I’ve been preaching this gospel of immediacy for about 3 years now. It kinda goes like this, “All we have is today and we have tons of potential!” A friend of mine, Doug Andrewski who is the Chief Kahuna of the Titan Classic Bodybuilding Championships in Wisconsin put this to me. I’d lamented that I wish I had started bodybuilding when I was much younger. Doug turned to me and gave me this life changing quote, “All we have is today and we have tons of potential!” Instantly, today became “my time.” I stopped looking back with regret. I stopped wishing I could be today like I was when I was young. My focus went to two time frames, 1.) Today. 2.) The future.
This is “OUR” time! We have to unload all our previous glory days and failures and regrets. We now must focus on today so we can prepare for our futures. Today is loaded with work that is undergirded by dreams and plans and NO regrets. Tomorrow is where we are headed after we do the work today.
Key thought for me is that we are loaded with potential no matter how young or old we are. Now! Since this is “OUR TIME,” we must tap this potential and bring it to life and operationalize it.
In bodybuilding, we can’t ever be intimidated or afraid of anything. The only opponent is ourselves. We have to overcome any and all limitations we self impose. Do more reps. Do more sets. TODAY! TOMORROW is where we are headed so set the bar very high and don’t look back.
You dear friends and I are living “OUR TIME!” This is it! Unlock the potential that has been residing in you for so long and turn it loose. Nothing is stopping you but you.
In closing. Our time is now……think about what that means and do something about it.

Although the quote was paraphrased, it conveys the true spirit of the soul: “All there is is NOW! Thanks for the connection!
