So, I just returned from California and had an amazing time! I came away with great information and ideas but the best part was I met the most amazing people and heard their incredible stories.
Now, this would not have happened had I not stepped out of my comfort zone!
I went to this fitness conference with 400 other individuals and some of the most respected people in my industry and did not know even one of them prior to attending. BUT, I left having made some great contacts in the industry and most of all some wonderful friends. If I had just attended the conference and not introduced myself to people then I would have missed out on so much.
So, my challenge to you is to step out of your comfort zone and do something each and every day that makes you just a little uncomfortable but you know could benefit you in the end. Even if that is just saying hello to a stranger or introducing yourself to someone. You never know who that person is or how they could impact your life.
I know if someone unexpected says hello to me or does something kind I remember that act and think about it often. I'm sure you all have had an experience like this, so think about how wonderful it makes you feel and return that feeling to someone else. You never know what their day is like and it could be just what they need to change their outlook and brighten their day.
We are so quick to judge others without knowing "their story." Take the time and get to know someone and you never know...it may just make your day too!
Here are some photos from the conference with me and my idols. They are "celebrities" in this industry! I feel so blessed to have met them and spent the weekend with them. The most awesome news is that I get to go back out to California in a month and spend some more time learning from these fitness gurus!
