There is no magic pill. There is no overnight sensation. There is only hard work, determination and focus.
You cannot change your body without changing your habits and your mind-set.
If you have stalled in your progress or never been able to make any progress you must accept that you need to do things differently.
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein
Mental focus is hard to maintain yet success is built upon its foundations. You must be mentally prepared for the task ahead. You must be able to brush off disparaging and discouraging comments form others. Ultimately it is you who will succeed while those not prepared to make change will remain the same.
There may be bitterness and resentment because you are able to do what they choose not to. Mental fortitude to make the right choices will carry you to your goals.
“We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people”.—Arthur Schopenhauer
Do not forsake your friends but bare in mind how they may influence you and be mentally prepared to repel their influence if is it detrimental to you reaching your goals.
“You better live your best and act your best and think your best today, for today is the sure preparation for tomorrow and all the other tomorrows that follow.”—Harriet Martineau
So whatever your current body shape or stage of training – be proud of where you are right now and give yourself the best for your body. The journey to transformation begins with taking action and sticking to it. Get yourself a great training programme, stick to it, and I guarantee that you will experience a transformation that goes way beyond your expectations.
Well, that’s enough philosophy for now! Time to focus in on that 300 kilo lift…
All the best,
Ben
