How well do you honor your word? How often do you honor your word? Ask yourself those question and be brutally honest with your answer. 2. We often quit when we know we shouldn't. I don't think all types of quitting are bad but the question is do you quit when it gets tough — even when you know it's the right thing for you. I used to quit and whine a lot, but I've learned that to get things done you have to push through the difficult times. Remember, there is always a solution to your problem. 3. How well trained are you for the type of life that you want? This point stuck out to me. You heard how in the Navy SEALs they train through hellish circumstances. Although we will never see combat, we will face situations that will test us. And here's the question, how well trained are you for that? What an incredible story! After such a powerful interview I would love to know: What can you do to be better? Please, post you answer in the comment section or email me at ted@legendarylifepodcast.com .

How can you become slim by design, without starving? On today's episode, Dr. Brian Wansink introduces groundbreaking solutions for designing our most common spaces--schools, restaurants, grocery stores, and home kitchens, among others--to make positive changes in how we approach and manage our diets. Get ready to a slimmer you. Listen Now! Brief Bio: Brian Wansink (Ph.D. Stanford 1990) is the John Dyson Endowed Chair in the Applied Economics and Management Department at Cornell University, where he directs the Cornell Food and Brand Lab.

Wansink's award-winning academic research on changing eating behaviors has been published in the world's top marketing, medical, nutrition and obesity journals. It contributed to the introduction of smaller "100 calorie" packages (to prevent overeating), the use of taller glasses in some bars (to prevent the overpouring of alcohol), and the use of elaborate names and mouth-watering descriptions on some chain restaurant menus (to improve enjoyment of the food). His results have been presented, translated, reported, and featured in television documentaries on every continent but Antarctica.

The most valuable and prized possession is our health. Without our health, we wouldn't be able to achieve the things we want to in our life, go places we want to go and do things we want to do. Over time with the rise in the consumption of processed food and the advancement of technology more and more people have turned away from taking care of their bodies. These bad habits along with the expectation for everyday comforts have created an increase in illness and lack of peak performance in the body. We have literally lost control of what goes on in our body and in our health. But I want you to know that there is another choice if you practice treating yourself well. If you are ready to have the energy to do what you really want in life and the mental clarity and motivation to make it happen, you should listen to this episode now and get access to my free video training! I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say to me, "We're all going to die, so what's the point of putting in all the effort just to be healthy?" What's the point of working out and eating healthy if I don't enjoy it? Look, I get it, why shouldn't you want to give into every desire and temptation that comes your way. As great as that sounds, the reality is acting on every impulse is going to leave you riddled with disease, lacking energy, lacking the ability to function and dependent. Ask yourself these questions: Wouldn't I rather live more years so that I can truly live life to the fullest? Isn't part of enjoying life having lots of energy and minimal pain? Can I live a fulfilled life when I am held down with extra weight and disease? What would life be like if I couldn't do simple tasks, like playing with my children? Do I enjoy being tired all the time? Can I afford to be unhealthy? Why should you make the effort to be healthy? Eventually, every day begins and in the first few minutes, you will have to face yourself day after day and the effects of living a life out of control. I used to be that guy; I've spent years harming myself and dreaded facing the day because of how horrible I felt. Now, I wake up excited and ready take on the day because I started taking better care of myself. I want you to feel excited about your life too and health and fitness is the foundation for that to happen. I want you to know that there is another choice if you practice treating yourself well. If you exercise, eat well, drink enough water, and get good quality of sleep. Positive actions will reap positive memories and a deep meaningful sense of accomplishment and a sense of, "I'm doing the right thing for myself." If you're guilty of focusing all your energy on working hard and trying to make more money instead of focusing on health. And your health is deteriorating, the pounds are coming on, your waistline is increasing and your blood pressure and cholesterol is going up. I want you to know that it is preventable but it starts with making a decision to take action. Take control of your health That's why I put together my free video series: How to Take Control of your Health and Fitness in 2017, yes even if you're busy. I don't want you to become another statistic. Another person who didn't have the energy to do what they really wanted in life because of their body or who didn't have the mental clarity and motivation to make it happen. Watch this limited-time free video training series and finally get your health and fitness handled in 2017. I wanted to let you know that we're shutting down enrollment for the Legendary Coaching Program Sunday at MIDNIGHT Est. Time.

There's an old saying that goes "some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it." The commitment to work is often what separates successful people from the dreamers, the people who make the same resolutions every year but never follow through. In this episode, I will discuss why so many people find it hard to commit and teach you easy solutions that you can incorporate into your busy routine right away. Also, if you're ready to commit to the work and finally achieve your goals this year, get my free video training now and make 2017 your best year ever. IT'S ONLY ELEVEN days into the New Year and most well-intentioned resolutions have already bit the dust. Of course they have. Are you surprised? Want to know why? I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. BUT BEFORE YOU START TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE, PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND SIGN UP FOR OUR FREE VIDEO TRAINING CALLED HOW TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS IN 2017. IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT TRANSFORMING YOUR HEALTH, BODY, AND LIFE IN 2017, THIS IS THE RIGHT TRAINING FOR YOU. START TO WATCH TODAY. IT'S FREE BUT FOR A LIMITED TIME. BACK TO THE EPISODE…. Commitment Issues IF YOU LOOK at successful people in any field, you'll find that they're not necessarily the brightest, best looking, fastest or the strongest of the bunch. What you will find is that they understand that all great accomplishment is preceded by great commitment. They know that the pain and discomfort that they feel because of today's demands and sacrifices will be the strength and success they will feel and be able to supply again tomorrow. They know that commitment means staying loyal to what they said they were going to do…long after the mood they said it in has left them. They long ago accepted the reality that if they're not working at improving their game to the utmost of their ability, and strengthening their resolve, that there will be someone out there, somewhere with equal ability who is. They know that when commitment is lost, it is because of deficiencies in character, discipline, focus and follow through. As a result, they have decided that giving up is not an option. So, here's a few questions for you to consider…but before you answer, I want you to think long and hard about your past performance for the simple reason that behavior never lies. How great is the power of your commitment? Do you have a demonstrated track record of honoring your commitments until the end? Disposable is a good word to describe many of today's products. From razors to diapers, from milk cartons to toner cartridges, it seems that disposability is being built into the very fabric of society. Have commitments and promises fallen into the same trap? Is it really no big deal to make a commitment and then discard it, to make a promise and then simply walk away from it? In a world where commitment is vital to success, why do so many people suffer from commitment issues? Why is there such a profound commitment deficit in people's lives rather than an excess surplus? COMMITMENT ISSUES Commitment issues or a fear of commitment is a term often used in reference to romantic relationships. But the truth is…far too many people have commitment issues in just about every area of their lives which is why they find themselves unfulfilled and unsuccessful in so many areas to include their career, health, finances… and in the achievement of their goals. Commitment is a virtue, one that requires fulfillment, and one that punishes unfaithfulness. Yet, for many, it's going to take a dramatic shift to embrace the importance of commitments and internalize the meaning of permanence. If your word is not supported by action, if you take a cavalier attitude towards your obligations, the party's over as you really have nothing of value to offer. Your word is a form of capital. It's money in the bank for someone who is counting on it. That being said, you should only invest your capital where and when it counts most or it will lose its value. And because your word is like currency, you must give it only when the occasion is important enough to call for it. Consider this thought, what's the point of making a commitment or promise if you have no intention of honoring it? This question applies to your relationship with others just as much to yourself. The greatest and most unfortunate betrayal is when we betray ourselves. Being able to adhere to our commitments begins with self-respect. When we say one thing and do another, when we start projects but don't finish them, when we go on a diet but soon quit, the only thing we are successful at is sabotaging our reputation with ourselves. When we dishonor our own commitments, when we lie to ourselves, how on earth can we be expected to honor the commitments we make to others? What kind of person do you want to be known as…someone who has character and a stellar reputation? Or someone who's unreliable, untrustworthy and uncommitted? Do you want to able to hold your head up high with dignity and self-respect? If so, then choose to live by the Integrity Code. "If you make a commitment, honor it. If you make a promise, keep it. If you set a goal, achieve it." Aristotle was absolutely right when he said, "Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting in a particular way. By doing so, you'll wake up each day with determination, and go to bed with immense satisfaction. That's why you're going to love MY BRAND NEW VIDEO TRAINING: HOW TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS IN 2017!
