This is the first official entry in the NPF blog.  As the founder of NPF, this will be my personal journal to share with the NPF community my thoughts and reflections about becoming your personal best.  Keep in mind that this is a new and evolving process and that I am eager to use this space to respond to YOUR questions, comments, complaints and concerns.  So let me know what is on your mind.

Today's topic is DEDICATION.  I believe dedication to be a key component to any achievement.   No matter what you do you need dedication to be the best.  Personally, my life really started to turn around once I dedicated myself to becoming the best personal trainer that I could be.  Soon I wanted more and dedicated myself to starting NoPayneFitness.   At first it was just a dream.  It was something that my friends, clients and coworkers grew tired of hearing me rave about.  But with each long winded rant I was building something, courage.  Because we all need the necessary courage to TAKE THAT STEP away from what we know and enter the unknown to pursue our dreams.

It takes a great deal of courage to start a fitness program.  But it is an essential step to being a better you and empowering your mind and body to achieve your dreams.  My challenge to each of you is to search your soul for the courage to be your personal best and the DEDICATION to stay the course....dp
