Excuses or results?

That's what it really comes down to isn't it? You can make excuses for why things didn't work out the way you wanted them to:

I can't get that 30 minutes of cardio in because I'm tired.
I can't eat healthy because I don't have time.
I am too lazy to exercise.


All things I've heard before. The first statement came from someone who was unhappy with the fact that he huffs and puffs walking up a flight of stairs. The second one came from a random person asking me why he can't get abs. The third came from my mother.

All but the last person (my mom) complain they can't get results. Maybe this is a little wrong to say... but for the average person, it comes down to one simple truth: you can have results or excuses, but you cannot have both.


If you're not doing exactly what you know you should be doing, then don't complain that you're not seeing the results you want to see. It's never going to work that way. It doesn't work that way in any aspect of your life.

Success isn't luck. True success is earned. The currency is blood, sweat, tears, sleep deprivation... in short,  the price for long term success is immediate sacrifice. You can have all the chips, ice cream, and cookies you want right now if you can accept that it will most likely make you more unhappy than happy in the long run... If you can accept that it will affect your overall health one day.

Success is a decision.

Just like how it's never too late to give up a bad habit it's never too late to pick up a positive attitude either. So when you wake up tomorrow morning and you're "too tired" to hit the gym or make eggs instead of eating cereal. Ask yourself: Do I want  results or do I want to make excuses?
