When you attempting just about anything including getting into shape, it’s always good to think ahead what you want. One of the most mind blowing ways of thinking about it is imagine you are 80 years of age.
Base the decisions you make now as if you were 80. Chances are this will take a lot of indecision out of your life, and you actually “go for it” a lot more than maybe you do right now. The “should i? I’m scared to” moments will turn into “let’s get it done, go for it and give it a shot, doesn’t matter if i fail at least i tried, and i’m going to carry on till i make it” kind of moments.
Think of the legacy you will leave when you are 80. That starts right now, not in a few years, a few months, but your legacy actually starts right now.
You must know by now that unless you are physically in good shape, it’s impossible to have the energy levels to create amazing things in your life. I am talking about the energy you will need rising at 5am, and going hard at it all day. This is what’s really needed to get good at something, and then many years mastering it. It’s said it takes 10,000 hours to master something, that’s 10 years in simple language.
Do you think that’s possible? If you don’t then maybe its time you stepped up your efforts, changed your strategy and give everything to this thing we’re doing. Getting fitter and healthier gives you the strong foundation and optimism you’re going to need to chase down what you really want deep down.
You can never out train a bad diet. You can never get as fit as you want by showing up just once or twice a week. You can never get huge energy levels if you are drinking alcohol in the week. You can never get as positive as you’d like to be about your life’s efforts unless you hang out with positive people, and choose positive environments.
Get these things right and everything in your life changes. Your achievements change and the rapid pace of achievement you really want becomes possible.
Your legacy starts right now, think of how you want to be remembered at that age, live a life worth living so your kids, grandkids whatever will be deeply proud of you. You are the trailblazer right now, and lots of people closest to you would love to follow your example.
Anyone can become a leader, all you got to do is decide to, follow through on what you have been putting off for years maybe, and test your resolve and ability to the full, don’t let anyone put you off and go for it and see where it takes you.
