Do you ever find yourself wanting something more? Something different? Something better? What if I told you the only thing holding you back from that ‘something’ – was just a thought?

So here’s the thing about committing…you can’t try to commit to something. You have to decide up front that you’re all-in, that it’s a non-negotiable. It’s getting up at 4am to get to the gym by 5am, now matter how sore or tired you are, or how comfortable your bed is. It’s staying home on […]
