Until You Can

How was everyone's weekend? We went hunting for our christmas tree on Saturday and I must say we were quite successful. Once again we have a beautiful Frasier Fir decorated in our living room. The house has a wonderful fresh cut pine scent throughout it. Congratulations to the "Akron Rugby Football Club''. This past Saturday they received a proclamation from the Mayor and the City of Akron that states that henceforth December 4th will be known as "Akron Rugby Football Club Day". A well deserved honor. Akron Rugby Club Football is celebrating 50 years this year. Akron has one of the oldest club teams in America. Fifty years is quite the accomplishment. Congratulations once again.

"You Can't Until You Can"

How many times have you heard someone or even yourself say "Oh there is no way I can do that". I would bet you have heard this statement quite often in your own past. For those of you that have been with Big Tree Fitness for a while probably don't find yourself saying this too often any more. The reason for that is at some point and time whether you realized or not at the time, some part of you decided to add "Until I Can" to the phrase "I can't do that". I know since starting Big Tree Fitness I went through a lot of "I Can't Until I Can" moments and I have witnessed many of them as well with you all. It takes a certain way of thinking and actions to possess this mindset. Some of us have found it and some of us are just starting to find it, but the one thing we all have in common no matter where you are at on this path. It is that we all realize that we must practice and work at cultivating this mindset everyday. Each day that we do the work needed to grow and make this mindset strong within each of us, we create so many more opportunities to say "Now I Can".


I hope you all have a great week and keep this quote in the back of your mind this week "I Can't Until I Can". Thanks and as always your thoughts and comments are always welcome.
