Farewell, Kentucky. Hello, Florida!

4/30/2013

"I will miss seeing these every day."

I received a text from a friend a few weeks ago that read,

"In order to live a rich life,
one must have more beginnings than endings."

My time in Lexington, KY has come to an end, but a new beginning in St. Augustine, FL officially has begun...

Are You Too Connected? It's Time to Unplug...

4/19/2013

Your morning alarm on your iPhone goes off...

                Check email.
                Check text messages.
                Check Facebook.
                Check Twitter.
                Check LinkedIn.
                Check Instagram.
                Get out of bed.

Repeat 10 minutes later (minus getting out of bed), and 34 more times throughout your day.

Push-Up Progression

4/9/2013

"I don't do push-ups; they're too easy. "
"I bet I could do 100 push-ups in a row."
"I just bench press to work my chest."

Check out the video below that goes through push-up progressions to make sure you're performing push-ups at the appropriate difficulty level!

Never. Give. Up. (repost)

Want to talk about perseverance? Check out my younger brother's determination to grab my flag!

(This is a repost from August. I believe you cannot tell someone "never give up!" enough!)

I see it every day; people calling it quits right before they are about to be successful.

Don't be that person who stops just short of their goal.

Never. Ever. Give up.

Make it happen.

(Repost & Review) "2013- The Best Year of My (&yours!) Life"

4/2/2013

It's April? Where has the year gone?!

Since 2013 is already 1/4 of the way complete, I figured now would be the perfect time to review some of the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year.

I review these goals often (and have set other ones along the way), and I'd like to share my progress thus far. I've found that making my goals known to others holds me accountable more so than if I keep them to myself...
