The Journey of a Thousand Miles

Here we are. At a beginning.

What happens next, depends on you.

How many times have you wanted to start something? Or, how many times did you actually start something, but didn’t see it through?

We see it all the time in the fitness world. You go buy the latest (expensive) online fitness program, maybe the new pair of running shoes, and a boatload of supplements. You are ready to go this time. Nothing will stop you. And yet, most people fail I’m sticking with their plan. Why does it feel so difficult, why does it feel like you lack willpower?

The truth is, relying on your willpower is a sure-fire way to eventually abandon your plan. That’s because willpower is finite and runs out. That’s why what you do at the beginning of your journey is so critical. And the most important thing you can do when you start is to make the decision to do one simple thing every single day that will lead you in the direction of your goals.

Seems simple doesn’t it? Yet, that is the power of habit. When you decide from the beginning that you were going to do something, especially if it starts out very small and very easy, you create a new habit. And if you stick with it a little bit every single day, that habit will build, and you won’t need to make that decision ever again.

Want to be a runner? Great! Decide right now that every single, day, you will run to the end of the street and walk back. That’s something you can do very easily. Now, watch that habit to see how it builds. Next week, maybe you decide to run to the end of the street, and this time, you run back. Still easy, but you’re making progress! Before long, maybe you sign up for your first 5k, and after running every day for 6 months, you now would call yourself a runner.

And, well, this is ours. We’re taking a leap to create our new company. It’s scary and overwhelming at times, but we have decided to do something, every single day, that gets you the results you want. And, to quote from one of our favorite books-

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

-The Tao Te Ching
