“I don’t start counting rep’s UNTIL it begins to hurt because THAT is when it counts” THIS is how champions are MADE.
DANGGGGGGGG when I read that I thought HOW TRUE.
NOT just in fitness. But in LIFE.
In life we often FOCUS on the good times and want to run away from the hard times, the bad days, the CLIMB if you will.
But recently I have learned THAT is where WE are made. THAT is where we LEARN lessons.
In the past 20 months my life has changed DRASTICALLY and I think its because of ONE KEY mental switch. I all the sudden STOPPED wanting to be in the good part of my life and started FOCUSING on what I COULD LEARN from the struggles and then SHOW OTHERS.
THIS is not easy.
ALL my life I wanted the easy way, the straight to the top way, the way when I looked at others who seemingly had it all and didn’t have to struggle. I often BLAMED everything around me on why I wasn’t succeeding, why I had anxiety, why I couldn’t try my best… did you ever find yourself doing that?
Lately, a LOT of people have asked me WHY I am such a successful coach SO QUICK and I want to be VERY candid. YES, the company is AMAZING, the products changed my health – BUT I think the TRUE reason for the success is it was the FIRST time in my ADULT life someone looked at me and said “YOU are where you are BECAUSE OF YOU and no one else” and I realized IF I didn’t SNAP OUT OF IT and take ownership over my life, someone else would DICTATE where I went the entire time.
I find myself looking at the hard times a LOT, the times where I thought my debt would never go away, where I thought I would be working till I was 110 years old, WAITING for vacation to come, the times where I thought I would never be truly happy AND I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR IT (weird right?). BECAUSE THOSE are the time that matter. HOW YOU PULL YOURSELF out of them is WHAT COUNTS. The great times are GREAT but the hard times are what teach you WHO you CAN be. JUST like my grandmom used to say, you really tell who people are when they are struggling.
Will you be a champion?
What’s the lesson? Don’t EVER run from a challenge, give up when its hard, wish something didn’t happen, blame where you are on outside sources…. THAT is when you start counting the REPS, THAT is what makes you a champion.
#KeepFighting
