There are times in our lives where we give it all and we seemingly get nothing in return. In fact, there exists a point where we actually disappoint ourselves, our friends, our associates and so many others we love. This is not a juncture we want to experience and when we do we must reach deep inside to forgive ourselves, apologize to those we have disappointed and go on. All of us has had this terrible moment. It is here that we must face ourselves and show our “mettle”. It is at this place that we have to be better than we are and sometimes much better than others who will try to demean us. Let me say that this is a current situation. But, it is also a situation that I must overcome and be better.
I won’t bore you with too many details. My most recent crisis is with my weight. I try hard and do good and then I fail to pay attention and I’m back at the starting line. It’s not that I don’t know how but this run at my prep is a “bear” and it’s killing me. I will solve the equation but it puts me into a bad frame of mind and I want to quit. I have to lose 15 lbs.
But suffice it to say the battle to be my best is never over. I’ve already let go and I’m putting on my game face. I have already set a new goal, a new reason for continuing. Thanks for listening to all that. Here’s the plan: 1.) Circle the calendar for the next show 2.) Make the plan with the help of a carefully selected coach 3.) Get my wife on board so that no matter the hard trail she is with me all the way–without my wife I can do nothing. 4.) Begin and be faithful to the plan. Don’t miss workouts or opportunities to excel. 5.) Never look back and be determined to be your best in every way.
Somebody recently said: “The best cure for depression or failure is to work your asses off.” When you are engaged and working you don’t have time for regrets or depression.
This year I have gigantic goals and I don’t need any psychological, spiritual, or imagined burdens. Carrying all this does not allow me to run fast, jump high or to win. Neither do any of us. Reflect deeply about what you want and be about the business of working for it. Do not wait for a crisis to motivate you. Having your back against the wall is never a good starting point.
Bottom Line: Never give up. You set your own course. You surrender only to your own defined defeat. So never accept defeat. This is your life so go WIN!
