Everything in Moderation Including Moderation

March 9, 2020 by Frun Leave a Comment

There are a lot of great quotes out there.

There is one quote that takes the steak though. (I’d say cake but I don’t eat that garbage)

It’s this quote by Oscar Wilde:

“Everything in moderation, including moderation.”

Oscar Wilde

I enjoy this quote the most for many reasons.

One of those reasons being that moderation can hold you back.

In simple terms:

No Risk = No Reward

Of course, you can ‘moderate’ your risk.

… but some things require you to make an all-in decision.

Like:

  • Starting a business.
  • Doing the zero carb diet.
  • Building the body of your dreams.

For example, the zero-carb carnivore diet. (Like the Steak & Eggs Diet)

There is no moderation in this diet.

You have to be all-in.

Zero carbohydrates are allowed.

With the addictive nature of sugar, one gram of sugar can cause a cascade of sugar cravings.

This is akin to a drug addict moderating their drug consumption.

At first: “I’ll just take a hit once a month.”

Then it turns into: “I’ll just take a hit once a week.”

Before you know it, they’re taking a hit every 15 minutes.

This is why it is imperative to do things 110% or not do them at all.

Another example being: going to the gym.

There’s no: “I’ll work on it when I feel like it.”

That’s the perfect recipe for failure.

When you aren’t fully committed to something, you are bound to fail.

You tend to half-ass everything when there’s no commitment involved.

So whatever you do, do it 110% or don’t do it at all.

Another reason I like this quote is because it goes against mainstream advice.

Mainstream advice gets you to once place and one place only: In the mainstream.

If you want to take normal advice, become a normal person and live a normal life, be my guest.

It’s just not for me.

I find joy in challenges and things that are extreme.

I like going against the grain.

It allows you to see things in a different light.

A light that people choose to ignore.

This is why having an open mind is important.

Yet, having a closed mind is equally as important.

Every situation is unique in its own regard.

Realize that every situation demands an altered version of yourself.

You Need To Be A Chameleon.

Sometimes, you will need to get after it…

Sometimes, you will need to exercise patience…

… and sometimes, the answer does not lie somewhere in the middle.

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Until Next Time,

Frun
