In last week's edition of "Career Girl", a column dedicated to inspiring and educating professionals about the "real world," author Andrea Mullan interviewed Fitness Guru, Tanya Becker. Tanya, along with her business partner, created Physique 57. "Physique 57 is a ballet inspired workout that incorporates cardio, strength training, stretching and recovery. It is largely credited with launching the barre fitness obsession!"
The article made it easy for readers to relate to Tanya's initial apprehensions and to celebrate her HUGE successes. In addition, for fitness freaks like me, this edition of Career Girl, triggered my interest in Physique 57 (I purchased my copy of Tanya's book late last week).
Although discovering a new fitness outlet via this article was amazing, learning about Tanya's definition of failure was truly the best part of the documented interview. Like all of us, Tanya has experienced a fair share of disappointments but she has never considered them negatives. Instead she was quoted saying:
"The fear of not trying and settling was greater than the insecurities of possible failure. As Thomas Edison said, "I have never failed. I just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
I hope that such a comment will inspire you to ALWAYS keep on trying!
