How Many People Actually Understand This?
Published: Tue, 04/02/13
Hey guys, hope you all had an awesome Easter weekend
I came back all sun burned from my vacation to Mazatlan, but it was an awesome time: beach workouts, hot girls, amazing seafood, making new friends & spending time with the fam
In the morning I posted this pic to my FB page:
And it got me thinking profoundly on what it takes to reach our goals - Both inside & outside the gym
A lot of people know that discipline is required to win, but how many people actually understand this?
It takes maturity & lowering your ego, to submit to the fact that great things take time to accomplish...that you need to be patient
The reward is not always about the end result, like being able to do your first muscle up or hitting a new deadlift PR
The reward simply is the satisfaction & experience from reaching your goal, to look back & know that you conquered blistering obstacles in order to reach something that mattered to you
Nobody can give you this feeling, it is only experienced trough constantly winning small battles & refusing to loose!
We live in a society where most people want the easy way out: the shortcuts
And while they do exist, they never strengthen you internally...they simply make you complaisant with being good enough or doing the least amount of work
Am sorry to tell you, but doing this will only make you stay weak & unhappy with yourself - there will always be a hollow hole inside of you that wishes they could work hard & get things done
And the truth is that you can!...and all it takes is for you to decide to win!
To decide to work harder, not to please or look good for others...but to work harder to become a better and stronger you!
So think deeply right now are you putting all the effort you can to reach the goals that matter to you? or are you just doing the minimum so you can tell people that you are a "hard worker"?
Your actions will dictate who you become, so act wisely!
