- You hit the gym 3/5/6 times a week, constantly hitting it as hard as you can. Constantly striving to get bigger, faster, stronger. It's always on your mind, everything you do you do it because you want it so bad.
YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR OWN DESTINY
Mind is everything, achieve a strong mind and you WILL achieve a
strong body
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"for me, its the guy next to me trying to lift heavier, train harder and get more gains than me, its that guy who motivates me to push myself further"
"when i wake up and see that i have made changes,but still crave more thats what really makes me wanna go to the gym"
"knowing that things could be a whole lot worse!"
"time-the fact that if i miss a workout, then its gonna take that extra time to get where i want to be"
"Knowing there's someone out there trying to be better than me"
"Knowing that in the end I'll look better, be in better shape, and be stronger."
"i just lost a friend that was in horrible health, so i'm doing everything i do so i can live a long time."
"My motivation is that time is running out"
"For me my tomorrows are getting smaller (in the sporting sense) and i want to give it my all."
"That's a pretty wide question, but for me, its easy to answer. I find something I want, and do whats needed to achieve that goal. It may be something small, or a large long term goal. Either way, I figure out what is needed to accomplish it, and put the steps in motion."
"Other peoples doubt in me "
"I think of who I was, then I think of who I am, then think of what I want to be. there should always be an incline between the 3, and there is always something you can improve on, whether in work, education, your body, your personal accomplishments, your personal attitude and traits. I stay motivated because I dont allow myself to be content."
"Being better tomorrow than I am today"
"what motivates me is the desire for being different."
"what motivates me is my attitude. become aware of what you can improve in yourself. wake up every morning and say, today, i am going to fix this, this and this. DO IT."
"I missed out on so many opportunities because I was/am fat. Whether I was honestly unable to take advantage, or if I was too scared from lack of self-esteem doesn't matter. I got sick of missing out. If I can't take advantage of an opportunity now, I know that I will be able to soon and others will come."
"Knowing that there are thousands of young people who have lost limbs or now have other physical limitations that prevent them from doing what I am able."
"To achieve a strong body, one must have a strong mind."
"There's a 22 year old out there right now praying to God that he would be able just to walk again. Get up and use what you've been given."
"Simple - Nobody's gonna do it for me, and as much as I like to sit around thinking of how much I can achieve, it's not happening on it's own"
" looking at other's at the gym isnt going to help me any, i have to squeeze my own muscle"
"to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift"
"Remembering where I came from, and the hell of a journey I've gone through. There was no certainty when I started, no guaranteed results, just desire"
"You make your own life, you make every single one of your decision. If you are making excuses for something you did, you aren't living in reality. At one point you consciously made the decision, whether you like it or not, to act or not act. Start taking responsibility for your own thoughts and control your mind, don't let it control you. The mind is way more powerful than any of your muscle could ever be developed. You can measure how powerful certain muscles are like how much you bench, squat, curl... you can put an exact number on it. Our brains cannot... our mind is beyond powerful measure.
Think about the capabilities it has... REALLY think about it. YOUR brain controls your whole body, when you want to walk, you tell your legs to move... one foot in front of the other. You brain controls EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of your body: body temperature, heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, processes your sights, sounds, tastes, feelings and smells. It gives us the power to dream, to visualize things.
Most people do not realize or fully appreciate their brain. Conquering your brain will allow your body to do what you tell it. What do I mean by conquering it? Having the ability to control your thoughts 100%. Having the confidence in your actions, to not second guess yourself. Having the determination and perseverance to achieve your goals, despite facing great adversity. Having the burning fire inside you to not give up when you get knocked down 9 times, you stand up 10 times. You will face obstacles. You will face difficulties. It is our biggest struggles, tests of our true selves and ability, that you will grow to someone you weren't before.
To keep moving forward (towards the person you want to be), you must keep forcing yourself forward... IF YOU DONT BELIEVE ME it is defined in physics, by the law of inertia (Newtons First Law) "An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it." Everything in this world is working against you. Everyone wants to tell me what I can't do. Everything that isn't helping you move forward are distractions (AKA OPPOSING FORCES). These things, no matter what they may be, are trying to hold you back. They are the friction slowing us down, preventing us from remaining in motion.
So what am I trying to say? The key to success is having the right frame of mind. That is the single most important factor that will determine your success. If you can have the mindset that "failure is not an option" and you will do anything to win, no matter what the consequences, then you will succeed. Winning, being the CHAMPION, is not a one time effort, but rather a culmination of your best efforts consistently."
Keeping the Fire Alive
NOW GET UP AND DO SOMETHING.
