It's now the time of year that holiday celebrations are in full swing. One movie that always finds it's way back around is The Polar Express with Tom Hanks. My two boys recently were able to go watch this classic in the historic Alabama Theater here in Birmingham, Alabama. I have to say that it really is one of the neatest places I've been for the venue that it is. So much history to even wrap my mind around.
Speaking of history, we create our own history whether we realize it or not. There was a quote from the conductor in the movie where he says "The thing about trains... it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on". I can't help but think about all of the opportunities that I have missed by not "getting on the train" and even the ones I was able to by "getting on the train".
Many people often start thinking about their New Year's Resolutions this time of year. Some of these resolutions are their proverbial "trains" too. So often people get off that train before it reaches it's destination or they fail to continually "enjoy the ride".
As many of you know, or don't know, I've been committed to improving my health and fitness for some time now. I've had peaks and valleys but do know this, I'm on the train to a better life; for me and for my family. I've completely changed my life with the help of Beachbody and products like Power 90, P90X, Insanity, RevAbs and soon to be P90X2. I'm still not perfect, never will be, but I'm on that train headed toward a better day of health & fitness.
So January also starts a new phase in my life. I don't consider it a New Year's Resolution because it's not new to me, it's only a new workout starting January 2, 2012 called P90X2. It's the newest creation from renowned trainer Tony Horton, and whether you believe it's a "good" product or not, you can't deny the results that P90X has created for millions of people. I'm confident that P90X2 will do the same and mark my word, it will further improve ME in the coming months. I also have a small challenge group of like-minded people that, starting January, will motivate, encourage and hold me accountable to my best outcome.
In closing, I highly encourage you to not "miss your train". No matter if it's personal health/fitness, family, career or anything else, be sure to get on board! Rory Cochrane once said "I do not regret the things I've done, but those I did not do". Make today great, and then do that all over the next day..........!
