Most of us are able to see and understand any type of physical transformation that happen to us, such as losing weight or gaining muscle. However, we are not so easily able to observe and understand mental transformations by the simple fact that mental transformations are invisible and, so many times, unconscious.
After many years of training, I have noticed that regular physical exercise has led me to upgrade many skills that I didn’t have before. Of course, most of those skills are related to my body and how it looks and feels physically. However, the most important ones are directly linked to my mind such as discipline, self-motivation and consistency.
As humans, we are able to change and to transform, however, many people just wait for those changes, they dream about it, but they never take any action to reach their full potential.
In fact, everything that we do today, will dictate who we are in 5 years’ time. In saying that, what is the key for success? What’s the key to create a positive change? What’s the key for happiness with your body and your life?
In my opinion, the most important key to achieve positive changes, success and happiness is the ability to identify and to acquire new skills. We should never accept that, “we are what we are”. That is simply not the truth.
We are who we want to be. We are what we do each day.
Hard work is necessary and we should educate ourselves to set up SMART goals and to acquire new skills daily and to create positive daily habits.
As Angela Duckworth once said, “Enthusiasm is common, but endurance is rare.”
To achieve our goals and to make positive changes we must have the “white belt” mindset for our entire journey. We must look to learn in every single situation and take advantage of this transformations for a positive change.
We all know that fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. So do not be afraid to fail, do not be afraid to try things that you are not good at, and never be afraid to learn.
To have a happy and successful life, we must believe in ourselves and we must go inside ourselves to find greatness. We must read every day, we must train every day, we must eat healthy every day and the most important thing is that we must acquire new skills and challenge our old version of ourselves. Every single day.
