Sticking With It

In my search for people who I can help regain their strength, health, and confidence, you may hear me often refer to the idea of “getting back on track.”

That’s because many people start a fitness program, and stop.?

And now they need to start again … which actually is a lot harder than if they’d just persevered and not stopped in the first place.

Maybe they made great progress, but it wasn’t fast enough for them. Or they chose the wrong trainer/program and didn’t make any progress at all.

Maybe how they define progress is simply all wrong.

Whatever the case, there are plenty of things we have to do every day. But we all get an opportunity to choose the things we want to do.

When it comes to achieving a stronger and healthier body and mind, the whole key can be expressed in one word.

Perseverance.

The decision to stick with it … no matter what.

The grit to keep going when things get a little uncomfortable, or when obstacles come your way.

Let’s face it … nothing in life worth having is easy all the time.

There will be challenges along the way. Embrace them, and be grateful for the fact that they’re necessary in order for you to achieve your goals.

Seeing those challenges as “the price of admission” has always helped me. Knowing that I’m willing to do what others won’t makes the process more meaningful and the goal that much more important.

The longer you spend dwelling on failure, the more it distracts you from the opportunity at hand.

And in fact … if you’ve been reading my newsletter for a significant length of time … you understand that there’s no such thing as failure. That’s just the meaning that we’ve chosen to give the experience.

Embrace the challenges and don't beat yourself up over the failures.

Whatever you do, don't give up.

Your partner in health,
