When managing to obtain a goal in life whether it is academic, sporting, health-related or something else, it is worth showcasing the achievement as it is a good way to remember how much hard work, effort, time and determination you put in. It can also act as an inspiration to others as it shows them that with the right attitude, focus and work ethic, you can achieve things and ultimately improve your life.
A great way to showcase and remember your achievements
My Aunt has recently been on a quest to lose weight. She went to one of those slimming classes each week but had little confidence in her ability to make it work. She stated that she would probably lose a few pounds in the first couple of months but that she would ultimately put them back on in the future. You might think that this is a negative attitude but she felt this way as she had attended similar classes on a number of occasions in the past and this had been the end result.
The person running the class marked down her weight as 18 stones and 7 pounds at the outset. After seven weeks she had managed to lose a stone. At this stage she was presented with her first certificate as you receive one when you lose each stone. And twelve weeks later she had managed to lose another stone. To say that she was happy would be an understatement. I am pleased to report that another six months later she is now down to 14 stones and 2 pounds.
She was presented with another certificate after losing two, three and four stones. She has decided to frame each one and now has them displayed for all to see in her hallway. Every time she or anyone else enters the house, they are able to view the certificates. My Aunt is very proud of what she has achieved but is determined to continue to lose more weight as she now feels like she knows exactly what she’s doing to make it happen.
Just like with many other families no doubt, there are quite a few other people in my family who are not happy with their weight. Seeing how well my aunt has done and seeing the certificates in her hallway which show just how well she has done as the latest one states that she has lost four stones, has been a massive inspiration for some of them. Five additional members of my family have now started to attend the same or similar slimming classes and each one of them has lost over two stones as well. And each one of them now has a framed certificate hanging proudly in their home. At this rate, we will become the fittest family in the UK!
My Aunt is not only proud of what she has achieved for herself but is also proud of the impact it has had on others. By proudly displaying her certificate in her hallway is likely to prove to be an inspiration to many others in the future as well.
