OH! Magazine - Australian Version November 2015 | Page 2

INSPIRATION COMES IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES The beautiful thing about inspiration is that you can find it when you least expect it. So there I was, innocently scrolling through entertaining and mind-numbing cat and dog videos on facebook, when I discover a man by the name of Tim Pickering. A bunch of my fitness industry pals had been following him and what seemed like his very serious health setback. I became intrigued and subsequently inspired by his journey from fit and healthy to near-death and I found his story so compelling that I knew I had to share it with as many people as possible. Let’s face it, we can all benefit from a little perspective in our own lives, and people like Tim possess something very special; they possess the ability and determination to do whatever it takes to cross the finish line. So no matter what your own personal finish line is, be it losing body fat, cutting back on the sugar, giving up smoking or exercising more just know that you can do it. Just make every decision in every day one that will take you closer to achieving your goal, and you will cross that finish line.
