Careers
Most of us remember a coach, friend, or a parent who said "You can do it" or "Go for it, you can make it" -- and you gave it a try. Support in the form of verbal comments is necessary for all of us and especially when in mental and/or physical combat. Indeed, "combat" is a good word for the competition that we share in our challenges to develop exercise physiology as a healthcare profession. It is even ritualistic between leaders of different tribes or, if you will, organizations in this case to struggle at staying on top. This kind of thinking shouldn't come as a surprise to you or anyone who has taken the time to reflect on the subject, which reminds me of the story: "The Little Engine That Could." It is part of the American way of thinking about things. I often use the following quote in my psychophysiology course, "If I think I can, even if I don't have necessarily the ability to do it, I may actually do it. And, if I think I can't, given that I have the ability to do so, I'm likely not going to do it." Positive thinking is important to our success as exercise physiologists. There is therefore power in the statement, "Go for it." It requires dedication, hard work, and positive thinking. With a positive attitude, however difficult the obstacles, each person becomes an excellent example for others to follow. So, what does this have to do with the American Society of Exercise Physiologists? You may be a freshman in college or an exercise physiologist faculty member or a person who directs cardiac rehab or corporate wellness. The fact that you have the power of positive thinking, you can shape and influence the ASEP organization. Your optimism and can-do-spirit versus your silence can influence fellowship and mood in regards to ASEP. After all, those of and within the organization are working for you. Never is it more important than now that you witness on behalf of the ASEP infrastructure for the professionalism of exercise physiology. Your belief in ASEP, regardless of the personal and professional obstacles and the blinding silence of groupthink, elevates ASEP and its work on behalf of all members and those yet to be become members. Your beliefs can help move us forward with a united sense of destiny. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "God helps them that help themselves." Anything is possible with determination and perseverance. Think positive and join the ASEP organization, given that your thinking, dedication, and work are measures of you the person whose positive thinking confers power over the destiny of exercise physiologists. |
