Remember: we all get what we tolerate. So stop tolerating excuses within yourself, limiting beliefs of the past, or half-assed or fearful states. Use your body as a tool to snap yourself into a place of sheer will, determination, and commitment.

And from that place, when you take massive action-with an effective and proven strategy-you will rewrite your history.

If there's anything you want to do and you can't figure out why you're not doing it, there's a simple answer: you link more pain to doing it than not doing it.

If you don't have money there's only one reason: you link more pain to having more money than to not having it.
