176. NEWSFLASH: You're Supposed to Fail

This episode is filled with things I just have to get off my chest. Over the last few months, I've noticed a lot of people quitting on themselves over challenges and experiences that are simply part of the process when you're pursuing self improvement. And that bums me out. Because this entire journey isn't supposed to be easy, and the worst thing you can do is quit. In fact, quitting is the only way you can actually screw this entire health and fitness thing up. The first topic we'll tackle in today's episode is the concept of "messing up" and subsequently quitting on yourself. I'll explain how messing up is actually a confirmation that you're about to get to the good stuff in your journey. The second topic is folks who are always waiting for the "right time" to get started, and how it's never going to come unless you just get started. Because I have to tell ya... As a father of three, with a wife who has a demanding career, and being a business owner myself personally, we kept waiting for life to slow down, only to eventually realize that time ain't coming until it's too late! Most of the reasons we refuse to start, or quit all together, are completely made up. They're in your head. And if you can get past those feelings and simply focus on the work required, you'll find yourself exactly where you want to be in time. This episode will probably offend some people, and I'm OK with that. It's not my intention, but sometimes when you rant and put the truth out there in plain terms, it can rub people the wrong way. But I hope it doesn't offend you. I hope it inspires you to take action NOW. Hope it helps! ~ Chris ---------- Learn about 1-on-1 online fitness coaching » https://chrisgatesfitness.com/coaching/
