Is this YOU?
Do you have regrets?
I certainly do, and they stick around with you for a life time, giving you that ultimate sense of failure
So I want to share with you the cure, based on a speech…
You may have seen this week me share the video of Apple founder Steve Jobs?
At the time of the speech, he announced how he had discovered he had pancreatic cancer…
And thankfully had overcome it
He said how he followed the mantra:
‘Live everyday as if it was your last, and you’ll almost certainly one day get it right’
With this approach, you don’t regret, because YOU DO
Regret is the product of failing to act on doing something, which could have resulted in you achieving something remarkable…
Conquering a sporting challenge you had always yearned
Shedding the body fat that’s been making you anxious for the last year
But its so easy not to do the training required (your tired, your stressed)
Not honestly adopt the nutrition required for change (you have no time, you drive too much)
And how often do you not act?
You might get close, but you fail to act and end up in the same place
(often using the age old excuses that we’ve all used above)
Its this lack of action which triggers the empty sense of regret further down the line
Take social media maniac Gary Vaynerchuk…
He always talks about how when he intentionally spent a lot of time around people in their 70’s, the only thing they complained about was regret
Not taking a chance
Not relishing an opportunity
The sad irony with Steve Jobs is he wouldn’t know a few years after that speech he would eventually succumb to illness and pass away, HOWEVER…
He lived, he took the opportunities, I guarantee he didn’t regret and he achieved what he wanted
You can keep talking a good game…
You can keep making the same excuses you know deep down aren’t genuine…
You can keep reading training and nutrition articles, even eye balling my e-mails each week…
But don’t expect what you actually want (life impacting results in how your body looks, feels and performs)
Or, act, DO, in succeeding with your training goals, you’ll end up with no regrets, and nothing but a bloody great sense of achievement
