Accountability

                We as people are capable of doing magnificent things in our life time. We have built extraordinary structures, developed technology that we never thought would be possible outside of a Sci-Fi movie, moved thousands of people at once with mere words and could hold the weight of an entire country on a single pair of shoulders and still succeed. We are built to last a long time, and obviously through advances in medical science and exercise; we last longer than we ever have nowadays. What do all these powerful, progressive people have in common? Not all of them were rich. Not all of them possessed a college education. So what was it?

                One of the significant things all of these people have in common is they were held accountable for their own decisions and action. Be it personal accountability or no, there was some person or something in their lives that pushed them to keep going until the finish line was crossed. When it comes to changing your life for the better and making good decision, it is always a good idea to get all the help you can get. Obviously we are all motivated differently and this article will help you realize how you are better motivated and how to capitalize on this knowledge. Knowing this about you could make all the difference in your success.

                People do not like being told what to do. I feel that goes for the majority of the population. However, being instructed on how to keep your progression coming is a totally different thing. If you already know you cannot make positive changes by yourself, I would suggest you seek someone to help you stay accountable. Be it a; Personal trainer, nutrition coach, therapist, spouse or best friend, any of these people can help bring you a step further closer to your personal goals. Again, I you know that your workouts aren’t up to par when you train by yourself or you do not even make it to the gym, invest in yourself. Sure, it will cost money up front and you will have to be slightly uncomfortable but the end results are worth everything you put it and more.

                Obviously if you have no problem being told what to do, I would like to think you would have no problem finding your way to the gym to take care of yourself. I would like to propose a challenge to the consistent members of the gym to invest in you. Find a trainer who can challenge you and get you on a whole different level and teach you a few new things in the process. Just because you aren’t in bad shape or overweight, does not mean you couldn’t use a trainer or a training partner to improve.

                Whatever the case may be, the last thing you want to do is being what they call a “Maintenance Phase”. Once you say,” I’m Maintaining” you slowly begin to start going back to where you were. Remember,” If you stand around to long while going to where you want to be, you will start getting lost in the crowd of the average and the mediocre.” – SeanB
