Force the Future – Start Messy

After a lot of thought, research, and meetings, I finally broke down and hired a trainer. I chose Naylor Body Design, and I couldn’t be happier with the decision.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned so far is that you can’t do everything at once. Each new action my trainer gives me is designed to build a new habit — not just a quick fix, but a lifelong skill. That requires patience. It demands focus. It challenges me to slow down, master one thing at a time, and accept that starting messy is part of the process.

Sure, I would love instant results. If it were easy, I would have already hit all my body composition and fitness goals. But lasting change doesn’t come from doing everything perfectly right away. It comes from embracing the messy start, showing up, and committing to the slow build.

Force the future — even if you have to start messy. It’s the only way real growth happens.

Stick to the Plan

I hope you are enjoying the New Year.

Did you make any resolutions? If you did, take comfort in the fact that many are navigating the challenges of their New Year’s Resolutions. It is never easy to make change permanent, and permanence is the point of a New Year’s resolution. The key is to take incremental steps. Desmond Tutu, who I had the privilege to see speak, once said, “There is only one way to eat an elephant, one bite at a time.” The same goes for making changes permanent. You cannot do it all at once. You have to take small, continual steps. You have to be consistent. You have to be patient. You have to stick to the plan. (The better the planning, the more permanent the change)

Now is the time when self-doubt about this year’s change will creep into your mind. Find strength in the reason why you want to make this change and visualize what life will look like for you once this change is made. Stick to the Plan

Good luck.

Happy New Year.

Just Be Better.

Stay Healthy, Stay Strong.
