Here's something practical and pretty simple, especially for people starting out in something. Depending on the type of person you are, it can be really good to hang out with like minded people. Seek them out. As a super simple example, imagine you wanted to go to the shop, to buy apples. You know some people that also want to go to the shop, that are into healthy eating. You also know people that want to go to the beach, and who love junk food. So you get in the beach car, and start driving and arguing about apples and junk food. You are miles off course, and by the end of the day, the shop is shut, you have no apples, and have spent all your being and day doing it. Imagine if you had gotten into the shop car.

As ridiculous and obvious as it sounds, heaps of people do just that. Imagine how easy, resistance free it could have been. Imagine wanting to be a champion sprinter, hanging out with people wanting to be marathon runners, people who thought sports sucked, people who love partying, people who keep telling you its impossible, that you are slow, etc, etc, etc. Imagine the totally opposite scenario in terms of focus, resistance, momentum and inspiration.
