Pay up or decline the effort to win….It’s a simple concept…..If want something bad enough you will prepare accordingly and pay the requisite price to attain your desired end or to win…..If you are not willing to count the cost of victory and you don’t want to pay the rice to win then stop all effort and don’t kid yourself or others.
This is the dilemma that all of us must face when we want the win. In bodybuilding, we set our sights on the stage that is set before us and we pour all of our preparatory actions into the crucible to present ourselves worthy, strong, and prepared to win. Whatever the crucible requires of us to be our best gets our best effort. Whether it’s training, diet, supplements, cardio, posing and constant attention to details is put into play. Nothing is left to chance.
Many of us talk a good game but in our heart of hearts we do not want to give it our best effort. We want some sort of ego blast just for showing up. Sure, we look good but it is not our best and our eventual placement reveals our half ass prep.
Ask anybody who sets out to win. They start where they are. The organize their plan. They execute the plan flawlessly with an eye toward the grand prize on the stage. There just isn’t another way to think about the simple choice to pay the price or not. If you want to be the “last man standing” you have to prepare for it and act like it. Carry yourself like you have al.ready won. Push yourself like you are afraid of finishing last. The last time I competed I didn’t do such a great job and I got killed. Divisions I normally win were taken from me and I was humiliated. I looked good but not as good as was required. Winning takes all you have. You are betting on yourself so why waste the bet and the effort if you are not going to pay the price?
Bottom Line: Pay the price to win—-and win! Or, Go home and keep your half ass prep. Nobody remembers a loser.
