Good bounce back week after gaining 3 pounds last week, leaving me on the cusp of the century pounds banished milestone. That gives me great motivation to kick in the afterburners this week & hit everything at mach 3.
I apologize for lacking on the support end lately, been experiencing some router issues. Hopefully my son got them fixed yesterday. Hope everyone had a good weekend. I did. Really enjoyed the car show Saturday.
So on to the climb. As the old saying goes, "I'm not telling you it's going to be easy. I'm telling you it's going to be worth it." This week I want the mountain side to focus on the one formula that will deliver us the result we seek. The one set of instructions that will take us to the peak of this mountain & keep us in tune with ourselves for the remainder of our lives, so we never return to the valley; to start this climb again. Three simple words that drive the message deep into our psyche & ingrain it into our being.
DO NOT QUIT.
Did you hear me? DO NOT QUIT. That is the secret the world is searching for to answer weight loss woes. DO NOT QUIT, is the simplicity of the process that has been bastardized by so many out there seeking to sell snake oil to "help us lose weight." DO NOT QUIT, has never been marketed. DO NOT QUIT, is too plain. DO NOT QUIT, is not sexy enough to sell. DO NOT QUIT, isn't long enough to fill air time on an infomercial. People wont buy, DO NOT QUIT.
But I say, DO NOT QUIT delivers. DO NOT QUIT, is what you do after you fall. DO NOT QUIT, will build the better you. DO NOT QUIT, squashes excuses. DO NOT QUIT, stokes the fire of motivation within your soul. DO NOT QUIT, will chisel away the body you have & create the body you want. DO NOT QUIT, will allow you to climb mountains. DO NOT QUIT, will put you on that peak.
Why? Because DO NOT QUIT takes effort. DO NOT QUIT, is no shortcut. DO NOT QUIT, is not available in a pill. DO NOT QUIT, is not available in a liquid. DO NOT QUIT, is not a tangible object. DO NOT QUIT, can not be held in your hand.
Well Jon, if DO NOT QUIT is none of those things, where do I get it? DO NOT QUIT, is a mentality. DO NOT QUIT, is a mental state of being. DO NOT QUIT, is a mindset that must be adopted, in order to free you, from that you wish to escape. DO NOT QUIT, is in each of us. We just have to find it.
Well Jon, what do I do when I find it? You'll know.
Now, strap on your gear this fine morning gang. Let's go climbing. There's a mountain out there waiting to be conquered.
