We learn as we get older who we are and what we become,
sometimes it’s early sometimes late and very rarely at the right place at the
right time. The bad thing about that is people will tell you what you can and can't do to be successful but in the end it’s up to you how your life is made.
There will be people who want to bring you down yet those
same people should be your biggest motivators. You have dreams and goals and
you either don't accomplish them or you do, one way or another the one person
who’s going to criticize you the most is the one you're looking at in the
mirror. Those same people who want you to fail not only got you to fail but
made you fall for the things they said about you. They didn't really make you
fail; it was you who failed yourself.
It’s not easy being motivated to go after something you want
to accomplish. No matter how many excuses you come up with or how many people
tell you can't do something the one person holding you back is you. If you want
something bad enough, you'll find a way to get there with or without someone’s
encouragement. In fitness there are as many critics as there is in Art,
Sports, Business and Politics, when you want to accomplish something, there
will be some people who will hate you for it not because of your ambitions but
because they're too damn scared or can’t understand so they radiate negative
energy towards you. Never let this happen to you.
I've had many setbacks in my life, I've cheated death a few
times, didn't understand how my body worked when I was recovering from
meningitis and I was told I wouldn't be able to very athletic and strong. It
happens to all of us but the point I'm making it is if you want to go after
something, you do it period. I can tell you stories about some of the guys who
have overcome major obstacles in their life but it’s all just words, actions
speak louder than words and it’s up to you who you want to become. Are you
going to sit there and let people give you all the crap and let you fail, or you
going to make things happen and show them that if you're going to fail or
succeed, you're going to do it on your own terms?
You've been told either your whole life or at some point in
your life that you're either going to be successful or you'll fail so when is
it enough for you? You are your biggest critique, not them not anything else, you
are the one who will take a stand or just plummet like the others who just let
themselves go and not get anywhere. Criticizing yourself can make you or break
you which one is it?
Look to where you want to go, feel that power of
accomplishment before it even happens then set it to action, listen and learn
how to make yourself better little by little. Build a foundation for what goals
you want to accomplish, don't forget that 2 sided coin of those who encourage
you and those that want you to fail, believe it or not they're both important
because when you do accomplish something the ones who did encourage you will
help you even more, the ones that wanted you to fail are the ones kicking
themselves and feel even more crappier then they did before and might even give
you a bit of a clap because you triumphed over your obstacles and did something
they didn’t believe you could do. Get in the habit of making yourself successful
no matter what the challenge is, I believe in you, there are others that
believe in you, don’t let your goals and dreams die, they’re a key to making
your life the way you always wanted.
