Doing The Opposite Of What You Want

What do you want to achieve? What do you want out of your life? What do what to be remembered for? How much weight do you want to lose? Whatever your answer, what are you doing to achieve those goals? 

The surprising thing is that most people are doing the opposite of what the want. Why? Because they usually do not have goals set and review them daily, they don't know what they really want, they procrastinate and plan and plan and plan, but never take action. 

If you want to lose 10 pounds: Are you eating healthy each day? Are you working out 3 days a week? Are you actively seeking out the best weight loss programs? Or are you still eating candy bars, working out infrequently and still walking the same 3 miles on the treadmill?

What if your your dream is to retire early and live your life in financial freedom? Are you saving/investing at least 10% of your income? Are you in a career that you love and will allow you to retire early with financial freedom? Do invest in your education and spend one hour learning each day? Or are you spending everything that comes in not saving anything, never spending on your education, never making time to learn for one hour each day, and hate your job?  

Whatever it is you want it will take consistent hard work. I emphasize consistent because nothing happens overnight. It takes small steps each and everyday in the direction of your goal that will add up over time resulting in the achievement of your goal.

You can achieve anything you desire whether it is the body of your dreams, owning your on business, or anything else. All it takes is consistent work and focus each day. Do this everyday for a year and you'll be surprised how far you've come in a year.

Live Fit,

Josh
