You have to optimize everything in your life if you’re truly trying to get the most out of your time on this earth. You need to do more things that will put you in a position to be as productive as you possibly can. When you have specific goals, you need to design your life in a way that gives you the best opportunity to accomplish those goals in whatever time frame you’d like to accomplish them in.
If your goal is to become a top level athletic, then do yourself a favor and cut out the McDonald’s. You’re not Ocho Cinco. You should eat as healthy as you can, you should work out as hard as you can, you should study your sport as much as you can. This is what is going to put you in the best position to succeed. Half assing your workouts and cheating on your diet is only going to leave you in a position where you have heavy regrets and bitterness.
Be clear, bitterness and regret doesn’t come from the things we do in life. Bitterness and regret ultimately comes from you yourself not doing everything that is in your power to get the results you want or results you expect. If you give something your all and you fail, you are not going to be bitter about it… at all. Nor should you be. If you test yourself, push yourself to the limits, and you’re simply not good enough for whatever reason, or it just doesn’t work out for you, I promise you that you are not going to be upset about it. The thing is, the likelihood of you giving your complete all and not succeeding is beyond minimal. It’s infantile.
