“If you could snap your fingers and change all the things that are keeping you from reaching your peak, what would you change?”
Finding the changes that would spark a domino effect of positive changes is the linchpin towards
The devil isn't in the details or specifics- it's in the big picture.
To truly make a change for the better, to finally upgrade yourself and shine like a spotlight on center stage, address the following 3 problems as soon as possible.
Negativity
“If you could give the person who is responsible for most of your troubles a kick in the butt, you wouldn't be able to sit down for a month.”
Ever seem to notice that little voice inside your mind that always seem to direct your attention towards everything that's going wrong or might go wrong as you start devising goals and plans to upgrade yourself?
This usually leads you to saying something like, “Why bother?”
Sure, “Why bother?” Anything could go wrong at any time. Not to mention, life is pretty tough as is and adding this venture will only make it that more stressful.
If you own that belief, then you are trapped.
Your attitude has everything to do with your success. It's a chain reaction:
you create your attitude and your attitude influences the action you take.
On the surface, having a negative attitude may not seem to connected with the results you get, but please believe that your overall attitude about what you're doing is what's steering and fueling your actions.
To combat that, whenever any discouraging, self-defeating thoughts pop in your mind, make a conscious effort to eradicate them immediately.
Kill them early so they won't grow and have offspring.
Dogma
“Just because you believe something to be true doesn't mean that it is.”
Something I see that holds many people back are dogmatic health and fitness practices.
They have this closed system of beliefs that they refuse to come outside of.
Example:
“You have to eat breakfast”
Example:
“You have to eat breakfast”
“Paleo is the best way to go”
“Six meals a day is the best way to eat overall.”
“You should be moments away from passing out in order for a workout to be effective.”
There comes a time when you have to assess what you've been doing and simply ask yourself, “How is this working for me?”
As much as you'd like to be infallible, if what you're doing isn't yielding you the kind of results that you need, it may be time to become more tolerant and seek some solutions elsewhere.
Excuses
There is virtually no such thing as a valid excuse.
I don't have time to exercise
Healthy food is too expensive
I can't afford a trainer.
It's my genetics. I'm not meant to be fit.

It's so easy to look at someone who's doing the things you yearn to do and say, “They got to do that because they had this background or this thing, they have good genes...or they're rich, etc.”
In reality, excuses are nothing but children of fear.
Fear places you behind bars. It is the mind poison. It leads us into self-destruction by holding us back from our potential.
To combat that, you have to have a purpose for what you're doing. Like I pointed out in a previous email, constantly remind yourself of what you're fighting for.
Any risk you take to achieve that is well worth it.
Keep your purpose in mind and you will find that limitless power you already have to make your desire come true.
No excuses.
Live easy,
