What is going on, everyone?

Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all, happy podcasts.

I am your coaching host, Josh, here with his co-host and co-coach, KG, and I'm in the house.

And we're fired up.

You know, we promised a big episode today.

Obviously, hopefully those of you that heard about this episode coming on a Monday got fired up and ready for it and we're ready to deliver.

Originally we said 10 quotes, but Kyle's like, nah, we're over deliverers. We over promise and over deliver. And that's like something we both stand by. So we actually got 12 of our favorite quotes. and every one of these quotes is like a punch you in the gut kind of quote because you're just going to need some time to be like dang that's a powerful quote to think about to store in your bank like these are just going to help you take off into the new year before we jump into it you know if you've never actually taken the time to leave a review for the podcast that really would mean a lot we want to get over a thousand this year on Spotify it helps bump bump us up in the rankings takes two seconds so if you could do that that mean the world if your iTunes you can write one leave one there that helps us out a ton as well so thank you to everyone who takes the time to do that and if you want to be a real superstar real MVP and you want to make me and kyle smile uh ear to ear on new year's here or just this new year rather. If you could share this episode to your story so other people can find it, you'd be amazed by you sharing that you could bring one person to fitness, health and happiness and to help elevate their journey and give them the opportunity to feel and do their best. So if you love this podcast, it really means the world if you can share it and help other people find it. So thank you so much for everyone who takes the time to do that. I know a lot of people just listen to ask someone else to do it. But for those of you that just do it and help us out, me and Kyle from the bottom of our hearts, just want to say thank you for helping us grow and being an amazing listener. But we're going to jump into this. I'm going to start it off with a quote from

Nelson Mandela. I don't think I actually included this one in 2021. So it's a little bit of a bonus.

But we're starting fresh in 2022. And I heard this today and I just loved it so much. So the quote is

there is no passion to be found playing small in settling for a life that is less than one you are capable of living

and this one talk about punching the gut i was like oh my goodness you know like the worst thing ever

and you know Kyle always will bring up that uh you know example they say you know is gravestones and

funerals are just um you know it's so much sad or knowing that there's probably a lot of

people there that never got to live their dreams, right? Like when you want to say in my life, I did everything I want to do, I went after it. I gave it my all, right? And in this actually speech I heard today from Denzo Washington, he was saying how like the last thing he wants in his life is to be you know buried and to see all the

different avenues of what of his life could have been all of his different opportunity his

potential to be an actor to be a speaker to be a motivator and you know just to be laying there saying

i never achieved any of that so you know he talked a lot about the concept of accepting failure

and failing forward you know understanding that failure is part of the journey but when we do fail we want to learn from it we want to use it as a position to grow and we need to not be afraid to take chances and go for a life that is big and like that's why this quote really hit so once again there's no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life

that is less than one you're capable of living. Dude, I'm glad you started with that one because I'm already fired up and we have 11 quotes to go. Let's go. It's number two. This is the one that I live by. This is the one that I'm going to get tattooed. This is the Kyle quote. This is the Kyle quote. I've been saying it for, I don't know, maybe seven years now. And any time someone

would say, give me a quote, this is the Kyle quote. This is the Kyle quote. I've been saying it for, I don't know, maybe seven years now.

And any time someone would say, give me a quote, this is the one that's always come to the top of my head. It wasn't created by me, although I wish it was. You can have results or excuses, not both. It's just, it's so simple. There's really no explanation needed. You know, whenever I decide to tell myself, you know, once again, I'm a human, there's times where I'm going to sleep in, maybe take a day off from the gym.

I listen to tell myself, you know, once again, I'm a human. There's times where I'm going to sleep in, maybe take a day off from the gym. I listen to my body. Let's get that. I just want to make that no one first before someone takes this to the extreme. But at the same time, there's a lot of times I have to ask myself, okay, which one do I want? And unfortunately, in my opinion, you can't actually have both, at least if you want to do things really, really well, which I assume most people do, especially if you're listening to a fitness podcast. So let it sink in. Think about it. Like these quotes that we've chosen, for me personally, these are ones that I live by and that like every single time I think of it, it kind of gives me goosebumps. So you can have results or excuses, not both. Which one do you choose? Let's get it.
