Do You Seek Pills or Performance?

Why do I talk about pills? Have you ever noticed that if you wanted to lose weight, improve your health, feel better emotionally, gain muscle – with almost any problem people are willing to help you by magic pills, magic processes, or short cuts? I even heard a person who meditates one hour a day, for personal peace and harmony, sell a series of tapes on how for only a few minutes a day you can have the same result that takes you an hour today. How many times a day do you get a get rich quick scheme that only requires a few minutes and “you too can join the rich and famous”?
Just think about it. No more having to exercise, no more having to eat a balanced low calorie diet, no more losing your hair, no more health issues, no more worries about your credit card debt, no more hard work or long hours studying, no more pressure – just take this pill, buy this tape, or follow these 10 simple steps… When your friend falls for one of these lines you may laugh at them, but how many times have you been fooled by wanting to take short cuts to results?
The other option is performance or results. If you want lifelong weight loss, what changes are you making in your lifestyle to get that result. If you want better health, mental or physical, what are you doing about your diet, work habits, stress levels, exercise, and other lifestyle decisions that may impact your health?
I believe it was B. T. Barney who said that “THERE IS A SUCKER BORN EVERY MINUTE.” Well, aren’t we all suckers at some point and time?
Perhaps the biggest sucker is ourselves when we seek to pop a pill to solve a problem that is really only solved by lifestyle changes.
If you want lifetime performance, you have to do what it takes to get the results – the right way.
Are you still looking for pills to pop or to learn how to deliver performance and get the results you want?
