It will never be:
easy
perfect
the right time
Nobody is going to:
tell you exactly what to do
drag you out of bed in the morning
yell at you to eat healthy
lift weights for you
run a race for you
There will always be:
holidays
sick days
sleepless nights
early mornings
vacations
bad weather
long days at the office
It will always be easier to:
say no
hit SNOOZE
do nothing
settle
blame others
make excuses
give up
say “I tried my best” when you really didn’t
Life is freaking tough - health, wealth, and happiness certainly don’t come easy.
For those reasons, you don’t need:
The best equipment
The best business plan
The PERFECT workout program (it doesn’t exist)
A super specific meal plan
And it’s okay to:
not have all of the answers yet – NOBODY does
not have your life completely figured out yet – NOBODY does
get started and figure things out as you go
As Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are.”
Take action. Make changes.
You will make mistakes. You will fail. Embrace it.
You know what’s NOT okay?
to expect instant success and gratification
to give up immediately when life doesn’t go your way
to keep doing the same thing while expecting different results
to coast through life while complaining about it
to constantly wonder “what if” without ever finding out
Tomorrow never comes.
Eventually never happens.
Today.
Now.
Shut up and start.
