Inspirational:  Accountability 

What does the word accountability mean to you?  I use to look at it as a reason to rebel, as I always thought the person/or situation was what had control over me, as I sort of felt I had to answer to them if I didn't follow through!  Little did I know! The awareness of this word started to make more sense as I started to commit myself to different projects in my life.  I realized if I make a commitment to something, then I need to be accountable and come through with sticking to what is required from me to achieve what I set myself out to do.

To be accountable means so much more than just that word, it makes us be responsible to the person/situation, it makes us reliable by showing up and doing the works, it makes us set a good example to others who find it hard to be accountable.  It allows other people to see that what I say I do, and they will always be able to trust and rely on me.

However, most importantly for me, personally it has made me feel better about myself.  By been willing to oblige and accept responsibility to a commitment/action has allowed me to not only achieve the personal goals I’m setting for myself but it’s also allowing me to be an influence in other peoples lives and having an affect on them.  I’ve learnt that others like to be around and associated with accountable people, it gives one the confidence of a hearty & sincere person.

Let me know what you think of the action of been accountable? and how does it affect your life and others around you?

Perseverance

The last six months has taught me so much about perseverance when it comes to my weight loss & fitness.  The first three months of hard training and good eating I was not seeing any results, however I was surrounded by the right training people and I kept it going. I persevered through thick and thin, weight up  weight down; energy up energy down and so much more.  One of the things that keep me moving forward was that I was seeing a slight difference in tone and inches lost.
Now in July (from end of January) I can finally say I am down 20 pounds, my first goal I set for myself; finally achieved.  It has been a very slow process but I persevered and the results are now paying off.
I've realized and learnt that perseverance definitely does bring results.  If we just realize "Never Give Up" and persevere through thick and thin there is surely a bright light at the end of the every tunnel.

Remember: In times of difficulties keep a steady pace over the obstacles and you will surely be led to the desires of your heart.
