About a month ago I got an email from a lady named Jana.  She lives in Utah and wrote to ask if we would ever consider working with someone to help them get started down the road to fitness.  I am passionate about helping people so I was happy to try and help.

I get several emails a day from people asking for help, but many people aren’t ready to accept help.  When I respond to them it is then up to them to follow through.  Unfortunately, most people don’t.  Many just want to share their feelings and that is it.  When Jana responded back, I knew she was serious.

We emailed back and forth a couple of times and came up with a plan.  The plan was that she would come to Seattle and work with Suzy and I.  I was asking her to make a commitment to us, a financial commitment,  a time commitment, and most importantly a time commitment.

Many people are afraid to really commitment.  Jana has a husband, 4 boys, one who is Autistic, but she was willing to make a commitment.  She is now here this week.  She is doing things she never thought she was capable, but most importantly, she is honoring her commitment to herself.

Jana did something huge, she reached out for help and then accepted that help once offered.  So many time people talk about what they want to do or are going to do, and then never do anything.  We are so proud of her.  In just a couple of days we have seen a huge change in her attitude and mind set.  Sure she is sore and I would imagine that at times she questions why she decided to come, but the fact is she IS here.

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a person change their life and to be part of that change.  I would love to take credit for what is happening in this woman’s life, but the fact is that SHE is doing it.

Jana has shown this week that it is not enough to go to the precipice of change and stare over the edge.  You have to be willing to take that leap and embrace all that making a change has to offer.
