Just give up right now. In fact you have absolutely no chance at succeeding with your fitness goals!!

"So please just go home right now and devour at least 1 dozen donuts, effective immediately."

Would you pay any attention to me?

Probably not (At least I hope not)

How about if a family member or co-worker heard about your plans to eat healthier or exercise to get in better shape so you can live a better life full of energy, joy, and confidence, and they just denounce your efforts as laughable claiming you won't last a week, on your new diet. Would you listen to them about how you should live?

I once heard about an old man, a boy, and a donkey were going to town.....

The boy rode on the donkey and the old man walked beside him. As they progressed some individuals said it was horrible that the old guy was not riding the donkey and the boy was.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions.

Later, they passed some people who remarked, "What a shame! He makes that little boy walk." They then decided they both would walk.

Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So they both rode the donkey

Now they passed some people who shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.

The boy and man said they were probably right, so they decided to carry the donkey, this may remind you of your Spokane life..

As they crossed a bridge, they lost their grip on the animal, and he fell into the river and drowned. The moral of the story? If you try to please everyone, you might as well kiss your a** goodbye!

Sometimes we have the responsibility to ignore. (To reach your fitness Goals)

Please, don't let anyone (even yourself) discourage you or plant negative thoughts or ideas into your head regarding your life. Don't even entertain the idea that failure is an option for you.

The other day I ran a small little ad in the newspaper for my company.

If someone close (who I trust) came to me and said I need to get it better, I would likely listen to them.

But listen to this, some stranger actually took time to call me up, left a message and said how much my ad sucked.

Well, I immediately dismissed it as nonsense. who knows, he may have just been venting about his personal problems in his life.

There's a difference between truth and opinion. Everyone has an opinion as you know, and why would you take someone else's opinion over your own about your Life.

"For every action in your Spokane LIfe,there is an equal and opposite criticism."

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain - and most fools do." - Dale Carnegie

Ignore the foolish and only pay attention to those you care about and trust.

Just keep going through your Spokane life living at your full potential....

...and as Samuel Goldwyn said, "Don't pay any attention to the critics ' don't even ignore them."
