Expectations, Courage, and Will

Clear your mind of expectation, have the courage to be who you are, and have the will to go after what you want.

Expectations can lead to frustration, which can lead to quitting.

You must boldly assert yourself to taking action towards the change you wish to see in your life, without burdening yourself with expectations of perfection. Do not expect anything to come easily or quickly. Do not expect to eat perfect, look perfect, act perfect, and do not expect anything to feel perfect. DO expect to do all that you can for yourself and be at peace with the outcome.

It takes courage to ask for help if you need it.

Whether you are stepping into a crowded gym full of extremely fit people, taking that group exercise class for the first time, or braving the weight room floor, some degree of courage will be needed to get what you want.

It takes will power to overcome obstacles.

Will power begins with clarifying just exactly what you want for yourself, and then aligning your choices with your highest purpose. It means knowing exactly what you want, without at the same time wanting a thousand other contradictory things. Will power is the catalyst that combines knowing with doing, even if that means cutting some strings.

Lasting results come from the “mental” game. If you can train your mind to manage expectations, gain courage, and act upon your highest will… then at that point there will be no more doubts… results will begin to chase after you.
