Finding Our Inner Potential

Finding Our Inner Potential 
I want you to think back to when you were a kid. We all believed that we could be whatever we wanted. President of the U.S., Fireman, Ninja, Robot, the list goes on and on. No one could tell us that these things were impossible. However somewhere along the way we lost the ability to dream and unlock our true potential. 
I was listening to a CD by Dr. Miles Monroe the other day and he made a statement that made me think of this blog. He said everything we will ever need to be successful is within us. Fish do not need to attend swimming lessons, birds do not need to attend flight school, all of these things are born into the animal. So why as humans do we have such a hard time accepting this concept? If its in all of us, why do we not see it or access it?
This is what made me think of the seed. You see,every fruit or tree started as a seed. The seed alone is useless, but when planted, nourished, cared for and loved, it can grow to be what it was always meant to be. People have infinite potential but if nobody takes the time to nourish us and help us see our potential we will turn out like that useless seed. This is another reason why you must be aware of who you spend your time with. Your inner circle should be filled with people who nourish you and help you discover the potential in you. 
Just like the tree and grass you could also be healthy one day and if neglected you could shrivel up and die. There are people we all know who were filled with life and excited about reaching their potential and then something happened that ruined their spirit. For example an injury, divorce, bad grades or loss of a loved one. These are all tragic events in their own way but bad times will not last forever unless you let them. Look at the grass in the winter time, it disappears like it was never there and then somehow in the spring it comes alive.  When times are hard you just need to surround yourself with people who boost your spirit and pull your potential out of you. 
We are all filled with soooo much potential! Now is the time to look within and find it. Once you find it you must use it. Stop wasting your time and energy on crap that does not fill you. Life if not a test run, we only get one shot at this. Enjoy it, love it, live it to the limit that YOU set!

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our pelvis in a neutral

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m
