What’s up ya’ll? This is Jackie O., the First Lady of Fitness, Fashion, and Fun. I am a Pittsburgh based personal trainer and lifestyle coach. In my former life, I was an unhappy attorney. I am often asked how I found the strength to take the plunge and abandon the practice of law and pursue fitness, fashion, and fun full-time. The answer is really simple. I believed in myself! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!
Motivation starts with you! You must aspire to be happier and more successful in life. You must then act on those aspirations, even when others tell you that you are of of your mind. Nothing can defeat you, except you! Sure, there will be obstacles in life and tough times, but when you believe in yourself you will persevere. Positive people learn how to handle life’s challenges differently and use these opportunities to grow. You should constantly aim for self-improvement and use adversity to learn, develop, and ultimately move on.
Each and every one of us is remarkable in our own way, we just need to believe in ourselves so that the light inside of us can shine! I start each day by looking in the mirror and saying some sort of positive affirmation. This morning, I looked in mirror and said to myself,
“I AM THE 50 FOOT WOMAN – STRONG, POWERFUL, AND FEARLESS!”
We create who will are and to a large degree determine our own destinies. I want you to choose to be healthy, happy, and secure. I want you to open yourself up to all the positive energy in the world. Find joy and meaning in your life, by believing in yourself! I do!
