Ready to start?

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great”- Zig Ziglar

I owe a couple of really great people full credit for this blog post. I had such great intentions of writing every week, then I went to the South Pacific, school started for the kids again and I started taking 2 Masters  classes so the blog fell by the wayside. Has this happened to you? Is there stuff you want to do, but there is always something in the way, something pulling your attention or something stopping you? That is why I absolutely love the quote above by Zig Ziglar…”You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great”. Only by starting will we truly know how great we can be.

Today is a great day to start. Why wait till next week, till next month, till next year? Are you looking to start exercising, start making better choices, start eating better, start getting more sleep or start working on stressful relationships?

Clearly,  I am not the only one who needs a kick in the pants to get started. We all do from time to time and having a great community of people around us is essential.

So….Don’t Wait!!

Time to start being great.

Look for another blog post this week about stress and the horrible effects it has on our body as well as its risks to our health.

Live Well,

Hi, my name is Angela Alfaro MD and by training I am a family physician, by profession a doctor, teacher, listener and counselor and by passion a wife, a mother of 4 very active children and a wellness advocate.

Like many of you I have struggled with finding my passion and purpose in life, you may think that is odd, considering I am a doctor, but it is very true.  We all struggle and have ups and downs but we all are working toward something. There are many sites on finding your passion and happiness and I will refer to those from time to time, this blog is not intended to replace those. This blog comes after years of thinking, worrying, writing and worrying some more, but not doing. Now is the time to do.

My passion for writing this blog comes from many experiences as a physician, as a mother trying to teach her children healthy habits and as a woman getting older and appreciating how important healthy aging is.
