AN INVITATION TO
TRANSFORMATION
Congratulations.
For what? you ask. Making it all the way to page 1?
Yes, exactly.
Congratulations for being motivated to start on your personal transformation. And for trying to turn the page on everything that has been holding you back.
Thats amazeballs.
But, congratulations as well for being whoever you are right now. People who are willing to take the first step toward life transformation are the strongest people in the world.
The more struggles youve had, the stronger you can be.
IT DOESNT MATTER IF YOURE LOOKING forward to your fifth go-around with INSANITY. Or if you pressed play on one of my workout programs and thought: Insane is right. Im not doing that.
Because the kind of fitness I care most about is inside you.
Its in your mind.
Its in your heart.
And both of those are great places to find strength, because youre in charge there. Nobody else can tell you what to do, or who you are, or how strong you can be.
Its all up to you.
Can you screen out the noise in your life to hear what you need to?
Can you push away the people that tell you it cant be done, and decide for yourself what you can achieve?
Can you trust yourself to handle the stress of change? Can you believe in your ability to succeed now, even if youve fallen short before?
TRUST AND BELIEVE.
You can see why I keep on going back to those two words. Theyre the engines that get me out of bed every day, knowing that Ill be a little farther along toward my goals by bedtime.
You may have to train yourself to trust yourself, and the time to start that training is now. Not that every day will be great. But, even if I have a disappointment or a setback or an injury, I know that trusting and believing will help me understand why I failed, and I formulate a plan to overcome it.
THIS ISNT A GET-YOUR-SH!T-TOGETHER BOOK.
Its a place where youll gather life-changing tools and learn to use them.
It wont happen quickly. Nothing worth achieving ever does.
But, I promise you that its going to feel so good as you move forward that nobody will be able to stop you.
So, dont rush the process. Enjoy it.
You have the power to turn your struggles into strength.
