Hi, Do you see a single failure as the end of all things? Achieving a goal isn't always a straight and unwinding path. For most, a couple of failures come before the eventual success. The vast majority of people will give up after the first stumbling block. They will lack the strength to learn a lesson and move forward with the execution of their plan. In order to be successful you will have to turn every failure into an opportunity. This is what visionaries and successful people do. You can't anticipate for the pursuit of your dream to always be simple and effortless. Understand the fact that failure is natural. What matters after you fail is much more important than blaming yourself for committing…

Hi, Believe in yourself! Do you believe in your ability to bring an idea to fruition? If the answer is no, you're similar to most other people. The lack of belief in one's abilities and strengths is a common reason for goal abandonment. Mindset is everything when it comes to breaking out of the routine and doing everything it takes to pursue something challenging but rewarding. If you don't think that you're talented enough, strong enough or creative enough to change your life, you will probably go back to the routine practices sooner or later (for most people it would be sooner). Even if you're handled the best of opportunities to pursue your goal, you'll be hesitant about seizing those. Why? Because you believe that you…

Hi, Do you have daily distractions? Other than this newsletter being a distraction right now, of course. Dreams and specific goals require focus and strategic execution day after day. At the same time, most people have other responsibilities, daily struggles and routines that have become ingrained in their very system. These routines and traditional shortcuts are often distracting. They keep one from seeing the end goal. The dream becomes way too abstract to pursue and most will give up within a short period of time. We live in a very dynamic world. Instant access to information. Instant access to communication. Instant access to entertainment Instant access to apps that promote nonsense and stupidity. We have gotten used to leading fast-paced lives and we've also gotten used to wanting immediate gratification. A serious…

Hi, Do you put too much power in the hands of somebody else? We are group creatures. As a result, many people are heavily influenced by others. While positive influences can help a person realise their potential, negative influences will prevent many from pursuing their dreams. Giving others the power to influence your decisions will probably make you think twice about an idea or a dream you have. What you perceive as one's mission could be silly in the eyes of somebody else. Hence, other people's opinions could lead to the total invalidation of your goal. A fear of being judged or seen as silly by the community is another reason why many people will give up on their goals very early on. Revolutionary ideas…

Hi, Do you have a lack of discipline? I know, maybe a bit of a personal question. However, pursuing a goal necessitates commitment and a lot of discipline. Discipline and the willingness to work hard are often missing. Most people want to reach an end goal without having to sweat for it. This is probably the number one reason why so many people generate one idea after another but they never move on to the execution stage. Lacking discipline to put in the effort day after day and without anticipating immediate results is probably the number one reason why people give up. Even if the task is small, there will still be some level of commitment required. A fickle nature and a bit of laziness…

Hi, What Does Consistency Look Like? At its core, consistency looks like getting right back on track when you fall off instead of falling off and staying off. The next time you accidentally overeat or eat something that doesn't align with your weight loss goals, don't just give up. Instead, forgive yourself and make your next meal a healthy one. The next time you're too tired to exercise, follow the same principle: stay positive and make tomorrow's workout great. Everyone slips up in their weight loss journey at times. You'll see much more success if you remain consistent despite your setbacks and make the decision to be patient with your body. Healthy weight loss takes time, so don't be discouraged if…

Hi, Why does consistency beat perfection every time? It's easy to become discouraged and give up on losing weight after making one or two mistakes. Many people believe that if they can't perfectly stick to every goal, such as hitting every single workout and never eating dessert, they simply can't lose weight. Feelings of discouragement and failure cause people to think they should just give up entirely. One of the biggest enforcers of this façade of perfection is social media. Since most people only share their successes and proud moments on their social media pages, it's easy to believe that the people you follow are always motivated to work out and never eat something that could be deemed "unhealthy." However, this idea of perfection…

Hi, Why is consistency Such an Important Part of Your weight loss or body transformation Plan? People have trouble losing weight for a variety of reasons. Some are both in and out of their control. Whatever the issue may be, one key misstep most people make while trying to lose weight is having a lack of consistency. We've all been there. You decide to change your life for the better, instil some healthy habits, and lose some extra weight in the process. For the first few days, you're so excited about your new goal that it feels easy to eat healthy and well-balanced meals, turn down your favourite unhealthy snacks, and include some moderate to strenuous exercise in your routine. However, after a few…

Hi, Why are we always looking for the quick fix? What is making people choose the next big thing over learning how to eat? While obesity and unhealthy weight is a concern, the desire for us to lose weight quickly at any cost has caused us to equally engage in unhealthy eating habits and behaviours. We spend so much time looking for which diet to follow and getting advice from other people that we have completely forgotten how to tap into and connect with our own body. Why do you think we try so many different diets/ways to lose weight fast? The media - particularly social media - plays a big part in it. It has skewed our views of…
