Question:
What’s your #1 goal? Right now. Do you have one?
Statistically, you probably don’t. But if you do, here’s
what I’d like to have you consider: how important is that goal
to you? Have you arranged your entire life in a way that supports
your accomplishment of that goal?

I certainly haven’t (in the case
of the 315 pound power clean).

This article is primarily meant to
inspire some self-analysis - not to provide hard and fast answers.
However, if you’d like some avenues to pursue some serious
reflection, here are a few:

1. Develop self-reliant behavior
- create the mindset that all of your limitations are self-imposed
(because they almost certainly are)

2. Get out of your comfort zone,
and find a way to enjoy it. When your stomach is growling because
you’re hungry, think "Perfect! This is what I need to
experience if I’m going to drop that extra bodyfat!"

3. Find out what works, and then
do more of it. Find out what’s derailing your efforts,
and do less of that.

4. Cultivate dissatisfaction.
After all, that’s why you’re where you are now - you’re
satisfied with it

5. Seek out and cultivate empowering
personal relationships. The people you spend the most time with
have a profound effect on your life. Make sure it’s a profoundly
POSITIVE effect.
