Workout Motivation

We have all been there. Waking up in the morning wondering and contemplating if going to the gym is really what we want to do today. Every morning you wake up with a choice to better yourself or do you want to just keep going through the motions. Today is the day you wake up with the burning passion to go to the gym and give everything you have.

We all have aspirations or goals we want to achieve. Maybe that's losing that extra few pounds, putting on muscle, or maybe even becoming a personal trainer. Everything you are going to do in your fitness journey is going to be time bound. You can just accomplish these amazing goals in one day or one week. Great feats take time and you have to be willing to put in the work and make this dreams become reality. You can and will achieve anything you put your mind to. Whether that be fitness or business or whatever if you are willing to put the work in you will be able to accomplish great things. Now I realize that this is a fitness blog, but I have witnessed too many people quitting on there dreams and accepting that where they are in life right now is the best they can be. This is so amazingly wrong that I had to talk about it. You need to be able to sacrifice and dedicate yourself to your betterment and one day you will become the person you are dreaming to be.

Here's a little story by Eric Thomas that I feel really puts into perspective how much work it takes to really go get your dreams. That's not to say you cant do it but you have to be able to work hard for it.

There was a young man, you know, who wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this guru, right. And he told the guru you know I wanna be on the same level you are and the guru said if you wanna be on the same level I’m on, I’ll met you tomorrow at the beach. So the young man got there 4 A.M. he already to rock n’ roll. Got on a suit should of wore shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said: How bad do you wanna be successful? He said: “Real bad”. He said: Walk on out in the water. So he walks out into the water. Watch this. When he walks out to the water he goes waist deep and goes like this guy crazy. Hey I wanna make money and he got me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I wanna make money he got me in so he said come on a little further walked out a little further then he had it right around this area the shoulder area so this old man crazy he making money but he crazy. So he said come on out a little further came out a little further, it was right at his mouth my man, I’m not about to go back in this guy is out of his mind. And the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?” He said: “I do.” He said: “Then walk a little further.” He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down, my man (kept scratching) hold him down, he had him held down, just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said: “I got a question for you.” He told the guy, he said: “When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe than you will be successful.”
