Although I pretty much covered this in the post; ’No Pain No Gain, Is That The Attitude?’ I feel the need to repeat myself because I see it consistently, week in week out. Not just in the classes, but in life in general. It is the single biggest cause of failure that I have seen.
People are full of excuses for why they missed training. Why they can’t stick to an exercise programme, diet or goals. The real reason, I believe, is that they don’t have a big enough ‘Why?’ The saying goes, ‘If you have a big enough ‘Why?’ you’ll find the ‘How?’
Why are you training in a particular art? Why do you want to go to the gym? Why do you work where you do? Does your ‘Why?’ fire you up? If not, then you need to re-evaluate your choices. We all have choices, no matter how dire your situation may seem.
