When it comes to training, some people look forward to
getting their ass kicked because they're getting something out of it and they've earned what they put into it but others feel it’s a punishment because
they didn't do it the day before or something that makes them feel it’s
something they have no choice to do and they hate themselves for it. It’s
really all in their thick ass skulls and whatever reason they have it’s either
going to happen or not.
The mindset
that can make you or break you really all comes down to just one person and
that’s who you look at in the mirror everyday. You can have people train you,
you can watch all those dumb ass cardio dvds like hip hop abs or that really
annoying Insanity crap and you can even drive to the gym and run on a treadmill
(really idiotic I’d say) but nobody really tells you what to do unless you get
yourself doing it. If you really want to enjoy what you do, you have to change
the way you think because if all you're going to be is miserable it’s your own
fault because you thought it was going to be that way. Being happy in what you
do means you make things happen, you make the effort and you even push yourself
without bitching or complaining. See the difference?
My
philosophy is if you want the best learn from the best but make it your own.
Following others all the time won’t make you reach your potential to where you
want it to be. To be the best you can be, learn how all the things you were
taught and create something for yourself. I know what it’s like, I've read the
magazines and tried to follow what they do and guess what happened, minor
injuries, sores, back pain, pulled muscles and even couldn’t move out of bed at
times so I switched things around after my accident. I learned a few things but
I did not follow exactly to the T what they said, I made up 90% of the stuff I
learned because I wanted to create something for myself. So I say this, you can
be the sheep for a little bit but eventually you'll want to be the Shepherd and
build your own following and teach them to be the Shepherd.
In the
wild, some animals travel in packs, some are solo and some are in between but
for the most part they do what they can to survive, they don't listen to the
latest trend or what’s been studied, they do what they need to do because their
mind is programmed that way. Make things happen by learning and finding how
things work and run with it. Be happy with what you have but don’t ever be
satisfied because there’s so much more you can do but do it one at a time.
Find what
you want to do. Learn from the best and learn to venture out on your own to
build your own thing after mastering the basic things you want to do. We are
all different and have different needs and goals we want to achieve so master the
foundation and progress on your own after because no one knows your body like
you do and you know what functions well and what doesn’t. Be who you are and be
a first rate self and not a second rate somebody because the majority of people
end up being the ladder and are too damn scared to discover something in
themselves.
