“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve” – W. Clement Stone
Like any learned skill, there are certain basics that must be mastered first. The very bedrock upon which all health and fitness achievement rests are thoughts. Everything man-made in the world or any action you’ve taken in the past all started with a thought. There is not one man-made object or goal that didn’t start as a thought in someone’s head that was then made into reality. Your toaster, your TV, your automobile, your desire for better health.
A single thought ultimately transformed into physical reality.
In order to achieve any health or fitness goal you must start with this basic concept; thoughts are things. Thoughts are the foundation upon which you build the framework for attainment of your goal. Every thought has a physical manifestation in our bodies; every thought produces physical substances called neuro-transmitting enzymes that have instant effects on how we feel and who we are at the cellular level.
Don’t believe me? Think of biting into a big, juicy lemon or think about fingernails slowly running down a chalk board and tell me you didn’t have an immediate, physical response.
Or how about a thought that changed the world?
Every day, thousands of times a day, all over the world people fly from destination to destination. It’s amazing that a person can step into a device that lifts them off the ground and flies through the air at great speed sometimes over great distances safely carrying them to their destination in a matter of minutes or hours! Only a bit over a hundred years ago that would have been considered impossible or a miracle. Yet it happens every day today and it started with a thought in someone’s head that man could fly. On December 17th, 1903 the thought that man had had for generations to fly, became reality.
That is the power of thoughts!
If you can have that kind of immediate response from such a simple thought, just imagine what you can accomplish with a focused, burning desire backed by faith and persistence!
Life isn’t fair or normal, there’s just life. But that should be a comforting thought. If life were fair all things would be equal and all people would be equal. The logical conclusion is that there could be no social movement up or down, no bettering of yourself nor worsening, no getting healthier, just stagnation. Because life isn’t fair it means you have the ability to control whether you improve your life or make it worse but at least you have the ability to make change.
What about external influences which you have no control over? Say your significant other is killed in a car accident or you become paraplegic in a skiing accident. The list could go on and on. But there is one thing you have total control over.
Viktor E. Frankl, a concentration camp survivor, put it best in his book “Man’s Search for Meaning,”
“The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose ones attitudes in any given circumstance.”
The only absolute freedom you have is choosing how you react to life. And how you choose starts with a thought.
Who you are right now is the sum total of what you’ve thought about up to this moment. If you’re not satisfied with who you are right now, the good news is who you will be from now on is entirely up to you. Change your thoughts and you can start changing yourself. If you want to lose weight or be more fit, it all starts with a thought.

If I had your qualifications and interests I think I would consider teaching. You might be able to do some Physical Education work with troubled kids. A different approach might be to write a sort of loose essay describing what you consider to be perfect activities (not a perfect job) for yourself. With that essay in hand you could do a bit of polishing and it may lead you to the perfect career. It might also show you something you hadn't considered but would be great for you if you only took two or three more classes.
Beyond that I am drawing a blank. I hope my suggestions help. Good Luck.
you are beautiful
this video was great. thanks
It’s great that you exercise and eat so healthy, which is obviously something we all need to do but, if you are 5′5 and weight 100 lbs you are wayyyyyy under what you should weigh. For someone who is 5 ft or under, 100 lbs would be more healthy. But..I’m glad you are healthy anyway.
Physical Education major covers all that material. Also, athletic training is a good major as well. They both cover a lot of biology (lower level courses), kenesiology, anatomy, physiology, etc. To become a trainer, you will need to take an aditional "class" (it's like a week or something) and then pass a training test (24 hour fitness will have info on that). Other careers are of course, PE teaching, athletic trainer (leaning toward medical/healing injuries/etc), physical therapist, personal trainer, that's about all I can think of at the moment. There are a ton or resources out there, it would not take a too much research to find them. Good luck. (You could always mix the business and health professions in some creative way. You could be a pioneer!
Again, good luck!
