Beginner's Luck
This morning I woke up and said I'd rather live with the pain of regret. That single thought was enough to get me to the gym to run. I ended up doing a run/walk for 3 miles with 4 sprints! I am so proud of myself. It's really hard for me to get motivation to workout and I feel like I'm on a beginners luck roll.
What's a beginners luck roll? My theory is that every time you try to do something new, whether it's a positive life change, or a new habit, you get "beginners luck". For instance, let's say you you decide to venture into the stock market. The very first trade you make will be a truly positive one, usually, so positive that you start to think, wow, what took me so long? I should have started this long ago. Maybe your beginners luck even continues through your second and third trade, but then, suddenly, it stops. The trades stop going well. This is precisely when the real work sets in, the real work and discipline it takes to make a profound change. You're left sitting there wondering, it was so easy when I started, why not now?!
