Laziness Kills Millions of Dreams

Will this year's fitness goals be one of the victims?

* * *

Balls deep in an ice bath I started to wonder...

'do I hate myself? what the hell am I doing!'

* * *

I used to be terrified of 'The Laziness' !!

AS if it was a disease.

I can vividly remember never washing my hands with warm water because I thought it would make my mind soft

Finishing every shower with an ice-cold rinse

Never allowing myself to have a lie-in and catch up on sleep

Not taking holidays

Not taking time out in the day for a walk, or a good conversation or just to watch TV

All of this was done because I thought it would build my mental toughness and motivation

And I guess, because it had a certain 'cool factor' to it all.

Fact is, it just made me cold and miserable most of the time.

Wanna know what motivation really comes from?

This is IMPORTANT stuff

Being and staying motivated is the key to success

And it's much simpler than you think

- SUCCESS IS SUPER BORING, JUST DO THE SAME KEY THINGS EACH DAY

- TAKE AT LEAST 3 HOURS A DAY TO DO YOUR OWN STUFF; KIDS, CINEMA, READING, WHATEVER. YOU MUST HAVE 'SANE TIME' TO OFFSET 'WORK TIME'

- GET A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT YOUR GOAL WILL ALLOW YOU TO DO, WHY DO YOU WANT YOUR GOAL? DIG DEEPER AND WRITE IT ALL DOWN

- SLEEP IS VERY IMPORTANT. SET A BED TIME. TAKE NAPS. MEDITATE AND RELAX TOO

- YOU CAN BE LAZY AND BE SUCCESSFUL, JUST DO THE KEY STEPS EACH DAY AND THEN CHILL THE F*CK OUT!

Knowing your goal and then being consistent in your action

Every Day

With a smile on your face

Is the ONLY way to be successful and ENJOY it

As I don't believe success is achieved unless you enjoy the end result!

Go take ACTION!
