Virtus Daily Blog #58 - Start now, not later

duda • September 3, 2025

And before you know it, 5 years has passed and you're still stuck at point A . You have always known what point B is, but you keep making excuses to get there. We get stuck, hesitate and start to think about the time, money, effort and experiences it involves. Let?s make that dream become a reality. The longer you leave your point B as a dream, the harder it will be to achieve later down the track.

Some classic examples I have heard plenty of times before are mentioned below. One of these sentences might even relate to you ?

Example 1) "I should probably start eating better, because I am eating like crap and gaining health issues"

Example 2) "I need to start up at the gym, so I can become fitter, healthier and stronger"

Example 3) "I want to get a new job, because I hate what I do and get no satisfaction anymore"

The thing that these examples have in common is willingness and motivation.

The longer you leave your goal/intention/idea, the harder it will be to achieve as you get more comfortable in the environment you are in.

If you put in no effort, have little intention and a lack of motivation towards your point B, then you're not going to get there. It's that simple.

If you really want to get into the gym and start seeing results because you are overweight, and need further help- the best time to start is now. The later you start, the likelihood of chronic disease increases.

If you really want a change from your job, or if you despise the people you work with- then change now. The longer you wait for something to happen, the longer you stay unhappy on where you are.

In reference to Example 2 Image used: https://marketify.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/have-you-stated-your-gost-lately/

This gives you some perspective and you get a big reality check (like mentioning chronic disease and unhappiness).

Work out what your goal/intention/idea is, and go from there. Before time flies too quickly. Once you take the first step, things will fall into place from there. The longer you wait, the longer it will take to get anywhere near your goal/intention/idea.

Stop making excuses. Invest in yourself. Keep your mind focused. Use your allies. Look for good in every outcome. Manage your resources.

Don't leave it or push it aside because it will only get harder.

At Virtus Performance, everything we do, from our coaching to our programming, is built on three key foundations: Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress. Combined with built-in feedback loops, these principles ensure constant evolution, athlete buy-in, and results that last. Humans are complex, adaptive systems, always changing and responding to our environment. At the same time, we are also simple beings. We repeat the things we enjoy and the things that help us improve. That is why these three factors sit at the heart of Virtus coaching. 1. Enjoyment: Training You Actually Want to Do If training feels like punishment, you will eventually stop. Willpower can only carry you so far. That is why at Virtus, we design world-class strength and conditioning programs that are challenging, but also fun, rewarding, and engaging. Enjoyment is fuelled by our community. You will connect with others, laugh, and celebrate wins along the way. Training becomes more than just another task. It becomes one of the best parts of your week. 2. Consistency: The Secret to Real Change The people who achieve their goals are not always the most talented. They are the ones who keep showing up. Consistency is the real secret sauce in strength and conditioning. At Virtus, we do not just coach. We educate. You will learn why the work matters, how to fit training into a busy life, and how to build habits that stick. Through accountability and support, we help you keep turning up week after week, so results compound over time. 3. Progress: Becoming More Capable Progress fuels motivation. When you can see and feel change, you want to keep going. Whether it is lifting heavier, moving better, running faster, or simply feeling stronger and more capable in your own skin, progress is what drives long-term commitment. That is why our coaching emphasises performance. With structured programs, regular testing weeks, and goal reviews, we ensure you are not just training. You are evolving. At Virtus, we believe in continual improvement. Every program includes feedback loops: testing, reflection, and goal setting that ensure your training adapts as you do. This process creates genuine athlete buy-in because you see and feel the results of your work. Our philosophy is simple. Training should help you do more of the things you love, in a stronger and more capable way. By combining Enjoyment, Consistency, and Progress with our pillars of Community, Education, and Performance, Virtus coaching sets the foundation for long-term success. That is Virtus. That is Better Every Day. Ready to dive in and experience Virtus?

To be a self transforming individual, that being someone who can observe without judgement. Detach from the result, and accept that the truth is more important than being right.

Whatever you have or don?t have, whatever goals you achieve or don?t achieve, whichever frustrations or excitements you are currently experiencing in your life, all of it, its your fault. Whoever you are, its your fault.
