If your personal Fitness goals are important to you, work as hard as you possibly can, and pay attention to every hour of every day. Then, after a while, you might decide your goal is a bit more important so start paying attention every minute of every hour of every day. Seek out people, who are better than you, take an open mind and ferocity for learning when you meet them. Their example will inspire or intimidate you and if it’s the former you must dig in and learn.

In fact, you might find being exposed to their superior discipline and fitness levels will drive you to work harder than you thought possible, or necessary. In time you’ll overcome your self-imposed limitations and make progress you didn’t think was possible. Now, you understand; there is positive reinforcement for suffering and hard work in your workouts and especially in your nutrition regimen.

Now, perhaps you give your fitness goals even more importance and you begin paying attention every second of every minute of every hour of every day, and you maintain this discipline for weeks and months at a time. You no longer think yourself as powerless, and uninformed. You are a focused, disciplined individual on a mission, a mission that doesn’t end after 90 days.

An honest self-assessment is the place to start. Don’t be lazy, or confused about the meaning of hard work and nutritional discipline. Self-discipline doesn’t mean eating two M&M’s instead of twenty. Taking a ton of supplements cannot make up for a poor diet and inadequate recovery. Remember, appearance is a consequence of fitness.

How many of you know exactly what you want to achieve? Where are you now in your progress towards that goal? What is your plan to get from here to there? How many will start on the path to extreme fitness, but fail? How many will settle for less? The answer to these questions is that very few people know, and too many people will settle for less.
