Either you’re truly fit and vibrant or you’re not.

The diet industry booms this time of year, only to leave in its wake millions of unhealthy and unhappy people. Why? Because true health and vibrancy doesn’t depend on food alone. We all know that, but most of us aren’t as physically fit and vibrant as we want to be. Do you have as much energy as you’d like to have throughout the day? Are the food and proportions you’re consuming helping you feel light and fueled, or heavy and wasted? Are you exercising several times a week? If you haven’t felt truly alive in some time, it probably has more to do with your physical conditioning and the amount of food on your plate than on how busy you are or how much you have on your plate at work. Make today the day you rededicate yourself to living a fit, vibrant, and healthy life.

Transformation Truth #7:

Either you’re building wealth or you’re depleting it.

Most of us have a one-sided love affair with money — we take and spend, but we don’t give and save. The majority of us also believe that there’s not enough abundance in the world, that we’re only worth so much, and can only earn a given amount each year. Are you making as much money as you would like to right now? Why not? Are you adding enough value at work? Have you been differentiating yourself, coming up with new clients or products or services, seeking mentors who can help you climb higher? Are you putting more away than you spend? If not, why? We all know the advice: earn, spend little, save lots, plan for the long haul. This is a great time to check yourself — and your checkbook. It’s time to set some higher financial goals in your life — so you can take care of yourself and others — and to create a plan for a more profitable year.

Transformation Truth #8:

Either you’re truly stepping up or you’re backing down.

How are you facing life’s challenges? Are you hiding under the sheets or seizing the day? Are you running away from your fears or charging at them head-on? Are you avoiding your problems or knocking them off one by one? Those that dramatically transform their lives refuse to shrink from anyone or anything. They choose to stand up and speak up in life even when it feels like the hardest thing in the world to do. How about you? Are you choosing to stand up or back down? Are you making your presence known? Have you shared your thoughts and feelings and declared what you want in life? Have you fought for your dreams and done it consistently enough to create the life you’ve always wanted?

I hope these Truths help you assess where you are today and where you need to go. I also hope you always find the strength to face your life, to boldly walk up to the gates of possibility, ticket ready in hand, willing to claim the life you’ve always deserved.
