A great way to start todays blog is with a quote in the title above from C.S. Lewis. What is Conviction: A firmly held belief or opinion of what it is you want above all else. How enthusiastic are you about your goals? Do you just sit back and wait for something to fall in your lap and happen, or do you go all out in order to try and achieve it? Conviction gives you what you sincerely want, but to achieve it, you must be willing to take the “plunge”, and go after it. “If you work with steadfast determination and conviction for long enough, you will achieve your goals.” ( Poissant and Godefrey, 1994, p247.)

A resolve within oneself that banishes all doubt despite the challenges faced”:–(Smash! Fit for Kids) Here I am at the start of the Disney Marathon. All kinds of self doubts going through my head. Am I ready for this? Have I done enough to prepare myself? Does my time really matter? Then you have to keep telling yourself: I matter…to me! I love this quote from Henry Ford: ” I refuse to recognize that there are impossibilities. I cannot discover that any one knows enough about anything or anyone to say what is and what is not possible. Therefore, if you have the belief to achieve, then you will find the conviction to reach your goals regardless of what somebody else has to say.”

We not only make a difference to ourselves, but to others who see what we do. Use this as motivation for yourself as well. Who may be looking up to you? Who is watching what you do, and think that if somebody sees what you do, maybe they can too? Ask your self these questions frequently. 1.) Why should someone be influenced by me? 2.) What’s the extra value I provide once they are? 3.) Why should I be influenced by me? (take from Ron Willingham of “Integrity selling”) Lead by example! Nothing is more powerful when encouraging others!
There will be good days and bad days. They will be days when you are tired. Don’t quit on yourself—the reward is too good. Believe in yourself! You must have confidence in both yourself and your plan—whatever your plan may entail going forward about how you can take care of yourself; to be healthier! Break your plan down. Take it is small increments. How fast you achieve things is not a contest. Slow is good! Hold on to your convictions, and be enthusiastic about them. Look at the enthusiasm we are all having in the first picture getting ready to go for a run. Why? Because we want to! Because we can! Someday we won’t be able to. Today is not that day!
