Competition is a funny thing. Some people thrive when competing while others do horribly under the pressure of trying to win. There probably are a number of reasons for that dynamic but I personally believe competition is always a good thing. I’ve always been a somewhat of a self-starter but I tend to think I work better with or against people because I want to win. However, I think the most important thing in competition is to not get caught up in the wins and losses. I like to win but I don’t hate to lose if that makes any sense. The reason being is that I learn a lesson from either situation. For me competing at my highest level is just as important as winning. I can deal with not winning but I cannot deal with not giving 100% effort. I’ve always felt like more of a failure not giving my all as opposed to just losing. Healthy competition should bring out the best in all of us.
YPs, this is just a little something to help you stay motivated and productive. On this particular day, I had a full schedule and it felt good. It felt good to know how productive I was and it felt good to help people at the same time. The trick is to enjoy what you do. I enjoy training people and I enjoy working out for myself. YPs, you have to keep moving. I hope you get something out of this little snippet of YPDSing’s life! YPs Stand Up!!!

I’ve always had a great amount of respect for Will Smith, not only as an actor but as a person. In various interviews I’ve seen of him he always seemed like a really down to earth and positive person. It’s really no surprise that he’s as succesful as he is. This youtube clip features various [...]
Today’s challenge is another simple one. We all have heard and experienced the positive outcomes of goal-setting. Since we have been born, it has been instilled in us, to have dreams/aspirations/goals. As we grow, some of us handle this topic differently. Some keep our goals to ourselves, some share, some keep them in our heads [...]
Today’s challenge is very simple. Our lives are made up of many relationships with the people around us. We have relationships with family members, significant others, co-workers, friends, bosses, neighbors, repair people, delivery people, etc. With all of these constant relationships and different personalities in our lives, it becomes difficult to maintain healthy relationships with [...]
