Success is Contagious (Guest Post)


Witnessed at my house this week: waking up early to exercise, signing up for races, exercising during nap time, lunch hour at the pool, and spending the evenings exercising.  When you live with someone who has made healthy living a priority, it is contagious.  As my husband has increased his drive to get healthy, it is challenging to sit idly and watch.  His passion and drive have inspired me to get up and move….though not quite as much as him!

We surround ourselves with people who have our same hobbies, religious beliefs and occupations.  Watching Patrick transform himself physically has taught me that the key to success at anything is to have people around you who will serve as role models, motivators and cheerleaders.  Since we now have a home gym, I have the chance to work out with or next to Patrick.  When we are both working hard it is so much easier to give a few extra minutes, an extra few reps or go a little bit faster.


I hope to continue to make a habit of finding people who will push me to be my best at everything.  I hope that I can also be that person to someone else.
