I was thinking about how the Boston Bruins won their 4th game to make it into the finals for the Stanley Cup here in 2013. The Penguins “wanted” it as much as the Bruins did. The Penguins “worked” hard at trying to win. Something came over the Bruins and I believe that is some sort of PASSION and DESIRE to win that outweighed and hence outplayed and outscored the Penguins in that final game 4 to WIN.
Success in anything you do is the same. I was thinking about people in my health and fitness challenge groups and the beachbody coaches on our team.
Everyone “wants” to win, everyone “wants” to succeed, everyone “intends” to hit their goals and once and for all fight off the demons that tell them they “can’t” do it!
So, what makes the difference in the ones that SUCCEED and the ones that fall off the wagon and have a hard time getting back on? PASSION, DESIRE, WILL, whatever you want to call it.
Those that I watch SUCCEED at all costs do many things different than those that do not.
One, they are ACTIVE with the rest of us online in our pages, talking to us daily or at least every few days, sharing their triumphs and struggles.
Two, they have shared publicly with the rest of us online in our pages, their WHY! Their desire, their true passion, their ULTIMATE goal as to what they are working on achieving.
Three, they use words like “I got this, I will succeed, I am not stopping” The have removed words like “I can’t, this is too hard, I don’t have time” from their daily self talk.
Four, they have chosen to SET GOALS. They write their goals down and share with many of us to help hold them accountable. That opens up a tremendous vulnerability because now many will be checking on their progress because we all want to see each other succeed just as much as we want to succeed. S.M.A.R.T. goals to be specific: Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time sensitive. This can be a whole other blog on how to set goals. Comment below if you would like me to do one.
Five, they are learning to grow, learn, and love themselves more and more each day.
Six, they realize they must learn to EAT BETTER and feed their souls better. So in a health and fitness group, we focus on nutrition a ton. In our coaching page, we focus a ton on personal growth and development which in turn feeds their mind and soul to move to greater heights.
Seven, they have DECIDED once and for all, they WILL do this and reach their goals, no matter what ANYONE ELSE SAYS. Have you noticed that with sports teams who win, sometimes win after EVERYONE tells them they WILL NOT? Yes, that is a big push for me. Tell me I can’t or shouldn’t do something and I will show you 10 reasons why I WILL accomplish that goal and I just do it!
These are just a few observations I have made watching many people succeed in our online health and fitness challenge/accountability groups and our coaching pages.
I would like to challenge you to find your TRUE DESIRE AND PASSION and visualize the future that lies ahead that you have the tools to accomplish. Take out a journal and begin writing what you truly want out of life, draw pictures of your dream home, your dream life, an amount you want in your bank account, your goal weight, a picture of an outfit you have always wanted to wear. GREAT , now go out there , find yourself an accountability partner , an accountability group and MAKE SH** Happen! Stop selling yourself short settling for the life you have always lead and go lead the life you DESIRE TO LIVE!
We are always looking for people to join us on a physical, financial transformation journey. There is always room for big dreamers and it is a complete no judgment zone! If you are tired of settling, send me a message with your true desire and passion in life.
