Will you apply motivational weight loss to your cause, or will failure be the effect? 

If you really want to achieve a weight loss goal, you have to be truly motivated to lose weight. Just starting a ‘diet’ with a notion that you might ‘lose some weight’ is a complete waste of time. To truly succeed your thoughts have to be motivational. Weight loss is like anything else – you only get out what you put in. 

Take into consideration the law of cause and effect. For every effect, there must be a cause. That cause must always come before the effect. Simple and to the point, it’s the easiest natural law to remember and probably the easiest to forget. 

Would you expect to make a withdrawal from a bank account before first making a deposit?  No, you wouldn’t. Would you stand in front of the fireplace expecting warmth without first setting a fire? Would you expect a bare piece of land to produce corn without first planting the seeds? No! 

Yet, how many times have you met someone who feels as if they are owed the rewards of success without first being willing to put forth the time and effort it takes to become successful? According to the law of cause and effect, the investment must always come first, if the rewards are to follow. 

Life teaches us that we have to put wood in a fireplace before we get flames; we have to make a deposit before we can make a withdrawal; we have to plant seeds, water them, and nurture them before we can harvest the corn. Too often, unfortunately, we don’t apply this practical knowledge to the way we conduct our lives. 

If you yearn for a particular effect in your life – and losing weight would be a good example – you must first set in motion the cause of that effect. When you don’t get a desired effect, you can be sure that you have not set the appropriate cause into motion. You can be equally certain that once the cause is set in motion, the effect you want will follow. The cause needs to come first. Once it does, the effect will follow. 

One of the most important decisions you will ever make in your life is this: Do you want to be a cause or an effect? When you choose to be a cause, you make things happen. When you choose to be an effect, you settle for whatever happens to you. When you decide to be a cause in your game of life, you get to call the shots and make all the plays. But when you choose to be an effect, you only get to watch the game on television; you have no control of the game. You’re satisfied to laugh and to cry, to live and to die, based on the actions of others. 

The difference between being a cause and being an effect is the difference between being a screwdriver and being a screw. One acts; the other is acted upon. Motivational weight loss will give you the information you need to become truly motivated to lose weight, and a cause for your own good. It will not just help you achieve your weight loss goal, but give you the confidence to aim higher still.
