There’s no point in just coming in, putting in a small amount of effort, and then moving on because you didn’t get the results you wanted quickly enough. In that type of situation you essentially just wasted your time. And even if you’re giving great effort, but only occasionally or some of the time, then you’re also basically just wasting your time. If you’re going to put your time and your energy into anything in life, you need to go all the way with it. You have to max out on your efforts, and you also need to be consistent with your efforts. If you know that you are not going to be consistent with something, if you know you’re not going to stick with it through the bad times, then you’re better off not ever starting in the first place. Make a real commitment, be serious and accountable in regards to that commitment, and give your all — plus some — towards your goals.
