successful business you will have to struggle to get it started and in a position where you are making a profit. The money just doesn’t come in as soon as you open the doors. There are expenses, employees, inventory, suppliers, distributors and customers you have to deal with on a regular basis but fighting through the struggles will lead to success.

In your relationships there are struggles. You have to be compassionate, caring, understanding, selfless, supportive, loving and able to stick with it if you want your relationships to work. Any married couple can tell you that it takes work to make a marriage work. As soon as the honeymoon is over, that’s when the work begins.

Ra ising children

is a struggle too. In order to be a good parent you must always set good examples, be supportive, authoritative, loving, encouraging and present in your children’s lives. They will disappoint you and sometimes let you down but if you fight through the struggles, you’ll have success.

So as I continue on this 90 journey I’m going to Embrace the Struggle and know that it will only last for a season. Since I’ve decided to do this, I know that I’m committed and if I stick with it and do everything that is required, I WILL have success because that is the Beachbody motto: Decide, Commit, Succeed!

To YOUR Success,

In a couple of weeks I’ll be starting a new adventure. I am so out of shape that I have come to a point in my life where it is mandatory for me to start working out again so I can get back in great physical shape. Ahhh, the good ole’ days.

Lately I’ve been working on my professional, spiritual and personal development but I’ve ignored my physical development. I used to be in tip top shape not too long ago. I mean I was a gym rat. But all of a sudden, work hours became long and it was hard for me to get in the gym. Then my three kids became very busy with their extracurricular activities and that made it even harder for me to get in the gym.

Before I knew it, I was a mess. I was out of shape, lazy and always tired but NOW it is the time to make that change.

I did my research and I’ve decided to go the route of P90X as my way of getting back in shape. Everyone I’ve heard talk about it only had good things to say. Although they all said it was challenging, they said if you stick w

ith it, it works and that is what I am looking for. RESULTS!

When I checked out the beachbody.com website, I came across their motto: Decide. Commit. Succeed. Man I love that motto. Right then and there I knew I was on the right path.

DECIDE is defined as to make a final choice or judgment about what to do.

Regardless of what you want to do in life you MUST first DECIDE to do. If you go back and forth about what it is you want, and you’re indecisive, you will continue to be lost. The most important step is to step out there, make a choice and tell yourself and let the world know that this is something you have decided to do.

COMMIT is defined as to carry into action deliberately.

COMMIT to make things happen on purpose. This is not something that isn’t knowingly, it is done on purpose, deliberately. It is the key to being successful. After you decide that you want to do something, you MUST commit to make it happen. You have to be persistent and consistent in working your plan EVERYDAY.

SUCCEED is defined as to attain a desired object or end.

Once you’ve made a commitment and put things in action, the only thing left is to SUCCEED. If you have a well thought out plan, and the proper system in place, success is right around the corner.

No one talks about or plans to fail and neither should you. Success is your goal and you can do it whether it is an exercise program, a business plan, continuing your education or getting a promotion on the job. If you DECIDE and COMMIT, you will be able to SUCCEED.

In 90 days I plan on showing the world my success by being committed to the fitness plan I’ve invested in. What about you? When do you plan on seeing success and in what areas of your life do you want to see it in?

Go out there and DECIDE, COMMIT and SUCCEED!

Please leave me a comment and let me know if they is something you need to Decide, Commit and Succeed in. Also, let others know about this post by sharing with your Facebook, Twitter and other social media friends.
