what is controlling your thoughts what is enslaving you is it the television set feeding your mind images of what life should be is it the internet drawing you in and controlling your time is it drugs or alcohol numbing your your brain and diminishing your desires or is it weakness a lack of discipline that prevents you from accomplishing what you want to accomplish and we get very caught up in instant gratification we want the shortcut to the Winner's Podium we want results now and when we don't get the shortterm glory sometimes we lose sight of those
long-term goals they fade we lose focus so we stop the daily tasks and the daily disciplines that will allow us to achieve our goals and a day slips by and then another day then a day turns into a week and a week into a year and you look up in 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years and you've made no progress none you lost sight of the long-term goal and it faded and you began to rationalize maybe I can't maybe I don't really want to maybe this goal isn't for me and so you give
up you settle for the status quo you settle for the easy Road you settle for a well no don't do that embed that long longterm goal in your mind burn it into your soul think about it write about it talk about it hang it up on your wall but most important do something about it every day every day do something that moves you toward that goal that keeps that goal alive and insight and in Focus however small or insignificant that step might seem take it do it make it happen because that goal isn't going to
achieve itself it is all on you make a damn schedule and stick to it so that you have the day you want that's the trick it's like okay I've got tomorrow if I was going to set it up so it was the best possible day I could have what would it look like well then you scheduled that so if you want more free time you need more discipline time more scheduled time towards the things that matter the more vacation time for you and your family that's how you get ahead what's your distraction just be honest
are you distracted by ESPN are you distracted by movies Netflix video games gossip are you distracted with things that don't matter in your life ask yourself truthfully your big goals and dreams can you get laser of excessively focused almost to its exclusivity for an extended period of time I'm talking about about a year 2 years 3 years 4 years 5 years even a decade towards something you want so badly you want it Like Oxygen it's like you want it like you want to live are you extendedly laser focused on it or do you get distracted
easily are obsessions become our possessions but we won't possess them if we're not truly obsessed turn your damn TV off turn your phone off a lot too does it really matter what's going on with the Kardashians right now don't be so obsessed with them be obsessed with your own reality TV program called your own life this suffering this sacrifice you're making is an indicator of progress it's an indicator of obsession suffering and sacrifice and hard work is an indication of progress towards our dreams the price you will pay for not making your dream come true
is far greater than the one that you will pay to make it come true you'll pay that one the rest of your life and so ask yourself what you're willing to risk what's the price you're willing to pay stop negotiating the price it's a freeing experience to totally commit when you totally commit to a business to your Fitness it's a free powerful it's almost like removing Kryptonite from your life when you totally commit can you do that the people around you it's costing too much it's costing too much you go no it's worth things [Music]
