Network Magazine autumn 2015 | Page 4

What’s so great about inspiration? The Network team was recently asked what ‘inspiring greatness’ meant to us, personally. On the surface it seems like a relatively simple question, but when you recollect times that you’ve heard people share their amazing feats of strength and endeavour in the face of adversity, have you proceeded to emulate those achievements? Quite possibly not. Inspirational people may be daunting – how are we mere mortals supposed to achieve what they have achieved? Maybe that’s looking at things the wrong way. It’s not necessarily about replicating the same scale of achievements, it’s about being inspired to be greater versions of ourselves – be it in big ways or small. If listening to a busy mum recalling the tremendous physical and mental hurdles she had to overcome in order to scale Mount Kinabalu can ignite a spark in us to face our own personal challenges head on, then we are on the path to achieving our own ‘greatness’, whether that be running a half marathon or taking the leap and starting our own PT business. And perhaps, in turn, friends and family, clients and colleagues, will take NETWORK’S CORE PURPOSE ‘To inform, inspire and educate our members to be the best they can be’ Download the Network magazine App to your iPad at fitnessnetwork.com.au/mag-app inspiration from our actions and strive to achieve their own great things.
