As Thanksgiving approaches, it is a great time to reflect back on the past 6 months to a year and reflect on all the great things that have happened to us. You might be someone going through tough times right now, but even those who are going through tough times have things to be thankful for.
I have been called by some, a forever optimist and been asked if I ever get sad. The answer is yes I do, but I try not to stay in that place of sadness. Just remember, there is someone else out there in the world that has it worse than you, and life has its seasons, and everyone will experience some winters, but spring and summer is just around the corner!
I am asking you to do me a favor and reply to this post and give me 5 things that you are thankful for. This will not only help you realize all the great things that you have, but will also be an encouragement to everyone who reads the blog.
I will lead by example and give you 5 things I am thankful for!
#1 I am thankful that I have a career that I am so deeply passionate about, in which I get up each morning at 5 AM excited for the day, knowing that I just might be that one bright spot in a person’s day, or knowing that I have had an impact in a person’s life by helping them get in great shape. I am thankful for the times I lay in bed thinking of the next program or idea that I can create to help more and more people get in shape.
#2 I am thankful for a family and parents that speak the truth and isn’t afraid of offending me. (my mom has told me when she doesn’t think a blog post of mine is appropriate 
) I am also thankful that they support me in my endevours and support me as I take the path less traveled.
#3 I am thankful for a body that can take me where I want to go and allow me to experience all that this great world has to offer. I am thankful for the enormous amount of knowledge I have been able to learn about the body the past 8 years and how I am able to apply it to myself.
#4 I am thankful for my spirituality that gives me a deeper and more lasting perspective on life on earth.
#5 I am thankful for everyone of my clients that I get to see each week. They motivate me, inspire me, and keep me pumped up and encouraged! I look forward to so much more with everyone!
It was hard just to narrow it down to 5, but now it is your turn! Reply to this message and share what you are thankful for!
Keep moving,
Dustin Maher
