"People asked me 'what was your secret?' And the secret was, I wanted it bad enough."
You want to be impressed? You want to be inspired?
Talk with a person who overcame, accomplished the goal and lives every day with intention-- continually improving. Discipline isn't temporary. It is every day. You should always celebrate your wins. If you are not trying to improve, you are slipping into the warm comfort of gooey mediocrity-- and that's a shame. Once you are on that road to incremental improvement (every day) the sinful departure from that so you can return to the "comfort" of a less disciplined, less enlightened, less powerful version of yourself is indeed tragic. Matt told me, "you can't coast uphill" and life is uphill. So prepare yourself. "It is a continual grind from cradle to grave."
I am grateful Matt Magnusson decided to forge the path and be the example of self-discipline. And, if you do not already know him, you will be too.
