There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today."

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

"HMMM," she said, "I think I will part my hair down the middle today."

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.

"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail."

So she did and she had a fun fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.

"YEAH!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude really is everything.

My mom gave this to me because she recognized that this is truely how I live my life...

I'm not perfect and I do have my moments but I choose to start everyday with the right attitude and ready to take on whatever is thrown at me.

Trust me when I say it is hard to get inspired about 5am cardio but I LOVE how I feel when I leave the gym knowing that I accomplished my goal.

I have said many times that great achievements always follow hard work, dedication and focus.

The road isn't easy and for most of us the journey seems long. Stay postitive, have the right attitude, focus on making the small goals happen (like just getting your butt out of bed and to the gym!) and you will be amazed at how much brighter your life becomes.
