"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates
One of the best most challenging journeys you'll ever go on is seeing what your body is capable of. Perhaps you are in shape, totally out of shape, or simply expecting to lose some weight. Nonetheless, developing a body that you can be proud, one that is healthy, and allows you to truly adore each last piece of it really is a dazzling journey to attempt.
So, what's the little secret that can help you make an everlasting change with your body?
Promising yourself to bring consistency and commitment to the table.
There's nothing else like coming to the table every day and giving it your best shot. Your best effort must be yours and yours alone. Don't start comparing your journey to other journeys or else you will become distracted and deterred from your vision. As an alternative, understand you're competing with yourself and yourself alone.
Failure is a natural part of chasing dreams, and on the journey towards creating your best body, there's a whole lot of defeats that will happen. But in knowing that and being committed to seeing this all the way through, you will have the ability to bring your best to the table day in and day out.
Being able to be consistent over long periods of time is one of the most crucial aspects in achieving your dreams. Without that consistency, you aren't going to be able to thrive through the tough times that are going to inevitably happen. You must be willing to struggle and work hard especially when you don't want to.
Commitment also comes to mind, though not the commitment that you're possibly thinking of. In our world, we are fed this concept that everything must happen right now and if it doesn't, it isn't worth it. Your body is going to really change throughout the years, so why don't you make a lifelong commitment to staying healthy?
Is hard work a sexy idea? No. Is commitment? Not really. But those are two of the few ingredients to success that you must have.
See the big picture. See yourself in the future with that amazing body and see yourself as an incredibly happy person who finally followed through on their dreams. You will never again be amongst those who are too afraid to chase their dreams.
So try it on for size and see if it works for you. Make a lifetime commitment to staying healthy and watch how much your body will change in the short term as well.
Oh, and don't forget - commitment and consistency.
