Published: Nov. 8, 2016, 11:05 p.m.

Things are going to happen. Good stuff, not-so-good-stuff\u2026 life can be a dance between the two. But, as the research shows, it\u2019s not so much what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us that determines the quality of our lives.

When it comes to our health and fitness, millions of people each year raise the white flag and give up on their goals to have something greater because of something they may have never even heard about before. They give up because of their lack of emotional agility.

When you are taking action to change your body and your health, challenges will arise. As much as I don\u2019t want to say this, it\u2019s just part of the process!
