When Roger Bennet commented on Mo Salah’s exceptional physical condition and asked about his six-pack routine, he wasn’t ready for the answer. No complex exercises. No special equipment. Just kitchen wisdom, “The abs begin in the kitchen.”
We chase visible outcomes without understanding their foundations. Like the gym enthusiast spending hours on crunches while devouring junk food, or the startup founder obsessing over office aesthetics while their culture crumbles.
The real transformation happens in invisible spaces. In kitchens not gymnasiums. In habits not heroics. In daily choices not dramatic gestures.
What we see is merely evidence of what’s already happened. The abs, the success, the breakthrough are just reflections of decisions made long ago.
Next time you find yourself admiring the outcome, pause. Ask about the kitchen.
