STAYING MOTIVATED!!

Getting on the recumbent bike at the gym next to your best friend, punching in on the key pads the "Personal Trainer" program, and chatting about the new gossip, who's pregnant etc, while going so slow you don't realize you've actually started peddling backwards .. IS NOT working out! Get over yourself.  I'm sorry but that's not going to get you anywhere. You are supposed to sweat while working out.  So don't try and not sweat because you're only wasting your own time.  "I don't like to sweat" wah wah cry about it. Take a shower. If you don't want to put in the effort yourself,  then you WILL NEVER reach your goals. If your not where you want to be...IT IS entirely 100% your own fault. SO stop crying about it and get out there and work towards achieving your goals.  NO one can do it for you or hold your hand..IT'S YOU and only you. Don't be afraid of failure. If your so afraid of failing that you don't TRY then success will surely never have it's chances with you. To reach goals there needs to be some sort of motivation in mind. Something that's going to keep you fighting through the most challenging times. Pain is a good motivator. If you haven't reached your goals maybe you don't have enough pain in your life, or fear of losing something if you don't conquer those goals. Maybe your just too comfortable. Working and achieving goals can be a long process.  So don't expect anything to happen overnight. Setting smaller goals and slowly working up to the Grand goal is a good way to start. In life you don't deserve anything. What you deserve is to work towards success and those goals. Nothing comes for free. Nothing is going to be handed to you on a silver platter, money, fame, a nice body, a successful career etc...you DON'T deserve any of it.. Ask yourself..What are the painful stimuli that's going to keep you motivated in moving positively towards your goals?..

Stay Positive, until next time...

"The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before."  -Steve Young

"Good things don't happen by coincidence. Every dream carries with it certain risks, especially the risk of failure. But I am not stopped by risks. Suppose a great person takes the risk and fails. Then the person must try again. You cannot fail forever. If you try ten times, you have a better chance of making it on the eleventh try than if you didn't try at all."
