The Harsh Truth

Hey Team Turbulence. Here's the truth.

There will be days when you struggle to exercise and stick to your diet, and that is okay. Just never give up. Realize everyone else goes through this, and not quitting is what separates the success stories from the giver-uppers.

And more truth (a repeat from yesterday, but important):

Worst advice ever (because no one wants to hear this): Wake up earlier. Almost every problem can be solved by getting up earlier. Avoid checking email for as long as possible. Be ruthless with your time and block your time for uninterrupted work. Set deadlines. Work hard and hit those deadlines. Oh, and yes, expect this to suck. It won't be easy. But nothing worthwhile ever is.

Yes, achieving your goals and making progress is hard, but what else are you going to do? Quit? Give up your self-reliance and depend on others? No, you're not going to do that. You're going to persevere and overcome the obstacles that are in your way until you achieve the success you deserve.

So let's end this on a positive note: To get out of a rut and finish 2012 STRONG, read this:
