"Do what you love to do". How many times have each of you heard this statement? How many of you actually really did it. Most of us had aspirations to do just that and then all of a sudden life started getting in the way and we settled for something that was a steady pay check and some possible opportunities for growth. We told ourselves this is the right thing to do because this type of a job will afford us the opportunity later in life to do what we want to do. Well did it and how much later on in life did this thought come true. For me it took 30 years of working in the landscape industry to finally make it come true. That an awful long time to wait to make that idea a reality. Don't wait that long, try your hardest to do it from the start. Push yourself to take that chance and make it happen. The awesome thing that I am finding out is that when you do decide to go for it and you start to see how much happier you are and the things you have the ability to accomplish you will fight like hell and work harder then you ever have to make sure you can keep doing what it is you love to do. My favorite part of what I am doing now is not owning my gym and training people. It is the idea of helping people and the coaching, everything else is secondary. For me getting to this place in your personal ethos makes none of what I do feel like work anymore, just amazing happiness and personal satisfaction. Is that not where we all want to be in life. I encourage you to make this happen for yourself if have not already done so. The feeling of "Doing what you love to do" is truly amazing. 

For those of you that do not know, we are doing a cereal drive for the Summit County Educational Service Center. We are trying to do our part in raising 20,000 breakfast serving for the special needs kids that will be attending the SECS summer classes. The services that SECS are invaluable to these kids and they could use all of our help. If you would like to donate a box of cereal to help these kids start the day off with a good breakfast at school, please drop a box off at Big Tree Fitness during our business hours. All donations are very much welcomed and appreciated.
