Your Attitude Determines Your Altitude!
The Elite Mindset - Lesson 4
“
Stop saying “someday” and just start doing it today. Whatever the goal is, it’ll likely take 10x more energy and time than you think. You’re not getting younger, time doesn’t wait for you to be ready. There are no perfect conditions, so the longer you wait the less likely you’ll be to act. Just start now!"

Compliance & Attitudinal Assessment
Patience! You’re going to need a lot of it. It’s a life principle! Being patient goes beyond just “waiting”. Exercising patience is your ability to wait and have a good attitude while you do it. Your positive attitude will be an essential catalyst when things are not going the way you want them to.
We need to know ourselves in order to understand what approach to take so we can create a lifestyle change. “Know myself?” It’s a strange thing to say, considering you’ve been stuck with yourself since birth.
A lot of us are merely existing which leaves us unconscious of our habits and our mindset. When we are confronted with a reality check, we become defensive and lock ourselves behind the walls of denial. This does nothing to enhance our life!
For the following test, we are not running away from our reality! Now, we’re going to touch on the physical aspect of things. You will assess your attitude towards exercise.
Getting in shape goes beyond your physical capabilities. Ensure that you remain completely honest as you answer each of these questions. Place number 1, 2, 3 or 4 in the blank space to match your answer below. Take out a sheet of paper and keep your answers in a safe place!

Without a doubt, you are capable of reaching your goals! I like to believe, there is no such thing as an unrealistic goal, just an unrealistic deadline. Once you’re exerting the necessary effort in the right direction over an extended period of time, you will reach your goal.
The last thing you want to do is discount your health. It is undeniably your most important asset and while living long is nice, it’s only enjoyable if you’re healthy. The time is now! No more excuses! It’s yours for the taking, you just need to work for it!
Anything of abundance holds very little value. Excuses happen to fall into this category. There is no shortage of excuses, they are everywhere! The worst part about it is, I hear people create excuses towards a goal that benefits them!
If the end goal is going to create immense value for you, why fabricate illogical reasons as to why you’re not able to do it? There’s always a way. No ifs, ands, or buts about it and I won’t sugarcoat it for you. Everyone has their own struggles and the moment you decide to make no more excuses and stop searching for handouts, you will begin to see results. Once the problem is identified, give all your focus to the solution.
