When you pause and reflect on the past decade as you look ahead to a new one, it makes you appreciate how short life is, how valuable time is and how quickly the time can pass you by – with nothing to show for it, if you don\u2019t plan otherwise.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the passing of another decade can feel like a wakeup call as much as a fresh start: Looking at the technological wonders that surround us in 2010, I can\u2019t help thinking it feels like science fiction.<\/p>\n

In fact, modern technology is one of the reasons why some people have succeeded at body transformation while others have failed.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still in awe of the web. The satellite navigation system in my car amazes me every time I drive. I can store a library of books in a device that fits in my pocket. It blows my mind that we can speak to each other face to face through the internet live on video. That\u2019s straight from Star Trek! And those are just the everyday little things.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the greatest time to be alive in all of human history! Unfortunately, today\u2019s modern conveniences have brought a dark side upon us.<\/p>\n

Rising obesity has paralleled the march of technology. The chair-bound, desk-job, computer, car, elevator, television based society of today is helping to make millions of people fat and lazy.<\/p>\n

Our current way of life is less than a century old, yet our biology hasn\u2019t changed in tens of thousands of years. Our bodies were designed to move and work, not sit and click.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve become spoiled. Complacent. Dependent. And we are paying a price for it. We are fatter than ever before in all of human history. More than two thirds of Americans are now overweight. One third are obese.<\/p>\n

People are dying because they\u2018re too fat.<\/p>\n

Ironically, none of our new technology can solve our body fat problems.\u00a0\u00a0There\u2019s no easy way. No pill. No machine. No drug. More knowledge isn\u2019t going to help. We already have most of the answers. We know more about the human body than ever before. But it\u2019s all academic.<\/p>\n

The problem lies in the doing. You have to do the work \u2013 in the gym and in the kitchen. Hard work.<\/p>\n

We are a quick fix society. It\u2019s partly human nature, but technology is making us more impatient. We can have products delivered to us with one click and even do it from our cell phones. We have instant downloads, movies on demand, and drive through coffee shops. We get\u00a0\u00a0our food made and delivered in just minutes while we are sitting in our cars, and it\u2019s still not quick enough. The internet is blazingly fast, but most people will abandon a web page in seconds if it hasn\u2019t loaded. It\u2019s no different with fat loss. We want six pack abs yesterday.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously fighting the pull of human nature and the convenience of new technology is no easy task. But there is a solution: Future Orientation.<\/p>\n

The most successful people in the world today are those who have a long term perspective. They plan 5-10 years in advance and beyond. They know how to enjoy and live in the present moment, but they take action and make decisions based on their future vision.<\/p>\n

The passing of another decade makes you take stock of yourself and your achievements, or lack thereof. \u201cWhat did I accomplish in the last 10 years? Am I a better person today than I was in 2000?\u201d<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t like the answers, then it\u2019s time to finally get serious about your future because the next 10 years are going to fly by even faster than the last 10 as the pace of life and society gets even faster.<\/p>\n

To succeed in the new decade, think beyond new year\u2019s resolutions. Think beyond the 12 week fitness goal. As you write your goals this year, don\u2019t stop with 3 month or even 1 year goals.<\/p>\n

Project yourself into the future: 3, 5 and 10 years from now. For each point, dream, fantasize, visualize: if your body, your health your physical performance were perfect in every way, what would that look like? Describe it in vivid detail.<\/p>\n

With our ingrained penchant for quick fixes, we often overestimate what we can achieve in the short term and set unrealistic deadlines on our short term goals. But the flipside is that we often underestimate what we can achieve in the long term, so we set our long term goals too low.\u00a0\u00a0Do you realize that people have gone from broke to billionaire in 10 years? In this internet age, some have done it even faster.<\/p>\n

My challenge for you this year is to start thinking about your body and your life with the same type of creativity that has led to our greatest technological advances:<\/p>\n

Not the same thoughts as yesterday. Not just positive thoughts. just bigger thoughts. NEW THOUGHTS! Creative thoughts! Inventive thoughts! From new thoughts will spring new goals, new actions and new achievements.<\/p>\n

Fitness goals should not take over your life, they should enhance every other part of it. So take this opportunity to achieve balance by setting long term goals for every area of your life \u2013 health, fitness, finances, career, relationships, experiences, travel, possessions and spiritual growth.<\/p>\n

Most people didn\u2019t set any goals 10 years ago. They\u2019re among the masses who are in the same place today as they were a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Some people only set short term goals, so they accomplished a few little things, but then stopped, as if a goal were a final destination rather than a stepping stone along a path. Other people set goals but didn\u2019t follow through on them. They forgot that goal setting and goal achieving are two different things.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fall into these traps.<\/p>\n

If you need coaching in the goal setting process \u2013 from the daily and weekly baby steps to the long term goals and dreams that span a decade \u2013 read chapter one of Burn The Fat, Feed the Muscle<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0If you already have it. Now is the time to revisit it.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t own a copy yet, you can get the program at:<\/p>\n

Most people make resolutions. Some people set well-formed goals.\u00a0But long term goals are the goals that almost everyone forgets to set.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t do this exercise 10 years ago, do it now. If you do, I guarantee that in 2013, 2015, 2020, you\u2019ll not only find yourself living at a whole new level, you\u2019ll find yourself living in another world – one of your own creation.<\/p>\n

Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
