One Size Does NOT Fit All

It's simple to understand what's meant by "one size does NOT fit all" especially if we think about clothing, but the reality is that it's true in all aspects of our lives.  Whether it's a fitness and nutrition, education or personal relationships, I've had to face the reality that what works for others doesn't always work for me. Don't get me wrong, I think I can learn a great deal by finding out what works for others.  I cherish all the things I've learned from others, from mentors, friends, coworkers, strangers, etc. But I have to realize when it doesn't work for me, it's time to move on and get the advice from another source.  I also need to embrace what works for me when other's make suggestions for "improvement" based on their experience.  Sometimes the people trying to help are the biggest deterrents to our success.  I've been reflecting on what has worked for me in the past concerning my goal to loose weight and as so I'm writing today to remind myself..."Keep it moving, for without movement, there is no progress."
