We want what we want and we want it now; and the world in which we live supports that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We want to buy something, we simply go on-line, order it and in some cases, it will arrive the same day.<\/li>\n<li>We are hungry and don\u2019t want to cook, we can order a wide variety of options and have the food delivered in 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Depending on where we buy our groceries, we can have them delivered or order them and then pick them up without even getting out of our cars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This creates unrealistic expectations in many areas of our lives. If we want to master a skill, it takes more than a day to learn it. If we have an injury, it takes more than one visit to a Physical Therapist for it to be better. If we want to lose 10 pounds, it takes more than a one-week change of eating habits. If we want to become fit, one workout will not accomplish that.<\/p>\n<p>This desire for immediate solutions and\/or gratification can impact our ability to achieve greatness. The reality is that some of what we want cannot be achieved within a day \u2013 or a week \u2013 or a month. For those areas in our lives that require change, we must consider putting in the work.<\/p>\n<p>Those who have achieved much success in their lives confirm this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Michael Jordan, the great NBA basketball player said: \u201cI\u2019ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don&#8217;t do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Colin Powell, U.S. Secretary of State and retired four-star general once said: \u201cThere are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Pele, Brazilian footballer (soccer) player shared: \u201cSuccess is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Commitment to anything takes, well, commitment.
