Knowing What to do is Not Enough…

Knowing What to do is Not Enough… Doing What You Know is the Key!

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people transform their bodies and lives. I love it when they succeed. But as numerous as the success stories are, I’m repeatedly reminded of the fact that there are still far too many people who have yet to discover their true health potential.

Many of them know how to exercise. Some know how to eat right, too. In fact, this vast and ever-expanding population of people who have yet to successfully transform even includes doctors and professors who all know the human body.

What these people are missing is the ability to apply knowledge. Without that skill, it doesn’t matter how much you know, you’ll be stranded at the edge of an infinity chasm I call the abyss.

Until you discover how to cross to abyss, you will struggle. You will have setbacks. And you may even begin to lose hope.

However, those who do cross the abyss — those who know and do — enjoy not only tremendous changes in the way they look and feel — they move forward in most all areas of their lives.

So how do you take that leap and join those on the other side who are truly LIVING life, not merely surviving it? Well, that’s what I’m about to share with you. But before I do, we need to have a little “heart-to-heart talk.” You see, as you may have already noticed, transformation is about much more than physical fitness, it’s about life.

I’ve discovered that any discussion of the correct way to get in shape and stay in shape is, in actuality, a discussion of how you’ve lived your life up to this point and how you will live it in the future.

Therefore, to help you make the dramatic changes in your body and life, which you do have the potential to make, I’m going to have to ask you some very personal questions. And you’re going to have to look inside — deep inside — for the honest answers. This, in and of itself, is a challenge, but it is very important.

You see, the dramatic transformations started with honest reflection and self responsibility. Not with merely buying some home exercise gadget, nor on stocking up on the latest “miracle pill.” Superficial approaches like that never truly work.

Real transformation always starts on the inside. And that’s where you’re going to have to find the answer to this first question:

Have you made the decision to change?

Most people I ask tell me they’ve made this decision. But how many people have truly decided to change? Very few. Why? Because there’s a big difference between deciding something and having purposeful reasons to actually do it.

When you make a decision to change and you know your reasons, you will harness the force — the desire to make something happen. So now I ask:

What are your reasons for making the decision to transform?

You see, it’s one thing to say you’ve decided to lose 30 pounds of fat and get in shape. It’s a whole other thing to have your doctor tell you that you’ll be dead in a year and never see your children’s children if you don’t lose 30 pounds, pronto.

I know that you know deep down inside you have a number of reasons for deciding to change. I can’t tell you exactly what they are, but I can tell you they are there.

Here is a question that will begin to help you find your reasons:

When you look at yourself, do you honestly like what you see?

It’s important to really look. Since we all “see” ourselves every day, we often don’t notice if we’re slipping. If we’re not careful, before long, the image we have of ourselves in our minds will not be in sync with reality.

I suggest taking a photo of your body, standing relatively relaxed with your arms at your sides, in a pair of shorts or a swimsuit. Get that photo developed and look at it.

Here are a few more questions that will help you identify your reasons:

How do you feel deep down inside?
How do you feel about yourself?
Are you taking proper care of you?
Are you confident, energetic, and strong?
What are the pros and cons of continuing in the direction you’re going?
Would you like to enjoy this summer in a lean, healthy, new body?

When you answer these questions, your reasons for making the decision to transform will start to become clear. When they do, write them down on a piece of paper, and read what you’ve written first thing in the morning and again at night before you go to sleep. Do this every day throughout your transformation. These reasons will remain your guiding light, your beacon, during the journey you have now decided to begin.
