When you imagine your future, whether career, sports, marriage, house, retirement or anything else, why not start with amazing?!
Why start with just a little bit better than right now? When you can dream, dream big! So when you dream about your life, dream as massively big as you can imagine!
Then work back a little and create the plan you’ll need to achieve this amazing. Then, immediately, start working a few minutes, hours, days, and weeks on those plans until you achieve amazing!
Walk a lot more than you do. Walk with your spouse, friend, colleague, other family members and even alone too.
The exercise is excellent. The health benefits are brilliant. The clarity of mind it can bring is conclusive.
Somedays listen to music. Other days listen to a Podcast or a book. The opportunities to engage are numerous.
Make this a daily habit of 15-90 minutes per day. Start your next walk within 24 hours!
Are you really putting the effort in? We often kid ourselves that we’re working hard, when we’re just busy. Or we think we’re eating well and going to the gym, but we’re not actually getting the results we wanted.
Spending is another area we let ourselves off when we’re not on track.
So face the brutal reality and put the intense effort in, if you actually want the result. You can’t do 3 hours of work in a 16 hour day and expect exceptional results. You need to sacrifice, focus and commit.
Get a real target, and a real plan, to get there. Then, put the real effort in and go achieve it!
Life is simple if you follow the formula.
Eat simple and move. Provide value to others. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
If you want to get better, it takes effort. Consistency is pretty important.
If you want it bad enough, you’ll sacrifice comfort and put in the work you know you should do but don’t really want to do.
Stop hoping for an easier way. There isn’t one. Do the work or stay the same.
Drink lots of water every day.
Drink a glass as soon as you wake up to wash out the digested and to hydrate from 6-9 hours sleeping.
Stop drinking at 7pm. That way you won’t wake up as much at night, or at all !
Don’t let yourself off easy. Push yourself to reach your stated goals. Get up an hour earlier. Say no to the night of fun and stay in and plan your week and save your money.
Do the right thing. Not the most pleasurable immediate thing. Pleasure doesn’t mean you’ll be happy. And often pleasure comes with some corresponding pain – drinking with hangover, speeding with ticket, entertainment with loss of purpose.
Make yourself the best person you could imagine. Push yourself past the pain, the sacrifice, the complaining and the challenges. Become Unstoppable.
You are either improving or getting worse. Nothing is neutral, at least not for long. You are either gaining weight or losing weight. You are becoming more fit or less fit. The relationship you’re in is either getting stronger or weaker.
You decide whether you are working on getting better each day or slipping behind each day.
Yes, strive!
You have more energy and time when you’re in your teens and 20’s. Travel, explore, be serious about a sport. Do things that you won’t be able to easily do by the age of 60 or 70.
You have more brain power throughout your life and might notice a decline by 65 or 75. Use it while you can.
Yes, sometimes you really just don’t feel like it. You could be very comfortable. Or perhaps you are ‘exhausted’.
Well, this is when you prove to yourself that you have got what it takes to succeed.
Do some push ups or jumping jacks, get out of bed, stand up, breathe deeply or simply carry on. You’ll need to push through to get it done!
