Birthday Depression - Midlife Crisis Anyone??

YEAH so it's Charlotte's birthday today.. I used to love my birthdays. Every year I planned a huge party doing something crazy inviting all my friends. But for some reason I'm just not in the birthday mood this time. I guess I'm in the "I'm half way to 44 crisis" these days. I'm thinking about all the stuff I'm going to do with my life and I feel like I'm going to run out of time! Does that sound familiar to anyone else but me?

What's the deal with getting older anyways.. So unnecessary! Why didn't God just let us stay young and beautiful and kill us when we had to make space for other people to live on earth. Weird.. Maybe He'll change his mind one of these days.

But as my mom says about this getting old and ugly matter: "You're not the only one that gets old! All of your friends do too!" Um yeah I know it's not a big brainer to figure that one out, but it's so true! And since I know that words have so much power, I've decided to stop hating on getting older, but rather live my life to the fullest every single day. From now on I am YOUNG and BEAUTIFUL. I might not get younger, but I will definitely be hotter and smarter the older I get. So what's the big deal?

Money - The Limiting Factor?

Sometimes I wish was a multi billionaire... Although, becoming a billionaire is not a real goal of mine, I don't ever want money to limit me in any way. I'm going to travel the world, speak at conferences world wide, own my gym of awesomeness, learn from fitness professionals at different locations, not worrying about if or when my money will run out. But, unfortunately, right now it pretty much has the last word (Not for too long!).

These days I'm working 24/7 to earn enough money for my stay in LA. I've gotten the honor and opportunity to be a part of the Results Fitness team in Santa Clarita for 3 months in February next year. So unreal but yet so expected (more on this in another blog post!).

Outside of Results Fitness

As for now I'm working two jobs next to training a few people on the side (for free!) to make it happen. I'm not complaining by any means, it's amazing what a vision does for you. But if I had one (more) wish, it would be 48 hour days. That would let me excel in training people, work 3 JOBS, have enough time for family and hang out time with friends, and last but not least, create even more great connections with like minded individuals, reading and studying business and fitness all day long. (Warning; I might contradict myself right now) - you really can make that so called 48 hour day happen if you just prioritize and do the RIGHT work at the right time. I guess that was more like a slap in the face to myself.

So your take home lesson for today is (as Coach Dos would say); DO WORK, and you will not die (those were actually my words).
