OK. If you REALLY want to reach your fitness goals this
time, we must address the #1 obstacle that you must face. If we can’t beat
this, you WILL fail.
The obstacle that ends more than 90% of all dreams is - the EXCUSE.
When people set out to achieve a goal, of any kind, they
typically find the road to success is a difficult one. Often the road is
tougher than expected. When people quit, they never take responsibility.
When people fail, they always find an excuse on which to blame
their failure. The sad part is, they never even had the chance to fail. They
quit before they ever had the chance to see their dream through. We won’t do
that. How can this be prevented?
-Honesty.
We must list our reasons for failure, BEFORE we begin. Why?
Because, most people quit because of an issue that existed before they began
their journey: Kids, job, time, etc. but, they knew this before. What “suddenly”
happened? The truth?
The journey tested them, and they came up small. They didn’t
want to admit their weakness so, they pointed to whatever they could use as an
excuse. This gave them the “freedom” to QUIT.
“We” won’t have this ability. Why? Because once we list and
write down our “excuses”, and we decide to try anyway, we won’t have these
excuses to fall back on, when the going gets tough. How will we explain that we quit, to
those who know what we are trying to do? We won’t be able to. So, we will need
to keep going.
If you have any excuses that prevent you from starting your
fitness challenge, you are not alone. Let me share with you MY excuses.
My "Excuses"
1. Arthritic knees: I have dislocated both knees
playing football. It is difficult to bend down to pick something up off of the
floor unless I hold onto a table or chair.
2. Two separated shoulders. I lack mobility in my
injured shoulders. I find it difficult to reach above my head. I haven’t slept
with my hands under my pillow in more than 25 years.
3. Neck and back pain: I injured my neck and back
playing football in my 20’s. I had a head-on collision with a linebacker who
weighed 30 pounds more than me. I felt a lightning-bolt shoot through my left
foot when we collided. I’ve been in pain ever since.
4. I tore my left biceps off the bone and needed
surgery to reattach.
5. My right hip has been replaced. Surgeon put
limitations on my training. (Hurts a bit too)
6. I am 25 lbs overweight and in poor cardiovascular condition.
7. I haven’t been my ideal weight in nearly 15 years.
8. I have limited time. I have to work full-time and
I am writing another book, during this challenge. It is my first work of
fiction, (at my niece’s request). My aging parents are having health issues which
often derail family member’s schedules. (They were ALWAYS there for us so, it
is a privilege to be there for them. I’m sure most of you understand.)
9. I will turn 55-years-old during this challenge.
There. This is my list of “excuses”. Now that I have shared
them, I cannot use them to quit. How can I? I am saying I will succeed anyway.
If the road gets tough, and I try to use one of these excuses, I will look ridiculous.
I suggest you write down and share your “excuses” with
family and friends before you begin this 90-day challenge. Once you start, you
have no choice but to continue. THAT, will be the difference between everyone
else’s failure, and your success.
Let’s do this!
Included with each post, I will include a link to my book, should you wish to read more detail.
Don't let the title fool you. This is for anyone. Women have simply asked more questions in the past. I wanted to answer those questions as completely as possible.
