Are you bigger and stronger today than you were yesterday?

If you keep training properly, never skip a meal, never skip a training session, never miss even an hour of your 8-hour night sleep, then you have nothing to worry about. You think it is ridiculous to be able to keep that up for an extended amount of time? Nah, impossible is nothing. I have done it for a year now. And I know many other people who have done it too. Look at Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Taylor Lautner, Christian Bale and many other celebrities. You think you are busier than them? They all transformed their body from scrawny to brawny in almost no time.

It is actually better to transform your body that way–in less than a year. Set a single goal of gaining 15 or 50 pounds of pure muscle (of course it takes different amount of time), and get to work. If you stick to your rigid training program for 12 weeks, you should be able to gain at least 15 pounds. It is much better to give 100% of your energy and focus to training than 80%. That 20% difference determines whether you will reach your goal in 12 weeks or never reach it (e.g. daily intake of 3000 calories is your maintenance level, while 3500 calories means an increase of at least one pound of muscle after one week. That 500 calories is one meal different, i.e. about 20% different, but it dictates whether or not you will gain muscle. (Many other factors go into your training, but this is just one simple example).

So every day must matter. Do you get closer to your goal today than yesterday, or are you standing still or even falling backward? Focus on your goal. Give a 100 percent attention to it. That will save you more time and energy than you can imagine now. Remember, it maybe only a 10% or 20% difference in your effort, but it makes all the difference. Stay focus till you reach your goal.

This is a quote that I really like: “The first law of success is concentration – to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the right or to the left.”

RECAP: Every day matters! You must give a 100% of your effort and focus on your goal. Even a 10% lower effort makes all the difference between reaching your goal in time or NEVER reaching it.
