3 Questions You Should Have an Answer To (Before Starting your Committment)

Hey! Listen! (Zelda reference nub). Answer these questions below, then check yes or no if you like me. Go.

1) What do you want? Simple question and a simple answer, but without knowing exactly what it is you want to gain (or lose in our case), then it'll be very tough getting your ass off the couch and gettin busy. Ex: I want a six pack and no chubby cheeks.

2) How are you going to get there? Write it down, start a blog, tell someone about it, find a remote that fast forwards through time to a point where you are what you want to be in what seems to be at first a comedic atmosphere but later turns out to be a sad and tragic story, then wake up and realize you need to experience all of life and some things are worth more than others. Have a plan.

3) Is it worth it? Perhaps the deepest and most important question of all, but the answer is again simple. You are going to have to make sacrifices and you will struggle - do the ends justify the means? For us it was a hell yes, but some commitments are harder than others. Make sure you think about this one, because it's a loaded question. I never said to ask yourself "why are you committing?" because this one covers it.

Rob and I didn't sit down together and write down answers to all these questions. Hell, we didn't even ask ourselves them. We know what we want, we know how we are going to get there, and we know that in the end it will be worth it.The most important part is acting on it. E.g. Stop picturing me slathered in caramel, eat your first vegetable, ask the hottest girl in school on a date. They all seem impossible, but you won't get anywhere unless you try. So don't bother asking yourself when you're going to start. If you do that you'll have room for second thoughts. Just do it.
