Monday Motivation - What Is A Workout?

Bank of America Home Loans Senior Mortgage Loan Office Rich Godbout is also a coach.  In an email to real estate professionals, Rich shared his favorite motivational quotation.  

What Is A Workout? - by George Allen

A workout is 25 percent perspiration and 75 percent determination. Stated another way, it is one part physical exertion and three parts self-discipline. Doing it is easy once you get started.

A workout makes you better today than you were yesterday. It strengthens the body, relaxes the mind, and toughens the spirit. When you work out regularly, your problems diminish and your confidence grows.

A workout is a personal triumph over laziness and procrastination. It is the badge of a winner-- the mark of an organized, goal-oriented person who has taken charge of his, or her, destiny.

A workout is a wise use of time and an investment in excellence. It is a way of preparing for life's challenges and proving to yourself that you have what it takes to do what is necessary.

A workout is a key that helps unlock the door to opportunity and success. Hidden within each of us is an extraordinary force. Physical and mental fitness are the triggers that can release it.

A workout is form of rebirth. When you finish a good workout, you don't simply feel better, YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF

Thanks for your comments.  I just got back from a long walk through Kentlands and Lakelands.  I took a few photographs along the way.

Thanks Roy!  I'm working out on how to make my 'workout plans' - work out... I think I'll have to walk on it, literally.

I love motivational posts as well.  They give so much to you in such a short period of time and make you feel so much better about yourself; especially in this tough industry we are in.

We have a chilly morning in Kentlands. This afternoon should be a good time to do some clean up work in our home garden.
