I think in everyones life, there's a moment were you reach rock bottom and feel hopeless. This can be a result from a death of a loved one, an injury, bullying, a breakup from a relationship, etc. The problem with many people is that they can't get back up after these events. This is were motivation has to kick in. Getting back up and fighting back is what gets your name out and makes you want to accomplish things you thought were impossible.Â
In my case, I suffered from the death of my grandfather, injury, and the breakup of a girl I onced loved. My grandfather always told me to be strong, and to exercise everyday and I will never quit on him no matter what. He was a second father to me, a best friend, and a person i never wanted to let go. In 2010, he passed away. He fought through kidney cancer so I decided to fight for him. Immediately after his death, I began lifting. I know he's watching over me, and he'd be proud of who I'm becoming.Â
My ex girlfriend gives me energy and strength. When I think of her and the memories we had together, I get sad and mad at the same time. I let this anger out at the gym. Just thinking of her made me want to kill it in the gym. I had so much feelings for her and in the end I was heart broken. She once told me, I couldn't be the person I wanted to become. After breaking up with her, I told myself I wanted to become someone incredible. I wanted to become that person she told me I could never be!
Together, these two people play a major role in my life. They give me the extra push to knock out more reps than needed. They give me the desire to never give up. Â Because of them, I give all my work 110%. These moments changed my life and who I am. I'll never quit because of them, and I hope they see compete against the best one day.Â
As life goes on, we experience new challenges. We need to be able to get passed them no matter how hard they hit us. That's what makes us who we are!Â
NOW SHUTTUP AND LIFT!!Â
Bodybuilding has always been there for me and I feel like it will make into someone incredible in the future. I put a lot of time into bodybuilding, and i know my hardwork will someday pay off. What I love about lifting is that it takes my mind off lots of stress. I feel like im in another world when im realy focused into the workouts. I don't think anyone will truly understand the emotions I have when I lift. Not even my closest friends/ family members know what goes on in my head when Im exercising. That's why I prefer lifting alone, than with a training partner. During school I train and help a few friends, but during the summer I work alone.
Hard work always pays off in the end. For now I'm putting everything to the side until my work pays off. My main priority rite now is school and bodybuilding.
It's Me vs All. Ignore those so called friends because they will only make you weaker. People can judge, but I love what I am doing, and I'll never give up!
