Goals 2010, Here We Go!

goals

As stated in my last post, 2010 will be here in about 7 weeks. Wow, where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday I remember it turning over to 2000. Time continues to speed by faster every year it seems.

How did your goals for 2009 go? Did you make it? I will have a full update on all of mine coming soon. Some I made, and others I did not; but the good part is that there still is 7 weeks to go yet.

Time Is Not a Given

I’ve become painfully aware again that time is not a given. Recently, Jodie’s grandpa passed away at the age of 89. He lived a wonderful and full life, but the loss of a loved one is always very hard and makes you step back and re-examine again.

Just a bit after I graduated from college the first go round (after 7.5 years full time I swore I was never going back again, hahaha, but I swear once I am done again this time I am not going back) in early 2000, a good friend of mine, Christie, was struck by a car that crossed the center line and impacted her vehicle head on. She was killed instantly. She was only in her early 20s and I had just talked to her a few weeks before. I was in shock for quite awhile as I could not believe what I was hearing. It is always hard when a loved one dies, but it is always much more difficult when then they are young and in good health, as you expect them to always be there. Unfortunately, that is not true.

A Powerful Lesson

As painful as it was (and still is at times), I feel blessed to have learned a powerful lesson at a young age (I was 25). I learned that life if precious and your time is limited. I wrote the following letter to my friends at the time to share with them what I had learned and what their friendship and support meant to me. I have published one of the letters below as it was written then so you can learn some of the same lessons I had to learn the hard way. I am not the only one who has gone through these circumstances and I am sure many of you can relate.

The Letter

Dear Sherri,

Hi there! Hi there to Lance also. How are you doing? How was your weekend. I am glad that I got to talk to you on the phone the other day. Thanks for the support and I know you are always there if I need anything. I am doing better now. Tues and Wed I went to work, but it was hard. The wake for Christie as you know was last Wed night from 5-8pm and it was horrible. It was so hard to see her lying there and all of her family and brother. The funeral was earlier in the day on Thurs. and that was also very hard. I can’t even remember the last time I cried that much. It was the saddest thing I have ever had to witness in my entire life. She was then laid to rest early that afternoon. Thanks for being there, it is much appreciated.

I guess the hardest part is that it is so sudden. One day you are here and the next you’re gone and not one second of your life do you get back. Henry Rollins said that on stage the same day that Christie was killed. Say I gave you $1440 a day for the next year. What would you do? Now say that I give you the same amount ($1440) a day, BUT you have to spend every last dollar by midnight that night. You can not save any of it for the next day. You would spend it differently wouldn’t you?

Well in life you get 1440 minutes per day and at the end of it you get not even one second of it back. You never know when the end is and I think that unfortunately it takes a tragic event to make some people (myself) to realize that. I have always tried to live my life for each day and plan for the future, but that is always much easier said than done. So I just wanted to thank you for everything thing that you have done for me and all the times that you have been there for me. I really appreciate it and it means everything to me.

I vow from now on to try harder than ever to live each day to the fullest. It is so easy to get bogged down in the day to day events that it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. I am very thankfully for all of my friends and family, I have a great job that I love going to (the drive sucks, but I will be moving soon), a roof over my head, food and love.

I vow to be more thankful for what I have and not put off happiness. How many times have you heard, ““Oh once I am done with this class I will be happy. Once I am done with this semester I will be happy. Once I graduate and get a job I will be much better. Once I retire I will be happy then.” Next thing you know your life is over.

Live each day as if it was your last because some day you will be right. I am not saying don’t plan for the future, but when you go to sleep at night you must be happy with each day and realize that if it was your last that would be ok. I know this sounds very morbid, but that is reality.

So thanks again Sherri for everything and listening. I wish you and Lance nothing but the best in your future. I will have to stop out and see you again. If you or Lance ever need anything no matter how big or small or what time of the day it is, please let me know and I will do the same for you. If you could do me a favor and say a prayer for Christie and her family I would appreciate it. Thanks again for everything.

Love always,

Mike

1 hour of my time to discuss YOUR goals and how to effectively reach them in record time. I’ve spent the last 17 years studying physiology, neurology and biomechanics in college (yikes, that is scary) and the last 4+ years applying those practices in the gym on athletes of all types.

Only 7 weeks of 2009 left, so this is a perfect way to get a jump start on your goals.

Private Online Training

I normally only take a handful of clients for online training and since I had a slot fill up recently, I only had 1 spot open. I did some re-arrangement of my schedule to free up one more spot, so I only have 2 spots open. I will have a waiting list after that, on a first come first serve basis depending if others renew or not. I keep the quality as high as possible and everything is custom, so I severely limit the number of clients I take on. See this link for further info

FREE Bonus Packages (limited time)

To furhter help you out, I am including the following bonuses

Bonus #1 4 Hour lectures Series: The Truth About Protein, Fats and Carbs

No matter what your goal, you need to know about how protein, carbs and fat affect your performance; from recovery to fat loss. Now you can take time to read all the websites, all the latest research and sift through all the information out there or you can just sit back and listen to a lecture on each one. Nevermind that most of the information out there is confilcting and you will probably end up confused!

The lectures are from an Advanced 12 Week Nutrition online course I did this past summer; so you get to hear live questions being answered. The sound quality is good, but nothing stellar as I did not initially planned to release it; but after getting numerous questions about are fats evil, too many carbs will make my fat, too much protein will destroy my kidneys; I decided to release them and clear up some massive confusion.

Value: a normal hour of my time is currently $110 an hour x 4 hours = $440, you will get it for free

1 lecture on protein
1 lecture on carbohydrates
1 lecture on fats
All on MP3 to put on your ipod

Here is some feedback from the overall course that each person paid $300 for a full 12 week course (you are just getting the first 3 weeks)

Seriously, it was most invaluable.

Was it worth the money? Absolutely. Very thorough. I would sign up again for the same topic or similar ones. Keep me on your list please if that happens.

Jeanne Petrick, Chicago, IL

Occupation: Pilates Instructor

Was it worth the money? Yes

Mike is very up-to-date with current literature and research

Tom Gallo Grinnell, Iowa

Occupation Physical Therapist

Was it worth the money? Yes. It motivated me to probe more detailed into the material to ask questions that were not perhaps covered in the reading material.

No matter how much you know about nutrition ( I have some background) , a person can continue to learn and benefit from others who have studied and researched the same subject. Also, you are genuinely interested in assisting, answering questions and your sincerity comes across. I feel I have a great resource in you now and I could write to you at anytime and ask questions, etc.

Carrie Strom Tucson, Arizona

Occupation— co owner of baseball academy www.gabriels.biz

This 3 set lecture course will be released later as a full product for sale, so you get it here exclusively for FREE.
