The value of support

 From the folks at PN:

“The most successful people in every endeavor tend to actively seek mentorship and support.”

People who have access to experienced mentors and are surrounded by driven peers – and who actively take advantage of those resources – are much more likely to reach their goals than those without either.There are a host of reasons why, including:

1. Rapid dissemination of wisdom
2. Role modeling (at first, it’s easier to mimic than to learn)
3. Social pressure
4. Inclusion in something greater than oneself
5. Exclusion of others / common enemy theory
6. Validation and acceptance
7. Constructive competition

In short, people with mentors and social support figure things out faster, make fewer mistakes, and are pushed to succeed by those around them. It’s a formula for success, especially in fitness and nutrition.

Ask yourself – is it time you secured some support in your fitness endeavours?
