However, at least you started.

Imagine if you just decided to stay at the top of the hill doing nothing, and not trying to reach the tower for a myriad of excuses – you’re never going to get there.

Now what do you think is more fulfilling in life – watching the nice view and dreaming about what being at the tower is like, or living your life fuelled with ambition to reach that tower, as that is where you truly want to be in life?

I know what my choice is. What’s yours?

Make your first step today.

From my journey so far I have learnt that is a result of 2 major things: fear and instant vs long-term reward.

Fear is a major one: simply put we are scared of attempting to achieve our goals in case we fail. This is understandable – who on earth wants to be a failure?

I learnt to overcome this without even knowing over a few years when I finally lost weight. It made me realise that I am capable of doing so much in life that I just started to believe that I was invincible and could do whatever I wanted.

Now in life us humans are lazy and will always go for the easiest choice in life, and it applies to achievement as well – we would rather get effortless satisfaction from the Big Bang Theory than to spend that time invested in ourselves to become a better version of ourselves.

A few years back I was the definition of this: I watched all 8 seasons of scrubs over 6 days when I was 14… However, when I got that initial burst of motivation to sort my fat out it caused a very little snowball to start rolling down the mountain. When I started to notice that it was gaining a little bit of momentum I slowly got bored of constantly watching TV shows and playing CoD, and starting to invest a little more time in other skills such as skateboarding and learning to ride a bike backwards. Sure I still watched TV, but the amount of TV I felt I needed to watch started to decrease as I felt the urge to become a better version of myself as I started to appreciate the amazing internal feeling of progression.

Now at 19 I watch 2 TV series, Suits and Limitless (epic shows). I also watch a little Youtube, however after a while I just get bored and need to do something which will make me become a beast – the snowball has gained so much momentum and pace that there is no stopping it.

Once you get that little short boost of motivation to get that snowball going you will slowly but surely set yourself on a path to dominate life. Do yourself a favor and take that first step; start having one less bite of your food each day or ready for 5 minutes on the bus… do something so simply and effortlessly to slowly wire your brain to want to get bored of slacking and built to achieve.
