I am reading this book “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” by Tom Venuto again. The reason? It’s simply because the time has come for me to start cutting fat. The hardest task for me, an ectomorph, is over: bulking up. I am very excited to embark on this new journey of cutting fat while keeping my hard-earned muscles. And this book is just what I need.

Anyway, here is a great excerpt from the book that I really want to share with you all:

There is no such thing as failure – only feedback; only results.

Price Pritchett, the author of 25 books including “The Quantum Leap Strategy,” emphasizes that failure is a sign of progress:

“Everything looks like a failure in the middle. You can’t bake a cake without getting the kitchen messy. Halfway through surgery it looks like there’s been a murder in the operating room. If you send a rocket toward the moon, about ninety percent of the time it’s off course – it “fails” its way to the moon by continually making mistakes and correcting them.”

Just because you have not been able to gain muscles does not mean you have failed. It simply means that based on your performance, that is the result/feedback you’ve got. Now, you can either throw in the towel and give up; or you can stay positive and learn from the experience. The battle is not over until you say it’s over.

Remember,

“A quitter never wins. A winner never quits.”
