Lie #1:
'Winners never quit, and quitters never win.'
~~~
Dear Inspiring Health & Fitness Enthusiast,
I can directly attribute this lie to five
solid years of misery and failure in my own
life.
In my early Teen's, I was an up and down
yo yo weight loss junkie, and I was hearing this one
every day. And I believed it passionately.
But eventually, slowly, I began to realize that
this statement was nothing more than a way of
manipulating me (via guilt) into sticking around
for yet-another-month of doing something that
absolutely was not working at all.
Let's get something straight: Some weight loss
and Fat loss programs
don't work. Some aren't worth
doing or starting. Some products are so weak that nothing
can save them. Some ventures are doomed from
the start, and even if they *appear* to be
worthwhile.
Even if some people are capable of making them
*look* successful, you must submit them to rigorous
testing (as I discussed yesterday) and find out if
they're fundamentally worth it or not.
When you figure out that it ain't going to
work, DITCH IT and move on! That's quitting
out of STRENGTH.
Here's the REAL issue:
Are you quitting out of STRENGTH, or are
you quitting out of WEAKNESS?
If you quit because you're just lazy or not
willing to learn, then you're quitting out
of weakness. Too bad for you.
If you quit because you've determined that
you're headed in the wrong direction, then you're
quitting out of strength. And you should quit as fast
as you possibly can, so that you can WIN at
something else.
So here's the REAL truth:
Winners never quit out of weakness, and
quitters never even get far enough to quit
out of strength.
Just like everything else I've been
talking about this week, shrewd weight loss and Fat loss
uses real numbers and results to judge winning and
losing propositions and get down to the real truth.
Back to my life as a professional Dieter: I bought a toolkit from Kim Odo
and thankfully started using a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist to
build that body that I always wanted. Actually, that approach DID work. And will always work!
BUT - I also discovered that the cost of
acquiring the result was way too high and
the return took so long. Simply put, there were
many other businesses where the numbers were vastly
superior, and required far less 'manual labor.'
But continue to fail people and confusion is at an all time high!
When I was building that better body for life via shoe leather,
the true cost was hidden from me, and I thought it
would be worthwhile in the end. It still is afterall what is your health worth.
But... when I reduced the acquisition of
a new body and healthy life to a *dollar figure*, though,
it became obvious that I was making a mistake in my thinking.
I quit. Out of strength.
After that, my next adventure was
actually to educate and inspire the world to fitness
for weight loss and Fat loss Permanently as their lifestyle.
It has been a lot of fun, and eventually, it will be very rewarding
the more people Fitness Elements can transform .
Tomorrow I'll attack with Lie #2:
