Studies in perserverence are all around us every day.
You have the Olympic Games about to start in this country, you have the British doing so very well in the Tour de France for the first time ever (in such a high podium position) and we always do well in the Paralympics.
If you look at the human stories behind the headlines, you have athletes putting in untold amount of hours in, you have the sacrifice of parents sometimes not being at their children’s birthdays because they are in another country training, you have athletes going through absolute hell sometimes in recovering from career threatening injuries, above all you have inspiring stories of great sacrifice that most people cannot or do not want to understand.
On many different levels, i see studies in persererence each and every day.
I see individuals in sports all the time reaching new levels through increased effort in dedication.
I see dedication with individuals losing sometimes ten stone, and ten inches off someone’s waist is not uncommon.
The problem is that most of society does not realise how much work and effort goes into this, sheer hard work is not always appreciated but this is exactly what it takes!
This is why i try to get people away from purely shakes and bars diets, frankly they set people up for long term misery and i see they are doing the rounds around this area again. Quite how people fall for this sort of rubbish time and time again is beyond me, but unfortunately it keeps happening!!!
So no fads, no gimmicks, just hard work and results!!!
If you’re looking for an easy way out, then be prepared to be disappointed again so please make the right choice!!!
Take the inspiring examples of the athletes i mentioned at the start of this piece, and use their perserverence to inspire you to new highs!
