"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." - Socrates
If you want to really change your life in a way that you can be proud of, one of the routes to get there is to tackle your body. Some people start a little bit farther ahead that others, but the fact that you are going to start the journey of seeing what your body is capable of is commendable.
So what's the secret to making a permanent 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.
Having consistency will keep you playing in the game of life every single day. Without that consistency, your efforts are of someone who is merely interested in achieving their dreams and isn't truly serious. You have to be willing to work hard even when you don't feel like it. That's the mark of a champion.
Your commitment to your dreams has to be at 100%. Without that commitment, those dreams of yours will never happen. Time and time again people fall off the bandwagon because they aren't seeing the results they want. Truly, it usually happens right before something is going to click for them and see the finish line. Stay strong and keep going. It's only a matter of time until you succeed.
Is working hard and keeping at it a sexy idea? No, not really. But it is the thing that could truly change your life if you stay with it.
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.
