Sometimes we think we’re cheating the system or successfully avoiding the work we know we need to do.
In reality, we are only cheating ourselves.
No sacrifice, no commitment, no good results.

Your discipline will determine what level of success you are going to have.
If you don’t discipline your mind and body, to develop great habits, that you consistently do, every day, then you will have exactly what you have now, but you’ll be a year older.
Ignore it for a year or two or ten. Nobody will take any notice. You’ll be the same. And it’s only you to blame.
Instead, get determined. Stop talking. Start doing. Get results. Feel good. Your discipline will determine the outcome you’re going to have.
Your results tell us everything we need to know.
When the sh*t is about to hit the fan, and preferably well before, get some help. Help will come in a myriad of ways, when you start seeking it. Seek and you shall find.
Even if you’re uncomfortable, go find it. You will then shift from Uncomfortable to Unstoppable.
Begin with the end in mind. In your final days, when you look back over your life, what will you be proud of? What will you savour and hold close?
Who will tidy your mess? There are many questions to answer including whether you left an inheritance, fond memories, or children.
Hopefully you will have been a net giver on this Earth. You will have a tidy and easy to understand book of your affairs for your Executor.
What fun plans will you have had, trips will you have taken, and opportunities will you have pursued.
Sit down at a computer, or with pen and paper, for one hour this weekend and write out your life from its finish, back to now. Write out the highlight real you want to watch in your later life.
Then on Monday, set to work to ensure you do all that you wrote. That’s how you create a dream life.
Modern people don’t need 2,000 calories per day. I know what the ads say but I don’t think it’s been update for the WFH, laptop and tv lifestyle of 2024.
If you have more calories, how are you going to burn them off? If it’s a chore to go to the gym, then why not consume less and cancel the gym membership?
Are you eating for pleasure or survival? That’s what I thought.
You can want to quit smoking, stop drinking, lose weight, eat healthy, be slim, get straight A’s, and make millions. But wanting isn’t doing. And without doing the hard work, with discipline and sacrifice, you are very unlikely to get the results you want. Stop wanting it so badly. Start doing it so badly. As if your life depended on it. Commit! No more reasons, excuses or alibis. Learning this lesson well will let you change your life.
Have you ever had these thoughts? Should I party now and hope things get better or should I spend a little time preparing for my future life? The tough part is deciding what the optimal balance is for this constant, once-in-a-lifetime consideration. Should I spend and enjoy today or save now and spend later? The ratio adjusts at every moment, consciously or not. Now is the time to make better, conscious decisions.
When we test or measure something, we must know why we are doing it. We also must know what other factors could be skewing or influencing the result.
Then we must assess the end we are achieving versus the end we may want to be achieving.
Think about this with respect to money, fitness, health and relationships.
It’s very good for you. You can also see so much of your local area. And you can see things in better detail than you can from a moving bike or car.
We did nearly 11.000 steps, to and through Richmond Park this morning. Lovely. Felt so good.
Why wait till life is hell and the situation is a disaster? Make some changes today and keep adjusting the sail until you’re back on course.
It’s not very rockstar to fix your life before you self-destruct. However, it does save lots of time, relationships, regret, finances and health consequences if you get on a track to being better from today.
