Do you feel like you're compromising certain areas of your life where you're great in one area but good or even average in other areas?

Hey Spartans, welcome back to another episode of the Spartan Way Podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Evernesh coming to you from Spartan Headquarters here in Boston.

So today what I want to talk to you about comes from a story when I spoke with an athlete who was about to embark on his sports season and he said I can't train anymore because the sports season is starting and I'm going to have a lot of school work.

I said why not just be great at everything?

Why don't be a great athlete and great at academics and great at social life?

And his response was, I'm a student first so it had me thinking as

we grow into our adult years we start to put a lot more eggs in certain baskets

than others maybe we're great at health and fitness but not so

great in career or maybe not so great with family. So we've got some good, some great

and mediocre or even worse.

And the bottom line is, it's easier to just go 100%

in everything that you do.

Be great with the relationships you have,

your social life, your family life, be great, give great effort to your career and work, and give great effort to your nutrition, your exercise, your overall health and fitness.

So this episode, it's not really complicated.

I found that it's just much easier to take a stand within your mind, within your life,

and say you know what, I'm done just being good in this area, but I'm going great there.

And we've seen that in many areas, right?

We see successful businessmen who have very poor health or they have poor relationships with family.

The bottom line is this, you've got to go 100% in everything you do.

Don't compartmentalize your excellence.
