Motivation
So we're all here to look good, but don't neglect to better yourself inside as well. Like a baus.
Strong has no number! Strength is being able to take a beating, feel like the chips are down, that you will not survive, and get back up and look those fear right in the eyes and push forward! GLADIATOR THE FXCK UP!!!
The ties that bind exist solely in our minds, as does the power to cut those ties. Make sure that the things you anchor yourself to for stability are not, in fact, just holding you back.
Life doesn't give a fxck about fair. It can and will knock you down, and it can and will kick you while you're there. Strengthen yourself and your resolve! The only thing you can control is how YOU act! GLADIATOR UP!!!
Fully immersed in all things, the quality of the things I do will decide the quality of my self. It's good to have a lifestyle that will lead me somewhere positive.
What do you want to be? Whatever it is, it is within you to be it! The mind can make and break all dreams, but is entirely under your own control. Chase your dreams and dismantle your doubts.
Excellence is not an act committed out of expectation of some great reward. Excellence is a habit. Whatever comes will be 10 times greater if you can separate your desire for gratification from living a healthy lifestyle, for it's own sake.
Rule 1: Focus on what you can control.
Rule 2: All you can control for certain is your judgment.
Rule 3: What is beyond your control is none of your business.
Every failure is a learning opportunity, and a chance to try again. Learn, grow stronger, fail better, then win.
It's rest day, so I do what I always do. Eat, nap, some light cardio and think about weights... It's exhausting. LOL! Stay strong BBfam, be persistent and we could all make legends of ourselves.
The first step to taking self-control is to affirm your power of rational judgment, the rational power within. To cultivate the inner strength to maintain a calm and balanced state of mind, you need to celebrate this power over all other things.
Mikel, Densy, Kimmy... This one is for you guys! LOL!
By the way, I tried office dips... bent my desk! Now I'm too embarrassed to tell maintenance what happened.
Strength is built by overcoming our failures. Wisdom is gained by learning from them. Pride is earned by recognizing that we have done both. You are always becoming something new. Commit to making it something special.
This only really applied for the first few months, after I started seeing the changes I became a junkie... The best kind of junkie you can be, a FITNESS JUNKIE!
Show up! Put in work! You'll be thankful that you did later!
Put in that work. It's your down payment on sexy.
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
MLK Jr qoutes on the fitboard posts I made today in honor of the 50 year anniversary of the March for Jobs and Freedom.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
Every failure, every stumbling block, every trial we face is merely an opportunity to try again, but with greater wisdom. Never falter, never give up, and never, ever, settle.
The great do not endure hardships because they are great. Instead, they are great because the hardships they have endured have made them so. If you welcome challenges as an opportunity to improve, rather than avoid them, you will find true strength.
