This picture is of my fortune last night from my dinner. I really liked that message, it is very true in life in general. By helping someone you help yourself. I can apply this to my life in so many ways.
I am starting another journey with Team in Training for the Summer season. When I started 4 years ago, I was really just looking to help myself. I wanted to lose baby weight after having kids and get back into shape. I wanted to become an athlete. I wanted to become a healthier person. I wanted to be a good role model for my kids. It was really for selfish reasons that I joined. I wanted to get ME back. Little did I know I would get THAT and a whole lot more. A world opened up to me. A void in my life was filled that I really never knew that I had. A cause became a mission that means so much to me. I became someone that could make a difference in the world. One mile at a time.
It all started with a journey to help others and I truly helped myself. After my metamorphosis of becoming an athlete, I wanted to spread the word, shout it to the roof tops as loud as I could, how remarkable being a part of Team in Training is. I became a mentor so I could teach others how they too could transform their lives by helping others. It's like a firestorm, it's a spark that spreads like a wild fire. I want to be part of the solution, part of the team that funds the research for that study that finds that miracle drug that CURES cancer.
Today was our first training of the season. I have the privilege of being a mentor again to a group of remarkable individuals. I look forward to getting to know each one of them and helping them along with their own personal journey. I only hope that I can fuel their inner fires and start the flame burning as brightly for them.
If you have a voice that has been nagging you to make a change in the world, consider joining Team in Training. http://www.teamintraining.org/firsttimehere/
