Join Wes Tankersley on this episode of Shaping Success as he continues his conversation with Craig Daigle on his journey to success.

Craig has said T25 workout was the hardest of his life, but through his mindset for achievement, he realized it wasn’t the hardest. The hardest was being overweight, unhealthy, anxious 24 hours a day. He chose the hard for 25 minutes instead of 24 hours a day. He realized that he needed to be alive before he could worry about paying the rent, car payments, and electricity.  He had a small apartment with not a lot of space to work out. He says most people will use lac of space as an excuse. Craig admits he’s used every excuse to not workout, so when someone makes an excuse, he’s heard it all, and he’s said it all. He still uses those excuses: He works nights, his kids take up time, etc. 

Craig’s key to success is learning that nothing tastes as good as healthy feels. Healthy means he feels good, sleeps well, and can play with his kids.  

He took to social media to set himself up for success to hold himself accountable.  His mindset is people aren’t accountable to themselves. They talk themselves out of it and have a lack of respect for themselves.

Craig’s secret to success is knowing that the mind doesn’t differentiate between negative and positive or true and false. Whatever the mind is fed is what it will believe.

An example of this is being upset that $100.00 of the paycheck is going to electricity. If someone is homeless, they would not have an electric bill. What is worse? Having a bill to pay or not having a home? 

Craig’s secret to success is having gratitude. He is thankful he wakes up in the morning when so many don’t.  He is thankful is able to walk and workout when a lot of people don’t have that capability. He is thankful he was the mental capacity to work and provide for his family.

Being accountable on social media is prone to negative comments sometimes from family members and people to whom he is closest. They say he won’t last a week and he’s too fat. Craig points out that he and these people are a lot alike, run in the same circles, and go to the same places. They are jealous because he’s out there doing something about his situation while they are still stuck in there’s. They want to see him fail. If he fails, they will say I knew it because that means they don’t have to do it.
