This is a real “GUT CHECK” for all of us, especially me! Let’s just say that I am writing this article to me and you can just follow along and look in on the things I have to face in order to be better than I am today.
When there is a challenge ahead like, a show, an event, or some new clothes I want to fit into, I have to take sometime to get alone and decide that whatever is in front of me I have to decide it is worth it and get started. Let’s stick to a bodybuilding competition that is on the calendar. This date will bug me until I address what is required to be ready.
The choices at this juncture are simple but I dare not over look any of the steps. First, as I said, I must decide that this show is worth it. I have to make this show something that has all my attention and all preparation flows into the date of the show. This is where I have to decide that I want to to be better this time on stage than last time. I’ve got to reach deep inside my gut to create a “WANT TO” that lights the way. I have to believe that I can do it. A trade secret of mine is that I have to create a goal that forces me to be my best so that I never stop pushing myself. This is what makes me want to be better. I want to be better so badly I can taste the effort. I don’t naturally just “want” to be better, I have to create a requirement to be better. I want to better because my goal says I must be better. So, let’s break it down a bit more. I am weak but I want to be a winner and being a winner requires me to better. The show date forces me to give it my all. Nobody has to motivate me once the date for the show is set, I need self appointed goals to establish how bad I want to be better. my desire to better cannot occur without the goal. Crazy I know but it’s this process that defines for me how badly I want to better myself.
Each of us must first decide that we want to better ourselves then decide how badly we want it. Then, we have to set up the path forward. Pick something bigger than yourself that only you can attain. Never compare yourself to others. Just lower your head an plunge forward until your arrive at your goal attainment.
Thank you for listening in on my introspection. I know it sounds a little bizarre but then anything worth doing will require us to “think outside the box.”
Bottom Line: Decide you want to better yourself. Decide what tool or construct you must put into place to push your or attract you. Get started. Talk to nobody. This journey is yours and you share it with nobody. Arrive and see how many people notice your winning self. Unsolicited compliments are the best. Go for it and make sure you want the greatness that you set before you….and WIN!
