Want to know something really crazy though, about people. If you work for someone else and they tell you to be there at 9am, you will be there at 9am and you will do what they tell you to do when they tell you to do it. But when you tell yourself that you're going to start working out tomorrow, you don't. When you tell yourself that you're going to start that business next week, you don't. So the real question is, why are you following through with what other people tell you to do and not following through for yourself? Why are you building somebody else's dream, not your own? When are you finally going to start waking up and living for yourself and stop living for everyone else around you?
