Its not (entirely) your fault

Why am I super successful Software executive, a super healthy gym rat and a laser focused goal-slayer....while you and your peers aren't?

Because statistically, that's the way it works.

Over 90% of people who start a diet, fall off and regain the weight. Over 80% of people who buy a self-help book don't finish it, and of those who DO finish it never act on the things they learn.

People hate change and hate hard work.
It's just their nature.

It's not your fault.

We're told every day to grind, work hard, apply yourself .... believe in yourself.
"You can do it!" you're told.

Maybe you can't.
Hey, it's not really your fault.

Exceptional people are successful BECAUSE they're exceptional. Yes, they work hard. And "yes", you can work hard too.

But you have to work hard every single day.
Every hour of every day.
You have to play hard, too.
Hell, you even have to sleep hard.

But that's not you, right?
I mean, you're not adverse to hard work. But EVERY DAY?  That's nutty, isn't it?

When the weather is awful out, you don't really want to go to the gym....right?
When you hear "no" 100 times ,,, it's time to go home and recharge, right?
And if you get less than 7 hours of sleep, you're just miserable...aren't you,

It's not entirely your fault.
You've got good qualities!  You're nice. People like you. You have a good heart. You use your directional signal when you drive on the highway.

You just aren't mega wealthy with zero-percent body fat.

And that's because life works that way.
Statistically, your odds of being exceptional for long periods of time are VERY low.

Maybe you're just "average"
That's not so bad.
"Below" average? That's not good.
But average isn't awful.

So embrace your inner average.
It feels a lot better than 4 hours of sleep and diet devoid of carbs,,,,right?
