A short YouTube monologue by Andy Neary advising viewers, on New Year's Eve, not to compare their sustained progress (their "middle") to others' publicized beginnings—noting many New Year's resolutions are announcements, not current habits, and encouraging those already practicing healthy routines to keep going without envy.

Alright, it's New Year's Eve. We're about to turn a new year a new decade. And today I want to talk to you about comparing your middle to somebody's beginning. In self development. We actually hear the flip all the time. Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle. If someone's been doing something for five, six years and you just started, you're not going to be as good as they are. But let's flip the coin for a second. This is New Year's Eve. Tomorrow there's going to be a ton of people going public about their New Year's resolutions. I'm going to lose weight, I'm going to eat better, I'm gonna start doing all these new things. Here's why they're announcing it to the public, because they're not doing it right now. So if you're out there, you're eating well, you're hitting the gym all the time, you're working on your mind, your body, and you're already doing that stuff. You don't have to have the New Year's resolutions. So don't compare your middle to somebody's beginning. Don't see what everybody's posting going, oh man, I gotta do that too. Because they're not doing it now. And you know what? Come March, they're not going to be doing it anyways. So if you're out there, you're already eating well, you're working out, you're working on your mind, you're surrounding yourself with good people. Just keep it up. Do not compare your middle to somebody's beginning. Happy New Year.
