Now! This is a basic, but tall order! Life teaches us a couple of things that are foundational to getting what we want and being able to keep it. First, there can be no backing down when you are pursuing your prize. Second, there can be no compromise in the journey as we seek to keep the prize as our very own. These are immutable and immovable principles. However, in the course of doing it all right we sometimes forget what we are all about and why we possess what we have to keep. I can only say, having had this happen to me that the price you pay for inattention to the things you love is epic and sometimes self-destructive. But, I’m here to say that there is life on the other side of loss. You really can “start again” with the same vigor and commitment to never quitting—-ever again!
I believe that in bodybuilding, when we get totally destroyed on stage, we can mutter the words, “never again!” Mean it! and do something about it. Better, coaching, better diet, harder and better focused training. All these items can bring about a sense of purpose that directs us to say, “I WILL NEVER QUIT NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS!” My hard line philosophy is that you can be defeated, you can get tired, but you “CAN NEVER QUIT”. Quitting simply means that we have checked out of life. We have said, I am going to settle for something less because it has less pain, less effort, and it is easier. I got killed the last time I competed. So, I looked at my wife and said, “never again.” I was not ready and it showed…..never again!
Bottom Line: If you want to gain the woman of your life, if you want to progress and be a winner, you must develop the spirit of “NEVER QUIT”—NO MATTER HOW HARD IT GETS.” Always remember too that perseverance is all we have in this world. Use it!
