To be honest, when I first met Ange, I found it a little strange that she kept a book of quotes, but as time passed and situations came and went, she had a good quote for nearly everything! I 1find that it is actually comforting to be able to find a quote that fits your mood. It kind of makes you feel like you might not b abnormal after all! Everyone can use a little inspiration now and again... Thus began my love of quotes.
Although I'm not hardcore enough for my own quote book yet, looking around the Internet, books, commercials, or magazine ads, I am finding a lot of things that are inspiring to me. Just yesterday, I found my very favourite quote to date. I found it in text form, but after doing some research on it, I found this video with Steve Jobs narrating, using my new inspiration.
I think I like this so much because I feel like it really relates to my life. I never want to do anything on a small scale. I want to change the world. No matter how often friends or family might tell me that I'm crazy, I always want to push the limits.
It reminds me of all of the challenges I have taken on, including this new weight loss one. I could just quietly go about my business and push myself and reach my goals, but that's not good enough. I want to document the daily challenges and pass along a little extra motvation in hopes that someone who reads this might want to change their own lifestyle. Maybe I'm helping a friend who doesn't know where to begin or feels unmotivated. Maybe one day, someone will be quoting me!
Until then, I just want to throw out a couple of big thanks. One is to my friend Tammy who never really realizes just how awesome she is. The other is to Ange, who makes time in her schedule to go to the gym with me and encourages me to eat properly and train hard. Not everyone can say they get a chance to train with an International Figure Champ, but I do all the time, and that's pretty cool.
Also, on the note of changing the world, I have set out another pretty big task for myself... and one for all of you, should you choose to accept. I have recently decided to try to raise $10,000 for Plan Canada in order to build a school for 80 children in Ghana. First fundraiser is a ball hockey tournament on January 28th at my bar, Bossy's Pub and Grub. This truly isn't a plug for my bar, but I hope all of you can make it out, put a team in, donate, volunteer, get prizes... anything to help! Contact me or call the bar for more details!
Become one of the "Crazy Ones", or at least join THIS Crazy One in trying to change the world! I bet we're all a little crazier than we think!
One last thing, I got out of bed this morning with a very sore set of legs, and I have to tell you, being UNCOMFORTABLE never felt so good!
