Of course, then
trick is to keep pedal to metal. That's where passion and determination comes in. But as successes are achieved, morale goes up. As morale goes up, confidence soars. Now it becomes easier to keep car on road and momentum up.
Decisions are different from wishes. "I wish I could lose this extra 30 pounds," or "I wish my back pain would go away," or simply, "I wish I felt better," are all coming from an assumption that these conditions we're wishing out of cannot change. A wish is a feeble desire, and hardly a decision. A decision is something you make with your heart and soul. It's something you write down, something you declare without reservation--something you embrace as a reason for living. And in this way, your heart and soul work together to give you power to plow through all crap that is preventing change. In fact, it is precisely difficulties you confront after making your decision that are holding unwanted condition in place. Therefore, when challenges to your decision rear their ugly heads, you know you're headed in right direction. Nothing changes easily, and it is a measure of a person's character to be able to step back and observe big picture revealed during trials and tribulations on road to achieving goal.
With a firm heart-and-soul decision, everything becomes advantage, and each apparent "setback" is pure gold of insight. Then, from seeing one's way through freedom is attained because that unwanted cross to bear can never again weigh you down. With that new-found freedom comes new energy, and after a while, what seemed like a mountain becomes proverbial mole hill.
