Message From My Unborn Child.

I'm going to be a father.

"Wow!"
"Exciting!"
"Surreal!"

I know, tell me about it.  I can't believe it myself.  What an emotional journey.  And I'm getting to experience all of those "you'll never fully understand these feelings until you're a parent" feelings for the first time.  It's nice to finally understand what parents have been talking about over the last 16 years of my adult life. . .  but I digress.

Leave it to my unborn child, womb age 19 weeks, to leave me a message after the completion of our first sonogram.  (Did I mention yet that that was amazing?  The child is well developed (BIG feet!) and has a strong heart -- 154 beats per minute of flawless pumping action!. . . but I digress again.)

My wife and I had just finished our sonogram when I turned around to see this on the wall:

Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.

Truer words may never been spoken by a tinier person, regarding life or, of course, personal training.    What's your mindset as you begin your fitness program? 
Have your thoughts become tangible words (written or spoken) that you can look at/listen to and use as motivation to reach your desired outcome?
Have you taken action, and given those actions time to develop into lifelong habits that will provide a healthy body and strong character?
Heed the advice of my unborn child, and commit to building a physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually stronger you -- today.
