First, knowing what you want will require tons of time alone to sort through what is true and what is not. We also have to consider what we want to be absolute and nothing can/will stop us from attaining the goal.
Second, after we have decided what we want we have to spend some more time alone setting up the plan to get to the goal. This takes tons of concentration on the intricacies to be lowered into place and how they will work for us. Nothing can be left to chance during this time of isolation.
Thirdly, again out of sight of any worldly distractions we solidify our commitment to the task at hand. All of what we do from this point on comes from the sacred promises you make to yourself —“ALONE!” As it says in the Bible, “Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” Let’s just call this time and place “The Lair of the Holy Contract with God and Ourselves.” We have to realize that nothing is attainable, especially in bodybuilding, without a near blood oath with God, ourselves, and the goal. We draw our strength from this Holy alliance. Unbreakable, focused, and set in stone.
As we who participate in bodybuilding we know the effort, the food, the supplements, the cardio, the weight training it takes to move from one level to the next. Please note that all these lessons are applicable to any endeavor in life. We know the pain. When we have done the three steps above there is nothing that can stop us.
Bottom Line: Nothing worthy of our attention and our accomplishment happens in a void. It all must come from the heart or the heart will fail even before we start. This is our time! Consider. Think. Meditate. Plan. Act.—AND WIN!
