Everyone wants success yesterday. They want to have abs in 6 weeks, they want to hold a handstand after one day of practicing, they want to squat double bodyweight without putting the work in.
The reality is that people are not enjoying the journey of working towards the goal. This is a hugely rewarding part of the process that many people miss out on because they give up too soon.
I have set myself a goal of holding a Front Lever, which is an advanced core exercise. I have been working on this for around 2 years and still have a long way to go before I nail it. However, there has been nothing more rewarding and satisfying than making small incremental improvements over the 2 years. There has been moments of frustrations and disappointments but it is all part of the process. When you see that slight improvement it is a great feeling.
Hard work, consistent hard work, will alway pay off. No matter what the goal is, in life or training, you have to accept that there will be a journey that requires hard work and consistency. People that struggle with reaching their goal fail to recognise and embrace this.
The key to real long lasting success is immersing yourself in the process, whether it be weight loss, getting stronger, having a successful business or anything that you want to achieve.
Enjoy the struggle, it will always pay off.
