In any aspect of your life, be it fitness, business, relationships, or whatever, if you aren’t learning, you’re standing still. Now, if you’re happy with the level you’ve reached, that’s fine… but if you recognize that your journey isn’t over yet, then it’s time to get busy.
I am thoroughly and utterly convinced that fear is the driving force behind every bad decision we ever make.
Now, don’t be afraid of fear—that’s a scary thought!—just learn to recognize it for what it is.
And now, on with our story.
Once upon a time, there was an idealistic youth (let’s call him John) who believed that [...]
