It will never be:

easy

perfect

the right time

Nobody is going to:

tell you exactly what to do

drag you out of bed in the morning

yell at you to eat healthy

lift weights for you

run a race for you

There will always be:

holidays

sick days

sleepless nights

early mornings

vacations

bad weather

long days at the office

It will always be easier to:

say no

hit SNOOZE

do nothing

settle

blame others

make excuses

give up

say “I tried my best” when you really didn’t

Life is freaking tough – health, wealth, and happiness certainly don’t come easy.

For those reasons, you don’t need:

The best equipment

The best business plan

The PERFECT workout program (it doesn’t exist)

A super specific meal plan

And it’s okay to:

not have all of the answers yet – NOBODY does

not have your life completely figured out yet – NOBODY does

get started and figure things out as you go

As Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are.”

Take action. Make changes.

You will make mistakes. You will fail. Embrace it.

You know what’s NOT okay?

to expect instant success and gratification

to give up immediately when life doesn’t go your way

to keep doing the same thing while expecting different results

to coast through life while complaining about it

to constantly wonder “what if” without ever finding out

Tomorrow never comes.

Eventually never happens.

Today.

Now.

Shut up and start.

-Steve
