I thought of an interesting question today as I was reviewing my goals for the next year. You see, as the year draws to an end, I decided that I would become more serious about setting goals and keeping myself on track. As I began picking the list of what I want to accomplish next year, I started to think about what each of these goals would cost in both time and effort.
I've learned to ask myself an important, albeit a difficult, question. Am I willing to do whatever it takes to achieve these goals?
If you're going to be writing a list of goals in the near future and building muscle will be on the list of things you want to accomplish, take a moment to ask yourself the same questions. You see, achievements such as building a strong, muscular body do not simply happen by themselves. They take dedication, commitment, and the initiative to take action.
You may think that you've heard all this before, and maybe that's true. But hearing something a number of times and actually putting it into practice are two completely different things. Without action, that knowledge is worthless.
Whatever you choose to do in your life will be at the expense of something else. You can really only do one thing at any particular moment, so you should know what you're willing to give up.
So are you willing to do what it takes to reach your fitness goals? Which do you prefer, watching that favor TV show or working on a solid strength training program? Can you give up the incredibly tempting ice cream sundaes you eat every day in exchange for a healthier and better looking body?
You may not have to give up every fun thing in your life in order to reach some serious goals, but some sacrifice will inevitably be involved.
A half hour workout a few times a week for several months will accomplish what one five hour workout cannot. Whatever you choose, keep the long term in mind and rest assured that living your dreams tomorrow, in both bodybuilding and beyond, are well worth the price you pay today.
