There’s an interesting statistic I saw that said that ~70% of lottery winners will end up broke within five years.
⠀
What the flip is that about, right - surely you’d be made for life, no bills etc? Well, the biggest reason is this:
⠀
THEY GOT THE GOAL WITHOUT DOING THE PROCESS.
⠀
Let’s imagine that one day a magic genie appears out of nowhere and says, “Hey Bully, I’m going to grant you your wish of having the body of your dreams.”
⠀
And Shazam, the next day I wake up and, true to his word, the genie has given me the body I always wanted.
⠀
But as the days turn into weeks turn into months you all notice something odd happening...I’m slowly reverting back to my former self.
“What the flip is going on?”
⠀
As if on cue, the genie reappears and explains that “LOL, you never learned how to maintain your new body so, well, you’re losing it. Sucks to be you. Anyway, I have to go now. Bye.”
⠀
Just like the lottery winners got the goal without the process, in this made up scenario I got the body without the process. Just like the lottery winners never learned how to save, invest, and manage their new wealth: I never learned the things required to maintain my new physique.
⠀
Which is why the process is far more important than the end goal because it’s not about getting the body we all want but the person we become. Those who venture into using 0zempic will find the same, there will be scale weight losses but this will also include muscle. The one type of ‘weight’ you need to hold onto. This rapid weightloss does nothing for the person to create the correct habits and nutrition for lifelong health.
