I mean it
I just know it
I've signed up for the gym
My doctor told me that I had to make a change
Once I make up my mind, I will do it, I've done it before
It's different this time trust me I know
and on and on............. whatever the motivation or reason for making it work this time, it will take a whole lot of consistency and determination to succeed.
