Quit now or Quit later?

Did you ever wonder why some people are successful in everything they undertake while others never seem to get anywhere really?

I've seen it all too many times in martial arts and the same is true in any other field.

Desire meets Action.

Before long, you realize some work has to be done before you can call yourself a martial artist.

Stickability is 95% ability.

What's common is getting discouraged in the early stages of your training when you feel uncoordinated, stiff and out of shape.

That, I can kind of understand, like all things new, a certain adaptation time is required so you can finally start moving naturally.

Mentally at this stage, the strong are separated from the weak.

What puzzles me are the ones that actually get the results they were looking for, like losing weight, increasing flexibility and strength, building confidence and character, developing skill and proficiency and then slowly see them slide into complacency.

Which is better quitting in the beginning or quitting in the end?

Neither one of them.

Turn your stickability to "high" so you can experience the joys of finishing what you start while realizing the path of self-mastery has no end to it, just a series of steps, moving you upward in your evolution.
