Going The Distance

It’s easy to start things.  We all make decisions, we say we are going to start a new diet, we are going to give up an unhealthy habit.  New Years rolls around and we tell ourselves all the amazing things we are going to change in our lives, and by the time February rolls around we are the same exact person.

Why is this?

We lack discipline.

We lack follow through.

There’s a lot of excitement when something first starts.  You have energy, motivation, and determination.  But then that initial high wears off, and you are left feeling drained. Feeling anything but determined.

But in those moments of weakness when you feel like giving up, that’s when you have to really press in.  That’s when you have to remind yourself of why you started in the first place.

We love results.  But the truth is sometimes it takes a very long time to see results.  That doesn’t mean things aren’t happening, they are.

So keep at it, don’t quit.  Go the distance, and you will be so glad you did.
