"Are your goals really your goals?" - @andyfrisella CEO of @1stphorm supplements. I heard this at the beginning of 2017. While I do not take any of the 1st Phorm supplements, I could not have more admiration for the athletes and the company’s positive impact on the fitness industry. . . This quote really stuck with me and has more than any other inspirational or motivational slogan because of how real it is. In the beginning of any journey we all set goals. But then things happen and life gets in the way and some how we all loose sight of our goals and then don’t achieve what we had intended too. . . For me this is reality. Every new years I would set the goal of “finally get my body where I want it to be” or “loose weight for summer” or something to that effect. And guess what? I never got there. I would make it maybe 10 weeks and then I would fall off the wagon and end up back where I started. . . This year when I heard this quote it was at the perfect time. I was setting goals for the year but this year was different because my goals were more about performance than aesthetics. So every day since then I have asked myself “are your goals really your goals?” because if they are, then what are the small actions you are doing every day that are going to get you where you want to be? Those small actions are what define your real goals. If you are making excuses for what is happening that is “preventing you” from reaching your goals, then you need to reevaluate those goals. . . Consistency is the name of the game friends. Think about whether or not you are being honest with yourself day in and day out about what your goals are and if your everyday actions are in fact a reflection of that. Because in the end, if you aren’t thinking about your goals every single day and paying attention to them, they will only be dreams
