The New Attitude

Over the past years I never really had what you call “ a positive attitude”. My number one problem was self confidence.

Being so obese at such a young age can potentially ruin a persons self esteem for life.
It’s been known to happen in multiple cases. I refuse to be one of them. Over the years I was picked on, pushed, shoved, and told I would amount to be nothing.

This Blog will help let me publicize my recent accomplishments and those yet to come.

I want to give inspiration to everyone who sees this.

Now about attitude. If there’s one thing the human has 100% control over it’s what you think. You can minimize dramatically how many bad days you have by simply waking up and saying to your self “this is going to be an amazing day”. I have made it a habit to do this my self and I can tell you it works. Attitude is simply telling your self “I won’t let this bother me” in a case of a negative event. Or finding the good in negative is always a sure way to help you out.

I have a question for you… Can you name me ONE highly successful person you know, or have read about who has a negative attitude? Good luck!

It’s really the major difference between the people you love being and those you don’t. Take a look at their attitude and tell me what you see.

Hope this helps!

First Blog

Hello everyone! My name is Nicholas and I am a 21 year old soon to be college senior. I have created this Blog for a variety of reasons I feel are very important to me. I also feel and hope that this Blog will not only give people motivation but provide them with life long learning’s. Through this Blog I hope for people to connect, grow, and begin to help/influence others.
My field of interest involved fitness with a main focus in nutrition.

I am currently an Exercise Science Major at SRU and will be graduating in about a year. I feel I can relate to a lot of people that would need my help in this industry. I have lost over 100lbs and have had a tummy tuck surgery. I am currently training to compete in a bodybuilding show in a year. I have had problems with about every eating disorder and have finally made balance in my life. I understand the pain, and hardship that tends to follow with feeling down on your self. I have been made fun of, picked on, punched, and bullied around a majority of my young life.

Once getting into fitness (it was football for me) I realized a passion for it. I would workout for hours (which is bad) but I couldn’t get enough. I started to read and read eventually being lead to SRU through a football scholarship. Through high school I turned into one of the better athletes which was one major breakthrough. Now at SRU I have turned into one of the people who folks ask advice from and it makes me feel great.
I needed a lot of development through college. I was partying very often, not studying, and being the stereotypical college freshmen. Years later I have finally picked up what I like to call success habits and have been growing on them. I still need a ton of development, but don’t we all?

I will end this here and will be posting every Friday. Feel free to comment and ask questions. I love to help people and will in any way I can.

“Take every failure and find a way to create success by learning from it.”
