We are now well and truly in 2012. Did you make resolutions? Or did you simply take stock of your situation and reaffirm old goals? Perhaps you didn't bother this year?
I think many many people decided to achieve something in 2012. And I'm willing to bet that just 12 days later most have already given up after finding it to hard.
We live in a time when instantaneous gratification is the norm.
Want something? Buy it now, pay later.
Want to watch a show? Download and watch now. Nobody waits for it anymore.
This has affected the way people approach health and fitness. Nobody wants to work towards the goal, they just want the goal. Right now, thank you very much.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there isn't a shortcut. If you want it, you have to put in the time and the effort.
This is actually a good thing. Quick, easy results have no lasting value.
You simply can't attach a high value to something that anybody can have at any time. But, if you have something that few people have, and many people would like, then you have a valuable commodity.
If you want to have it, be prepared for some deprivation and difficulty. Hang in there. Persevere. The reward is great for great effort.
I'm starting to see my goals being achieved, and I tell you this, it makes everything worthwhile. Nothing compares to the feeling you have when you arrive at the destination you set a course for so long ago.
You're gonna love it!
