Now or Later

Imagine yourself shopping for that specific item, product, and/or service that you know will enhance and upgrade the quality of your life. This is something that you’ve been wanting for a long time and you keep telling yourself that the moment has come to take action and get it done.As you go about your quest to attain this highly sought-after item, product and/or service, you learn that the quality is all there; maybe it even exceeds your expectations and then some.In doing so, you become somewhat ‘uncomfortable’ in finding out that the ‘value’ of this item, product and/or service is more than you anticipated. In your mind you keep telling yourself, "WOW! This is really expensive and more than I thought! I can’t afford this even though I need this!"So you start the process of rationalizing the fact that ‘too expensive’ is the scapegoat for not following through with your ACTIONS - that’s it’s OK to put it off until you have more dollars in the bank account!

But here's the deal. If you put it off now, what’s the guarantee that you won’t put it off later on down the road? What’s the point in waiting knowing that you can 'invest' in your personal improvement – whether it’s fitness/performance, nutrition, relationships, spirituality, finances, etc.You see, we've crossed paths with many people who walk into our doorsteps at Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance. People who are seeking to make a positive change in their life. An "upgrade", as I like to call it. They're thrilled and excited to get things rollin’ and start their journey in making their goals a reality! They jump on their month trial membership and start training in addition to attaining their strategy session to make sure that what they do in & out of the gym aligns with their game plan.As the month trial gets closer to the end, the ultimate question comes up – "What's the plan once your trial is up?"Do you continue on the path you’ve been on for the last few weeks? Or do you regress back to old habits and do the things you were doing before? Back to the days of stagnation, non-progression and back to boredom?

For some it comes as a surprise when they realize that the 'price' is far more than they expected for a 'gym membership'!The way we rationalize this is by making it known that our programs & services are far more than just about 'price'! For us price is defined as “an unwelcome experience, event, or action involved as a condition of achieving a desired end”. In other words, we see it as a negative consequence, sacrificial toxicity where you fend off the good things in life, or a penalty of sorts that works against the true nature of how things should be.The real question that we ask in terms of the realization of being stuck comes to this: "What's the 'price' or cost of staying where you’re currently at?"Knowing that you aspire to become a better version of yourself, what’s your strategy that will take you to where you want to be? To the end result you seek?Think about it!How much are you willing to stay where you’re at knowing that there’s always the potential to fork out your hard earned cash for doctor’s office visits, medications, useless infomercial products that guarantee a quick weight loss solution – pills, lotions, fancy colorful overhyped exercise DVD’s, etc.?If you’re a ‘price shopper’ I can honestly say that Vigor Ground is definitely not the place for you.However, if you’re shopping for ‘RESULTS’ then look no further! Welcome to Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance!Earlier I mentioned that our programs and services are more than just about ‘price’! This in fact is a true statement. I can also say with complete confidence that we’re not just selling ‘products and services’ for the sake of making money! Far from it!What we do is enhance, promote, implement and inspire ‘a desired feeling’ that everyone wants. The feeling of belonging; to become 1% better each day than the previous one; to be part of something bigger than just themselves; the ability to improve any and all major & minor facets of life; improve self-confidence and self-esteem; to feel energized and motivated thus producing a euphoric aura where the impossible becomes possible; to inspire GREATNESS!

This is the success blueprint in attaining your goals and making them a reality!All in all, it all comes down you making you look, feel, and perform better! Not just for one day, but for each day in which you’re given the greatest gift – the breath of life!The best part of this is that these feelings are the result of the programs and services that compliment and align with each persons “Point B” – aka, their desired end result!It also aligns with one of our Core Values – ‘It’s All About Feeling’. First impressions are so important and they can make or break your business, reputation and/or demeanor. People will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel!So what can you do you take MASSIVE ACTION right now to help you get started on your journey of success?Here are a few things that you can start doing immediately:

1. Start being your genuine self and do it proudly

Trying to be anyone/someone else is a waste of the person you are. Be yourself – plain and simple. Embrace the individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else. Be the person you know yourself to be – the best version of you – on your terms. Above all, be true to YOU, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.

2. Be honest with yourself about everything

Be honest about what’s right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest about what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest with every aspect of your life, always. Because you are the one person you can forever count on. Search your soul, for the truth, so that you truly know who you are. Once you do, you’ll have a better understanding of where you are now and how you got here, and you’ll be better equipped to identify where you want to go and how to get there.

3. Start facing your problems head on

It isn’t your problems that define you, but how you react and recover from them. Problems will not disappear unless you take action. Do what you can, when you can, and acknowledge what you’ve done. It’s all about taking small steps in the right direction, inch by inch. These inches count as they add up to yards and miles in the long run.

4. Start spending time with the right people

These are the people you enjoy, who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways. They are the ones who make you feel vibrant & alive. If they tend to steer you away from the path you desire, don’t appreciate you for the person you are, or introduce any type of toxicity into your life that goes against the grain of your succession plan, you may have to consider removing these people from your life! Is it easy to do? Hardly! Is it necessary? Only if you plan to move onward and upward.

5. Start making your own happiness a priority

If you don’t value yourself, look out for yourself, and stick up for yourself, then you’re sabotaging yourself. Remember, it IS possible to take care of your own needs while simultaneously caring for those around you. And once your needs are met, you will likely be far more capable of helping those who need you most.As I said above, ask yourself the question that I know will make you think about the changes and upgrades you need to start making/doing in your life.

“What’s the price or cost of staying where you’re currently at?”Without the proper guidance, support and/or expertise, do you honestly think that things will get better and easier later on down the road?If you desire to make the proper life upgrades, make a game plan, seek the answers you’re looking for and promise yourself to always find a solution to the challenges, roadblocks and obstacles that life will present along the way.You can start doing the things you need to do…...either Now or Later!Ultimately, the decision is entirely up to you!
