I’d like to add one – “Get Uncomfortable.”

As an Exercise Scientist and Trainer I have spent much of the last twenty-five years helping people change their body. Smaller, bigger, lighter, leaner, more muscle, more flexibility, speed, power… Athletes, non-athletes, kids, mums, dads…..whatever they were after; that’s what I did my best to deliver.

Early in my career I discovered that whether or not someone achieved their desired goals had very little to do with what was possible, or their genetic potential, and everything to do with their ability to deal with discomfort.

If you want an amazing life and you’re all about creating positive change, then learn to deal with, if not embrace, discomfort.

Sorry Dude.
Just how it is.

Keep up the great writing Brendon!
