This week at the Men’s Club, one of our members, Mike, shared that he has lost 124 pounds in the last year by coming out to the club and hitting our workouts on the TRAIN HARD app.
At first, I was shocked. Then I was fired up. Then it hit me... time is a funny thing.
A year really isn’t that long, yet you can do so much in it.
Think about it. As we get older, time seems to move faster. A week is a snap of the fingers, a month feels like a few minutes, and a year happens before you know it. I mean, we’re already heading toward the holidays of 2026. Where did the year go?
Yet look at what can happen in that amount of time. Mike lost 124 pounds. The TRAIN HARD Men’s Club grew to more than 80 locations. Think about all the people around the world who have accomplished something they once thought they couldn’t.
All in a year.
So the takeaway today is simple: a year really isn’t that long of a time, yet you can accomplish an incredible amount if you’re consistent and dedicate yourself to something.
Start the new career. Learn the new skill. Coach your kid’s sports team. Get in shape. Repair the relationship. Do the thing you’ve been thinking about doing.
Because a year from now, you’re going to be a year older anyway.
The question is, what will you have to show for it?
Worst case, you’ll have learned a lot. Best case, you’ll have changed your life like Mike did.
