This is not only a mindset is a monster personal statement or declaration. Each and everyone of us who hits the gym with the stage as our proving ground knows that we can only make the journey if we believe ‘we can.” The next part is to stand firmly in front of the world and especially the naysayers and trumpet the words, “I can and I will—Watch me!”
Long ago I stood in the middle of the field house all alone and vowed that I would be the best athlete that ever played here. By all accounts I fell far short of the vaunted task I committed myself to. But, the quiet desperation of a kid who believed he “could do it” was the beginning of a life of holy pursuit of that which seemed out of reach. I believe with all my heart that nothing is ever out of reach. We may fail on our way but the only true failure is “THE ‘Q’ WORD”—–QUIT! Anybody can engage a target but only we can put the final nail in our coffin by “QUITTING.”
Now regarding whether we bodybuilders “CAN”—–it’s an absolute yes. Now, because we have decided that we “CAN”-–we will….Just watch us (old people) do it an “WIN.”
In any other endeavor in life that is worth going after, take the personal dare to commit and do it. Let the naysayers have their self delusional moment while we “WIN.” Stand back world and “WATCH ME!” — “WE CAN AND WE WILL!”
The love of my life and the reason I cannot be beaten
