The 3 Most Important Life Lessons I have Learned So Far
#1 Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy.
So I know this is a very, very, overused quote, but it just rings so true.
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 mean?
Having a fit body, for instance, is hard. It’s hard because you have to go to the gym, workout, eat right, and constantly exercise.
This we know, but what we do not know, and what makes it truly hard, is that it changes everything.
Getting a fit body is hard not because we have to go to the gym every day, but because we have to change our entire diet and be consistent with it with no exceptions, spending multiple hours every day making it to the gym, exercising and coming back, and then, on top of everything, we actually have to train to the brink of exhaustion.
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.
Being fit is hard because it changes everything.
