Check out this part of a facebook conversation I had with my buddy yesterday* over this whole “change your profile picture to fight child abuse” bullshit…

*Yes, that was actually a back in October-ish, but I suck and forgot to click “publish”. My bad.

“So now I keep a close eye on my pets. Because they make most of they moves off of instinct and sense. It’s eat, sleep, fuck and self defense, so straight you can set your clocks and place bets” – Trying to Find a Balance, Atmosphere.

I do what I do because it’s what I want to do. Obviously there are reasons for these things, some better than others, but either way nothing in my life is done at random or “just because”. Sometimes it’s because it’ll help me with my career, sometimes it’s because it’ll help me stronger/faster and sometimes it’s just because it seems like it’ll be fun or cool. I’m willing to bet you’re the same way too. Maybe you think you do things just because, but if you take a step back and think about it there was a reason. I never said it had to be a good reason, but there is a reason behind every action you take on a daily basis.

I’m in the list-making mood again. But instead of being a Negative Nancy and telling you what you should stop doing, I’m going to fill you in on things you might not be doing that will help reach your goals.

1) Setting Goals: Speaking of goals, do you have some? Are they tangible? Written down? Realistic? Have an end date? Posted in a manner that you’ll be forced to see them multiple times everyday?

If not, you better get on that. This is by far one of the easiest things you can do to get on track. The key here is to make it tangible. “Getting in better shape” might sound good, but it’s not tangible. “Losing 20 pounds by next week” isn’t realistic. You can try to drop that much weight, but with the exception of liposuction, 99.999999% of the people out there will not be able to do it in a healthy manner.

Goal setting is a balancing act. Make the goal lofty enough to motivate you, but not so much so that it is completely out of reach. Set an end date that you want to reach it by, but don’t set it so far out that you can half-ass it and still reach it. Challenge yourself, hold yourself accountable and become that competitive asshole who will do anything to achieve those goals.
