Ask HOW LONG not WHAT

I am in the best share of my life physically. One of my friends asked me what I am doing. After hearing about my workout routine, he said he is going to try my routine. We met a month later and he said he tried my routine a few times and gave up.

While reflecting on this conversation, I realized we ask the wrong question when we see others’ success. We tend to ask what they are doing to get the results. Instead, we should ask how long have they been doing it to get here.

How many times have we taken inspiration from our other’s results and tried something new only to give up after a few attempts? Before asking WHAT we should ask HOW LONG and try to honestly answer “If we are ready to commit that long”. Because most success takes a long time to come by. We should be ready for the grind and stick to it. If not no point in knowing WHAT or HOW they did it.
