Here's a question to challenge you this week...

What are your thoughts on failure?  In a recent interview with Piers Morgan, Steve Harvey, an accomplished comedian, actor and author, described how failure can be one of the best ways to learn in life and that it challenges us to grow.  Sometimes life hands you a mediocre or a seemingly epic fail.  What's great is that we still have the choice to learn from the experience and re-think what our approach would be for the next time around.  Begin to view failure as a positive thing and build your successes upon them, one at a time.  This creates a huge sense of empowerment and a slight superhero feeling of "I can do anything!"...because you can, and you will! 

Push-ups are my prime, fitness related example of this.  I never used to include them in my workouts because they were hard to perform well and I figured I could get by with other exercises.  Over the last year I've been studying more about Bodyweight Training and along with that comes...(drumroll)...my new-found love, push-ups!  After learning and figuring out new ways to keep push-ups interesting, challenging and fun, I, as well as many of you, now couldn't imagine a workout without them...push-ups are the best!
