The difference between Need, Want, and Desire
By building a daily system first thing in the morning, you will be inspired to add other consistent regimes to your life, in regard to what you eat and how often; when you work out and how often; paying bills, shopping, and everything from making your bed, to hanging your clothes, to spending time with your family. Consistency is the key to success. Avoid distracting yourself with the things that are not on your list. Make consistency your priority and watch how wonderfully often you accomplish things that used to always seem to be on the back burner, but never done.

What “FOREVER” means to me
There was a roller blade trail I used to skate on every lunch hour. I was closing in on 40 years old, had my third son, and looked forward to a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona in a few months. I was in the best shape of my life in a life filled with great shape. I had goals, time, determination, perseverance and will. The trail had a few hills, some good straight-aways, smooth pavement and challenging curves.
I had just passed a walking man for the third time. He was probably in his late 60’s. Finally, he was able to catch me before I’d passed, with the question, “What are you training for? “ He had a smirk on his face, as if he expected some “triathlon” response, like he discovered me, or spied some elite, secret drill since my intensity was so joyfully evident. But I looked back without losing stride and said with a smirk of my own, “Life!”
THOUGHT, WORD & DEED
THOUGHT, WORD & DEED are the summary for SYSTEM. If you feel uncomfortable in your body, either by pain, performance or ability, you must draw your thoughts to improvement. Once it’s thought out, you write a plan with goals or find a workout you’d like to follow. You can add strength and stability to your torso, add power to your swing, or speed to your movement. But you must lay out a plan to follow and then follow through, by showing up, one day, ready to exercise. The showing up, the attempt, by sheer diligence and perseverance is the deed that proves to your mind and outline that you’re capable of change and improvement.
The more you begin THINKING of how you’d like to change your body, the better the PLAN you create to move toward your goals. The clearer the plan and vision the more effective each workout becomes. The more focused and specific the exercises, the sooner you reach your physical goals. The results, in turn, lead you back to thinking MORE about your workouts, body, and diet; leading to more plans, more workouts, more results. Paying attention is what it’s all about. The less you care about your body and your health, the more it goes away – literally and figuratively. The closer the attention, the better, faster and more continuous the development. Maintenance becomes The Way. You develop a Strategy for Yearly improvement. You incorporate Synergy through Trial of all the Elements, bringing them together with consistent Motivation toward ultimate yet evolving goals. You have in place, a SYSTEM. A Simple, Structured Training system. SST!
