Simply put, we all have incredible skills, talents and abilities that WILL allow us to reach success. The questions is, will you take action to not only discover what these gifts are, but will you use them?

Team Hoyt is one of the most amazing endurance athletes I have ever heard of. In 2011, they completed their 1,000th race (6 of those were Ironman triathlons)! Can you imagine - 1,000 races? And oh, did I mention that this son and father team have overcome some of the greatest mental and physical challenges known to any athlete? Rick was diagnosed as a young child as a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. In a triathlon, Dick will pull Rick in a boat with a bungee cord attached to a vest around his waist and to the front of the boat for the swimming stage. For the biking stage, Rick will ride a special two-seater bicycle, and then Dick will push Rick in his custom made running chair (for the running stage)

Visit their story HERE. At age 70, this team is still going strong as they continue to inspire and motivate people around the world. CONGRATS TEAM HOYT AND THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO INSPIRE US WITH YOUR STORY!

So here is my point. If Team Hoyt can accomplish what is unimaginable to most of us, YOU can have success in your life too. They key is intentional action. Continue to hope, dream, and wish, but remember, intentional action will take you to where you want to go.

So can you do it? YES, you can. Find people who are having the type of success you want to have and take steps to LEARN how they did it, then take steps to set your goals, and then go for it. Here is a great example of how to find your passion (click HERE).

Short and sweet message- if you want change, MOVE it.

Question: What ONE step can you take today to move you towards where you want to go?

Live Beyond Awesome.

HA! I agree Ann! I look at Team Hoyt and think man, they are the real deal and truly if they can do it, there is no excuse for me either. Thanks for reading Ann!
