Very quickly, many of them drop out, with no chance to achieve what they had initially set out to do. Are you one of the people just crowding up the gym, or are you still showing up, taking the daily action that will lead to the accomplishment of your goal?

Like Michelangelo says, “If people knew how hard he had to work to gain his mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.” People need to be honest with themselves about what they’re willing to give up to achieve what they want. It’s not always glamorous, and it’s often very hard, and sacrifices many others wouldn’t be willing to make. If you are willing to make sacrifices others aren’t willing to, you’ll reap rewards at a level they won’t be able to.

People who are lazy don’t actually have the easiest/laziest life. They make their lives harder on themselves since there are no compounding results from any of their work. Four hour workweeks don’t produce four hour workweeks. You can’t be lazy to create a passive lifestyle. Hard work allows a passive lifestyle.

Jumping from new plan to new plan, doesn’t help you achieve results even if the plans you’re jumping to are better than the last one you had. Each new strategy becomes a distraction, and time that could have been productive is spent questioning your direction, and wasting time wondering if there’s a better way to get where you’re going. If you just stuck with your initial plan, chances are you’d make it much further than trying to find the perfect plan.
