#1 Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy.

Everything that is worth anything is hard; we know that.

We know that we have to work for it, that we have to grind for the things we want, and that we have to struggle to get a better life.

But do what does that actually mean?

Having a fit body, for instance, is hard. It’s hard because you have to go to the gym, workout, eat right, and make your entire day about your health.

In theory we understand this but we do not understand that this changes everything.

From the minute you wake up to the minute you go to bed your thoughts will be surrounding food, exercise and fighting the urge to break either.

It means we have to buy better food, make the food, prepare it in advance, plan the meals, workouts, and count the calories, fats, proteins and everything else, while staying consistent no matter how crappy the weather or what part of the body hurts, spending the time every day to go to the gym and coming back, and then, on top of it all, we still have to work up a sweat every time we go to the gym.

It is hard not because of the one time we hit the gym but because of the complete and permanent change to our lifestyle that commitment involves.
