In a book I was reading yesterday, I came across the question: how would you spend your day if you knew that it was your last day on earth?  What an interesting question!  Mill that over while you read my answer…

5:30am  Train Cyndi  6:30am  Early morning jog with my husband to watch the sunrise.  8am  Go to my parents house for coffee, conversation, and my dad’s amazing breakfast tacos (my hubs, mom, dad, & two brothers would be there)  10am  Go to a park pavillion, where I would teach my favorite group fitness workout classes, back-to-back: kettlebell, Bootcamp, Cycling, Yogaburn, and finish with Step Aerobics.  We would be outdoors, with a steady breeze cooling us off while a stellar DJ keeps the best cardio jams pumping.  You would all be there.  We’d gather for a fantastic sweatfest followed by hugs, laughs, and stories.  2pm  Hello, WINE!  I would love to share some great wine and good food with friends and family over an afternoon picnic with great live music.  6pm  Long walk in the country, hand-in-hand, with my husband and Kokomo (our Great Dane)  7pm  Small dinner with family  9pm  Prayer, reflection, and gratitude  10pm Go to sleep in my husband’s embrace

To me, this would be the perfect day.  When thinking about it, I realized just how little the things I love have to do with material possessions, but how much my love stems from relationships and fitness (okay, and a little wine).  As an entrepreneur, sometimes, the road gets tough… so tough that I wonder, should I be doing something else?  Entrepreneurs have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable; that is far easier said than done.   It’s questions like these (what would you do if it was your last day on earth) that really  make you consider what really matters to you.  I cannot imagine loving any other job as much as I love teaching group fitness classes, personal training, and inspiring the masses to fitness!  I have conviction that I am spending my days doing what I was put on this earth to do, and that fills my heart with joy- even if it doesn’t always fill my bank account with green and gold! If what you spend your day-to-day doing is not on the last-day-of-your-life itinerary, perhaps you need a game changer.  For where your heart is, there your treasure will be, also.
