This photo is beautiful to me. It speaks to my heart in so many ways.....

Write down a list the excuses you have used in the past for not working out, for letting life pass you by, for not living in the moment. Now, replace the words I can't with the words I am not willing to. We all are blessed with a choice each and every morning to either sit by and waste another day or to make something of each and every opportunity regardless of the circumstances around us. Regardless of barriers, hardships, challenges.....WE CAN OVERCOME!

Now, get up, get out and MOVE! LIVE! REACH and STRIVE FOR MORE!!

This is so true. There are no excuses for not doing our part to get HEALTHY, FIT, EXERCISE AND CONTROL OUR WEIGHT. We are are own enemies. We need to become our own HEROES and strive for a better life.

There is nothing we can't do if we eliminate our excuses.

yes boss! I've seen that photo many times over the last week and that little boy inspires me so much. How can I sit around and complain that I can't, when clearly he is!

I love the smile on that boy's face, his joy, no concerns, no troubles. It really makes all our excuses pretty weak, doesn't it?

Thank you for sharing.

We should all have the same attitude as the young boy in that photo. He isn't letting ANYTHING hold him back.

I saw something similar. A man with 1 leg who was in such fantastic shape. Same tag line though. You are right. If you want to work, you have to WORK. And it is totally worth it! Thanks!

I have seen that picture several times lately and I love it. Makes me smile.
That young boy is happy for who he is and for what he has.
There is nothing missing in his life and everyone should be just as grateful for who they are...as is!
