" When I identified something in my behavior that I felt was holding me back or producing undesirable results, I would realize that I had already fulfilled the awareness part of the equation. I would then objectively decide where I wanted to end up and what motions were going to get me there.

Planning a trip to Hawaii for May 2015.
The goal is to be healthy and fit for the trip.
