"You have to run at full throttle to get off the ground" - Brain Tracy


How to fly an airplane
Achieving a goal is tough... I don't care if it is a fitness goal, professional goal or personal goal. Making things happen and realizing success takes WORK. On a daily basis I work with men and women who want to achieve various fitness goals but I am only part of the success equation. I am the control tower providing them with all the information and tools they need to be cleared for take off in the direction of their fitness goals. So why is it that some people, even armed with all the tools they need for success never get off the ground?? I will use the analogy given by Brian Tracy to help make this clear to you. If an airplane were to coast down the run way never picking up speed would it ever get off the ground? When pursuing a goal we MUST tackle them at full throttle, be prepared to work hard and give it EVERYTHING we've got if we want to get off the ground. If you put in the hard work and focus at the beginning you will reach a new place of comfort or cruising altitude, realize your goal and everything else will fall into place. If you try to tackle your goals without any real determination and focus you might make progress but you will never really get off the ground.
New habits are not created overnight, goals are not realize in a seconds and achievement never comes easy.
So the question becomes are you ready to work full throttle and fly or are you going to continue down the runway at half speed forever?
