Wow! This really grabbed me. Very simple and to the point. Recall that often things worth having are very hard to attain and sometimes it is equally hard to retain. There are two parts to winning, 1.) Attainment and 2.) Sustainment. In these two things we must decide that if we get what we want can we keep it. Marriage is a classic. If we spend our time pursuing and then marrying the greatest woman in our world we have to also be willing to sustain that marriage. Simple concept to state and a real challenge to execute. Both steps are essential and one cannot happen without the other.
In bodybuilding we have to believe that we “can do it!” We have to attack the goal(s) with a vengeance. There cannot be any half ass efforts. Training with a purpose yields gains we are acutely aware of. We know by experience whether we are giving it our all or whether we are just going through the motions. Our uppermost image of ourselves must be that we are doing it and our effort demonstrates our belief that we can do it! Quitting is not an option. We chose this course/journey sometimes against the advice and opinions of many trusted friends and family. But! Here we are! Nothing can stop us now.
This is the time that we dare not “LET OURSELVES DOWN.” Remember, that failure is painful and costly but the price of regret is forever. We are on the track headed into the arena. We cannot fail. We can do it. Now, we cannot let ourselves down. Climb those stairs onto the stage and take your place alongside the Titans who dared to be where you are. You have just won. YOU have not let yourself down.
Where do we go from here? 1.) Believe it. 2.) Do it. 3.) Don’t let yourself down. 4.). REPEAT
