My debt to you

Had a brilliantly motivating day today. One of those that crystallizes what I'm trying to accomplish. I got to meet along with one of my dearest friends Ron Gardner, Roger Long. I've gotten to know Roger through Facebook and was excited to meet him in person. Both are dealing with Parkinson's disease and they are excelling. I can't do justice to their stories so look for the links at the bottom to get it from the source.

But I digress. To listen to them, going through the work that is their lives it makes you really humble. I've accomplished some in my life, but I know there is so much more to get done. And Roger was kind enough to remind me why I started FitMedic in the first place. It was and still is because I owe it to you. What I've done can be done by anyone, and that's what I'm here to do. Encourage you to accomplish what you want. And it may be similar to my story, it may be totally different. But we all have that story. And the success that I've had, well, not to share it is truly selfish. And yes for the cynics out there I am running a business and there is money involved. Ill never deny that I'd like to make this a successful entity. And if FitMedic is successful and people are reached and their goals are accomplished then everyone wins.

One last point that Roger made and I thought this was amazing was that he had met more people an established more friendships because of his condition than he ever would've. Well that's the thing. When people need help and extend themselves out there, very often it comes back in spades. So in that spirit I'm here extending myself to you. I'm not the be all end all of trainers and may never be but I've been through some of the same crap that you are dealing with. And you need to know you can get farther along the path with effort. Thanks Ron and Roger for refocusing and Inspiring me.
