Either Keep Moving or Fall Down
We all have goals. Whether your goal is to get a degree, climb a mountain, become a millionaire, complete a marathon or to lose weight, achieving ones goals are rarely easy, and when they are easy, the goal is usually not worthwhile. Quite often to reach those goals we need to really challenge ourselves, push beyond our comfort zone. And that's exactly why most people do not reach their goals.
So I ask you, are you challenging yourself? If not, ask yourself why not. Are you one of those people that wait for New Years to set a new challenge for yourself? Whether it's fat loss, fitting into those old jeans or anything else you want to accomplish in life, why wait? Why not start today?
The truth is, most of us will never know our true capacity for achievement because we never challenge ourselves to perform at our best every day. We don't push ourselves like we must to achieve the goals we want to achieve. This truism becomes apparent when you are presented with an opportunity that really interests you. It's the people that "want it bad enough" and consistently work toward their goals day after day that are successful.
There's a wonderful story about a young man who wanted an interview with a famous guru. When they met, the man asked, "How can I find wisdom?" Without a word, the guru led the young man to a nearby lake and pushed his head under water. After the man thrashed and fought for a moment, the guru let him up, where he immediately gasped for air. The guru then said, "When you desire wisdom as badly as you wanted that breath of air, you'll find it."
When a goal or opportunity really interests you, no matter how busy you may be, somehow you will find the time to pursue it. When you want it as "bad as air", you will achieve it. Conversely, duties that have little appeal for you are easily postponed and eventually forgotten.
Busy people are not procrastinators.
Busy people do not wait until "tomorrow" to get started.
Busy people have a goal and go after it with vigor, enthusiasm and consistency.
Busy people know that life, as John David Wright once observed about business, "is like riding a bicycle. Either you keep moving, or you fall down." The most effective and successful people have a sense of urgency. They set deadlines and force themselves to establish priorities.
Is fat loss a true priority for you? Is living a healthier life, having more energy and living longer a priority for you?
Fat loss doesn't usually require a strict deadline, but set a realistic goal for yourself today. Set a weekly, monthly and annual goal. Measure your progress regularly. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish in a short time-if that's all the time you have.
