“To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.” —Robert Louis StevensonWelcome to New Self Renewal Center’s blog. It’s my pleasure to begin this endeavor with a couple of quotes that work well to explain both why New Self exists and why our staff felt now was a good time to start this blog.
For those of you who are already part of this community or have had the opportunity to visit, you know that we are big proponents of helping people determine and achieve their goals, to help them be what they are capable of becoming. This occurs in a variety of ways. Some join us for obvious reasons: to exercise and take better care of themselves in a positive, caring environment with others who have the same goal. Others join us looking for the inspiration they need to begin a journey of wellness. Those of us who have children learn to let go of the guilt we might experience in being away from them in order to take the time to become better people, and therefore, better parents. Whatever the reason, those who have found their way to New Self are all on a path toward becoming just that: new (and better) selves. Stevenson would be so proud of us.
“Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.” —Og Mandino
As the community continues to grow and we learn about and from each other, it has become clear to us that the culture at New Self is very much one of learning. I know that I have learned things that have benefitted me both professionally and as a human being trying to be the best wife, mother and friend I can be. In the weeks and months ahead, you will find a variety of topics among our blog entries, from fitness and nutrition to parenting tips to general observations about life. Oh, and there will be more quotes, too. We know you wouldn’t expect anything less! On behalf of our staff, I hope you enjoy the blog. Please let us know if you have a topic you would like to see covered. As always, we love to get your feedback.
