The Before And After Project - Step 6

Before I get into Step 6 - anyone who wishes to learn more about 'The Before And After Project can do so at http://www.TheBeforeandAfterProject.com

Ok - so here is Step 6...

As I sat down to type this 6 emails came into my inbox - 3 of then were New Order Notices for DVD sales, 1 of them was from a business contact and 2 of them were spam/hoax diet/fitness product marketing emails.

Now, I get alot of these and I ignore them. But I realized that these things keep going to millions of people because many people place false hope on the fact that some magic pill does or will exist which will hold the key to their dream body.

Messages like these are around us all the time in every form of media, trying to capture your mind, increase your emotional pain and then sell you magic in a bottle or something closely related. This method is used so much because it works. I guess you can say '(false) hope springs eternal profits' for these types of companies.

Here is the problem it creates for people who are unsuccessful in their fitness quest. It is human nature to look for 'the next best thing'. As if there is a program that could be better or easier than one that is currently being followed. It is one reason why many people are yo-yo dieters - "This new one might be better - so I'm going to try that one."

The point I'm trying to make here is you must take your focus off all the distractions 'on the outside' and focus on 'your plan', which comes from inside you.

What distracts you? What dislodges your internal focus and crushes your willpower (by the way - we all have willpower in UNLIMITED amounts - the question is do you know how to tap into your unlimited supply of willpower?)

Within your reach is everything you need to know in order to 'get where you want to be' - Take a look at your self from the outside - act as your own trainer and start guiding your self toward your goals (of course I'm here to help...) - Most people generally know the things they 'need to do' - most just don't do those things - or they don't do them long enough to SEE the benefits.

Don't allow yourself to be distracted - teach yourself about the vulnerability of your 'hope' and pre-plan your reaction to the chaos that goes on in the world around you.

Don't be an object that is acted on - be a force that exhibits a necessary amount of control in your environment (this is little known 'law of the universe' - and it is a method by which many BIG people in this world have risen to tremendous success).

OK - time to get back to work (writing The Blow-Torch Diet book)...

Six weeks to go before all 'before and after' photos and stories must be in, in order to be considered for a feature spot in the book.

BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE !

As always please excuse the typos...
