There Is Only One Way To Lift The Weight

There is only one way to lift the weight

I recently started weightlifting.  I have never done this in my entire life before.  I was inspired by a friend who had made dramatic changes to his body.  It's been about six weeks, and I have been consistent six days a week, without fail. 

A few of observations in this new little life experiment:

1.  I absolutely love how I feel when I lift.  It is funny that I spent thirty-three years of my life not feeling this way. I exercised before, but it was only ever cardio.  My willingness to experiment and try something new has led to an incredible discovery of something that I truly enjoy.

2.  I love the feeling of small incremental -+growth.  It feels great to be able to lift more than I did the week before.  I don't really care what the other guys in the gym are lifting.  That isn't my concern.  I get in my own zone and it feels great.

3.  There is only one way to lift the weight.  There are no shortcuts.  I can't will my way to lift more weight than my muscle strength will allow.  I can't wish, or hope for anything other than what I can do.  The sheer "weight" brings reality to awareness really quick.  If I want to be strong, if I want to build my body, there are absolutely no shortcuts.

Your business is exactly the same way.  The more you engage in it, the better you will feel about it.  As you see small growth that growth will make you feel great.  You will get in your own zone, realize you are on your own path, and focus on your own unique goals.

Exactly like the reality of the weight, there is also the reality that there are no shortcuts for you to build your business.  Wishing and hoping will ignite your desire and your passion, but it is your feet that must get moving to build your business.  There are no shortcuts.  Just like there are no shortcuts for me to lift additional weight.  I have to put in the hard time.  I have to be consistent, every single day, and if I do then I will get stronger and stronger, slowly. 

Your business is exactly the same.  If you are consistent, day by day by day, it will grow.  You will see that growth.  You will feel great, but you can't build it by only putting in a little action, on inconsistent time frames.  You have to be consistent.

There is only one way to lift the weight.
