In a world obsessed with speed and instant gratification, we often forget the power of gradual, deliberate progress.
Rapid “results” and quick wins are sexy – they sell a ton of fitness products.
And they look great on ads.
BUT, they are rarely sustainable.
I went down a rabbit hole this morning about, of all things, the bamboo tree.
It spends its first years building an extensive root system that none of us can see on the surface.
Then, when its ready, it explodes out of the ground.
You ever try to get rid of that stuff?
It’s impossible.
Because it has built a sustainable foundation that is hard to stop.
Our fitness foundation is actually easier, because our “root-building” may only take a month or months if you’ve got a proven strategy.
Your foundation is about:
1. Creating sustainable habits
2. Refining/simplifying your process
3. Consistency
These aren’t going to sell any “30-second abs” workout products.
Or, add 50 yards to your drive by Sunday’s round.
But, it’s what leads to massive results over the long-term.
So, the next time you’re frustrated by your pace of progress…
Remind yourself that you’re building deeper roots.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
