A couple weeks ago I had a client come into my office and ask me a simple exercise-related question. I answered to her satisfaction and as she left my office she said, "Well I guess I'll go try to do this" to which I responded with a question that has become one of my new business directives:
"Are you training or are you trying?
She didn't quite understand what I meant so I explained that when you're "training" to accomplish your goals you are focused, systematic, analytical and eliminate "chance" from the equation. You have to be purposeful in your actions and then evaluate the outcome of those actions.
"If you're merely "trying" to reach your goals then you've allowed chance to be your guide and you're haphazardly going from one diet to the next or you're sporadic and unfocused in your exercise routine."
This is transcendant, guys... it goes way beyond exercise. It really hits on the difference between mediocre results (or none at all) and game-changing results in every aspect of our lives.
Tomorrow I'll give you some super valuable tips on how to structure your day to make sure you're "training".
