Friday Inspiration - The Faith to Endure

From Team Beachbody - Click here for resources, tools and information to help you to reach your health, fitness and positive lifestyle goals!

I want to share two stories with you today. One is about a 57 year old man who made a commitment to make a difference after his wife passed away and he became a single dad with 3 young children and the other is about not letting anyone else pull you down when you are trying to make positive changes in your life.

At 57 years old, Terry Hitchcock wasn’t what you’d call athletic. No one thought that his heart and joints could take endurance-testing activities. However, in 1996, he embarked on an adventure to run 75 marathons in 75 consecutive days. He got the idea from a Canadian man who lost his leg to cancer and did something extraordinary in 1980.

Years later, Terry was a family man with a wonderful wife named Sue. They had the classic American dream until a diagnosis of breast cancer shattered that dream. When Sue died, Terry was thrust into single parenthood – cooking, clothing and caring for his three young kids. Times were tough, and Terry’s eyes were opened to the plight of single parents. He had to do something.

Here is Terry's story - "My Run: Terry Hitchcock and the Faith to Endure"



A little story about crabs in a basket from from Patty Sweeney Corrigan on Facebook

If you place a sole crab in a stock pot and heat it, it will readily attempt to climb out, it will escape, and potentially achieve freedom! However, if you place two or three crabs in the pot, every time one of them gets to the top and is close to escaping, the other crabs will pull it back down. They will go through this exercise in self destructive behavior over and over until they decide that it is a futile effort to even attempt to escape. They break each other’s will to succeed. Unfortunately, many people are like that too. You have to beware of people around you that will try to keep you from achieving great heights. The fact is, if you are considering doing something different, like eating right, exercising and being healthy, you are on the verge of doing something that most overweight American’s dream about, but won’t actually DO. When you succeed in changing your lifestyle and tell your friends and family that you are about to “escape the basket”, they will inevitably try to pull you back in, with negative comments (jealousy)….with them into their complacent, sedentary lifestyle. It’s not because they don’t love you or want the best for you, but they are scared of taking the same step you took. Captivity can become an addiction. It becomes a way of life, a very comfortable little existence with the rest of “the crabs”. What I’m saying is, as you read this, if you’ve ever wondered what life “outside the basket” looked like, take a climb to the top and look around, if you like what you see, don’t let anyone pull you back down! You can achieve your goal of being HEALTHY
