    When Jocko said:
    "Why... Why did you let that happen?" I felt that to my core.
    Lately I've been feeling reinvigorated and refocused with new found determination. This video came at a perfect time. Thank you.

    Like a lot of people one of my long term goals is to build muscle. This goal is a little different because I will never actually complete it. I will never be satisfied. It was difficult to motivate myself most days. I knew where I wanted to be, but I wasn't getting that instant gratification. To fix this problem I made myself a new workout plan. I workout everyday and I also write one motivational thing to myself everyday to remind myself why. Because even subconsciously, you are asking yourself why. Why are you pushing yourself so hard for something that has no definite end? I have been doing this for 14 days so far. I have seen more progress in those 14 days both physically and mentally than I have in the past 6 months. I wasn't even expecting to see a change for the 1st 2 months. I have to workout outside because there is no space for me inside. Since I started it has rained almost every day, but I continue to go out. So far my main thought that has kept me going is, " I don't expect you to be motivated 100% of the time. I expect you to be committed 100% of the time." My point is pay attention, write your goal down, know why you want it, and keep pushing.

      The thing that's dangerous with setting fitness goals for most people, is ironically... achieving them. Because people think of a goal as "Im doing all this hard work to get to that, once I get there I can stop working". Which is not true with fitness, physical training should never stop.

    You have all simultaneously saved many from a life of an ignorant, unrealized potential, and soul-crushing existence, while providing the inspiration and pathway forward and beyond.

    Best advice I got is to set habits. Take your goal and work it backwards - What is something you could do, every single day, that would move the needle? Figure out what the daily minimum viable habit is and just hold the discipline to do at least that.
    Example: Wanna write a movie? One page a day produces 3 first drafts. Even if you only worked the week days you'd still produce 2 without much trouble.
    For some tactical and strategic advice check out James Clear's "Atomic Habits".

    1-Write (pen and paper) your goals down.
    2-Make them few and simple.
    3-Look at them every day as soon as you get up, no matter what.
    4-Re-write them every Sunday.
    5-Repeat the process UNTIL you reach them all.

    I am-was- a chef. Over 20 years of cooking. Covid 19 decimated my industry, so I had to find something else. I joined the Apple Developer Program and began studying code. Swift, C++, Xcode. It is that hardest thing I have done in my life. My long term goal is to make money creating apps for Apple or to work for a company that does. First, I have to learn a new language (coding) and I am about to give it up. Been doing it for three months now and have only seen little progress.

    @iordanchis2437 7 месяцев назад

    A long term goal is only a long term goal as long as it comes from deep within you.
    It has to be rooted within a deep desire that stems from your very soul, it must be understood and planned for by your mind.
    Look at a feeling you want to feel, then think of what must you do, în order to keep feeling that on a regular basis.
    You want to help others, because u liked the feeling u got when someone helped u? You might consider becoming a teacher or A mentor, as long as you are good at a given subject.
    You wanna look like a greek God, you know you have to keep working out.
    If you truly want to keep your dreams alive, you will not stop when failure comes knocking at the door. You must look for ways to keep on going. A change of protocol will be needed. That is OK. The requirements, to keep on going, change as you evolve.
    Remember what you want to achieve, remember why your soul wants you to achieve it and you will have the power to keep on going.
