There was a little boy in line behind me about five years old with his mother. My beeper sounded off. The fat man is backing up. Now that was the inspiration I needed to motivate me to put the cupcakes back up on the shelf, leave my cart at the grocery store, and try to walk home. I decided then that I needed to change.
People say change is difficult.
Change is not difficult. The easiest thing to do in the world is to change. Sustaining change is what's difficult. But I had to start, I had to walk before I could jog, before I could run, before I could run races, before I could run marathons. It was Calvin Coolidge who said, Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
