SPARTAN SERIES #249: “REMEMBER WHO YOU WANTED TO BE!”

Each of us have had, or even still have heroes! We have their personalities and their faces and their deeds etched on our minds. We take them to bed with us, we wake up to them and we pattern or very existence after them. These heroes have defined us and have placed our feet on the path we have traveled since the day they took their rightful place inside us. Hero worship is alive and well inside all of us. This hero that guides us has set in place and put into motion what I and you wanted to be. Somewhere along the way we forgot just how great that hero was and how that hero pushed us to be better than we were.

Now, we must face the reality that we have to become our own heroes. We have to step into the silhouette that we have painted and become that person that we always wanted to be. We cannot surrender to the temptation of turning away from who we are now and what we want to be. It’s not in our blood to ignore that greatness we can have.

Let’s begin in the gym. We all “talk a good game” and most of it is nothing more than wishful thinking or self deception. But, as they say, you can have excuses or you can have results but you can’t have both. DECIDE! You want more and you are willing to pay the price to get it. Set your sights on what YOU want again. Dig deep and imagine it. develop a big stockpile of “WANT to” and get going. Example for us muscleheads. We can see ourselves on stage, giving it our all, and picking up our trophy and raising it above our heads and heading down the stairs…..Nothing can stop us now!!! So, let me propose a gigantic memory jogger for all of us who have forgotten who we wanted to be. STOP LYING TO YOURSELF! GET YOUR ASSES OFF THE COUCH! MAKE A PLAN! GET AFTER IT! NEVER LOOK BACK! —-AND WIN!

Being what you wanted to be is the only thing that matters. Prove me wrong and change my mind!

Bottom Line: I have no further advice except, “REMEMBER!”—Nobody can do it for you but too many people depend on us to “REMEMBER” so they can live next to the champion we once imagined ourselves to be.
