I need to get a kettlebell for home. I miss training with them.

I've noticed that with clients, that when they train or follow something for 90 days, the habit is engrained in their brains, whereas most people tend to quit after 30 days (which is why I never train anyone for less than 2 months, because sometimes, 30 days produces results not visible enough). You seem to all have discipline, which makes you leaders of the pack. You acted your way into proper thinking, so now you just think your way into proper actions! However, I have to commend you on training with kettlebells! I was introduced to them "properly" in May 2008 (by myself before that. Mistake, but it led to the right path) and the evolution of my training, as a coach as practitioner allowed me to better understand the movements required in "kettlebelling" I have to add that you really need 90 days to truly develop a habit.

I started the "new habit" thing this year and tried REALLY pushing myself out of my comfort zone in order to get to where I wanted to be. And it was hellishly tough - but when you regularly make an effort at something and quit taking the easy route, the places you'll go and how much you'll grow, even in a period of 30 days, can be astonishing. I'm definitely heading over to read your blog! What an awesome post.

You sure are right about cheating. When I thought I was cheating in some way, and doing great, I was actually missing the concept. You tell this to a young person, and they might think you are just keeping them from the rewards of cheating, but when you tell it to an adult, they understand the message. Doing more is sometimes a cover-up for not achieving more. It can only last for so long. It is a good thing when we separate the two, as we can see what gets us further down the road. Hey Oscar.

The 30 days to develop a habit is something really important. I think that alot people get to that 30 day mark for example and don't push past it because they don't see their result from something (i.e. affirmations,kettlebell, etc.) That's a big mistake because that's one of the times when you'll make the most progress. Cheating is one of those things like taking shortcuts because in the long run it leads to more work. I like the more is not better piece because it's quality over quantity that will always produce better results. Oscar,

I have my opinion on "life is like ..." and "By doing *this or that*, you'll learn a lot about life" articles. I believe that doing anything will teach you a lot about life if done consciously, and everything (since it's a "child element" of it) can be compared to life itself. But this is just me, for thousands of others these are very good headlines. And as you can see, it motivates the cynic like me to comment, too :) Apart from my cynicism regarding the headline, I believe you took the examples really cleverly. These could all be stock phrases, but it looks like you gave them a unique touch (especially with "cheating is for losers") All in all, I think this is a nice article :) Best, Zoli Oscar,
