Wilingness

If you want to make a change, take a look at yourself in the mirror, and ask what I am I willing to do to make a lifestyle change. What is it going to take?

Does it mean working with a trainer who will push you harder than you’re willing to push yourself? Does it mean consuming less high calorie foods like potato chips, candy bars, and pop? Perhaps taking a walk around the neighborhood after dinner. Giving up cigarettes or alcohol. Calling a friend to work out with you. Not eating after 8pm every night.

Then ask yourself how willing am I to make those changes? Willingness takes courage. Courage means bravery.

  1. · Bravery to admit where you are at this very moment.
  2. · Bravery to accept where you are at this moment.
  3. · Bravery mixed with desire to CHANGE.
  4. · Bravery to meet someone half way who is working with you for your benefit.

Though the spirit is willing sometimes, the mind is not. We all put up barriers, or blocks to our own success. If you can figure out what yours are, then you can remove them. The blocks so often begin with our own thoughts. The wise old adage of: If you THINK you have been beaten, than you HAVE.
