I have said this many times to clients I work with, kids I coach, etc.  Find Your Why.  When Jillian said this on the Biggest Loser last night I felt pretty proud she feels the same way-she’s pretty Bad Ass.

Find what fuels you, lights you up inside and it will propel you forward.  I have a few why’s….Why? Because I want to live life as fully and strong as I can, because I want to celebrate all the gifts I have received in my life including honoring all who fought for me to live and my donors and their families. Because I want to live a long life with my family and grow old many years from now with Ben. Because I will only demand the most from my life, and help others want the same from theirs.  And the most important why..Because from the day he was born my son Liam is my why, my purpose, my oxygen.

Many times in life we are challenged both physically and mentally with obstacles to overcome and fears to face-if we take a moment to feel, really feel, the WHY it will bring you through.  You will need to push and dig, and grab, and believe, but you can and will do it.

Find your why.  Finds what will make you fall 7 times and get back up 8, what will make you grab a hold onto any dream and goal and not quit.  Find what makes you know, despite what anyone else says that YOU CAN.

May you all live your life as fully as you deserve,

Believe You Can
