SPARTAN SERIES #235: “KEEP GOING. EVERYTHING WILL COME TO YOU AT THE RIGHT TIME.”

One of the promises I received a while ago told me that I would learn patience. It’s more like a promise that I needed to learn something about me that was deficient. At the same time I would learn patience through many life lessons. Admittedly, patience is not my calling card. However, just because something that you do not possess is not attainable if it’s needed. It all boils down to ‘how much you want it.’ One of my biggest frustrations/deficiencies is my pulsating impatience. I want everything “YESTERDAY”— DAMMIT! So, when I’m faced with a long wait time for something or that getting something can be had but I’ve got work long and hard for it—I’m instantly unhappy!

In bodybuilding we all face the reality that consistency, patience, persistence, drive, vision, goal setting, discipline and sometimes sheer will power will get us what we seek. Thrown all together this equals a journey that has very few fast straightaways. Just the journey propelled by the qualities mentioned and the acceptance that life regarding bodybuilding is “SO DAILY!” It’s been said that we should ‘trust the process.’ The goal and trust we accept and project is that the thing we seek will happen in it’s own time if we if we just keep going. Remember! There is nothing in our way. The world is ours to have but we have to cover the ground to get there and it’s never fast. Preparing for the stage is a remarkable endeavor. We are so motivated that we can smell the atmosphere in the arena, we can feel the energy. Then, as we lock in, we begin to understand that all we seek will come if we do not quit. We want the results….My new advice is to trust the process and all that we seek will appear. This is when we SEIZE the moment and go for the win. It is here and we have worked and waited for it and now it’s ours. The right time is NOW!

Bottom Line: Do not quit! All we need and want will come to us at the right time. Stop trying to bend time and reality. Push the limits of now so that perfection will be ushered in at the perfect time. Our job is to be patient, work hard, and don’t miss the moment when all things arrive, “RIGHT ON TIME!”
