Success Is Yours!

By: Sarah Delaney (View Profile)

Eventually, you might find a healthy lifestyle to be fulfilling and actually quite easy. It’s always the hardest to begin; remember how difficult your first job/kid/mortgage/credit card/relationship was? Do you remember anything in your life being difficult? How did you manage to get through it?

If you slacked off at work, left early, spent too much time emailing friends, turned in reports late and generally messed about, well it wouldn’t be a surprise when someone else got that promotion. Why does it surprise you that you aren’t losing weight if you eat whatever you want and never work out?

I am normally not this harsh but sometimes a Drill Sergeant is what people need.

Think about what you want, and what you have done in the past to achieve things you want. Now apply that same determination to your health! Stop moaning and get it done.

Amen! (Although I'm one of those people who sometimes needs a drill sergeant.) But you're right, and that's such a great way of looking at it. Why do we work our butts off for things that are so fleeting and not for the things that matter? As I type this, I'm working late. But I brought my clothes (step one) and now I'm logging off and leaving (step two). Thanks for the great perspective reminder!
