During your Live Lean journey, it's inevitable that this will happen along the way. You will feel like quitting. But before I get into why that is... Lets back it up for a moment. Remember when you first started your Live Lean journey? You were probably experiencing a newfound sense of excitement and hope for your future. You thought, this time, it'll be different. But as time goes on, you begin to face challenges with sticking to the plan. You hit plateaus as the weight on the scale doesn't seem to be disappearing as fast as it did in the beginning. The voices in your head begin to tell you that all your progress has stopped and you were just destined to be what you see in the mirror. But here's what sets the high achievers from the rest. Most people quit and give up because the results don't seem to be coming fast enough. But the high achievers take a different approach. They reflect. They take a deep breath and realize that this temporary set back, and yes it is TEMPORARY, is just a part of the Live Lean journey. They realize success doesn't just happen overnight and it will take time, effort, perseverance, and patience. They know when they consistently work the Live Lean principles, the Live Lean principles will work for them. In essence, they KILL THE QUIT inside of them. They re-focus on what they want, they believe that they can have it, and they push through with consistent work and patience. So with whatever struggles you're dealing with today. Hang in there. Don’t give up. So next time you're ready to quit, look in the mirror and say these 3 words: KILL THE QUIT. Once you instill that mindset shift, then and only then, will you be on track with your journey of living the life you’ve always dreamed of.
