Very often in life our first encounter with something or someone becomes the determining factor as to whether or not we wish to include it or them in our lives.
As a child your parents may have taken you to a water park where you had a terrifying experience on the water slide. To this day you have avoided ever going back because your perception from that first encounter is that water parks are dangerous. Instead of LOGICALLY thinking about and CHALLENGING your belief, seeing thousands of others safely having a great time at water parks, you allow your perception from that first experience to control you, robbing you of the opportunity for fun and friendship.
Are your beliefs, perceptions about someone or something keeping you from an experience you would really like to try again? Challenge your beliefs, where did they come from? How were they developed? Are they valid? What could you be missing out on because of them? Is there something in your life you should be willing to give another try?
“Change. It has the power to uplift, to heal, to stimulate, surprise, open new doors, bring fresh experience and create excitement in life. Certainly it is worth the risk.” - Leo Buscaglia
I'd be interested to know what it is you're thinking of giving a second shot. Leave a comment, you might inspire someone else! Or send me an email at premierblueprints@gmail.com. Maybe we can figure out a way together for you to challenge your beliefs.
Word of the Week
I introduced the Word of the Week to help us improve our working knowledge of the English language. Your part if you choose to participate is to be aware of and use each word for the entire week whenever the opportunity presents itself. This way we will all increase our vocabulary and our knowledge of the English language supplying us with a very effective tool to utilize on our road to success.

te·mer·i·ty /təˈmerəti/ noun
the quality of being confident and unafraid of danger or punishment.
From a poem entitled “It’s No Surprise”
“Eyes exuding sincerity,
understanding, temerity,
is why I love you.”

I couldn't help but relate this post to my own experience with you! It took me a year to work up the courage and motivation to come to you for a nutritional and training plan. Can't wait to get started and see the exciting results! Thanks, Marshall ;)
