Success is a Decision

Success is a Decision

Every single successful person that you look up to…

Every single person who inspires you…

All the people who you think are somehow “gifted” or “lucky”…

They are no different than you and me.

A lot of them aren’t even fucking intelligent.

In fact, some of them are dumb.

I know multi-millionaires who don’t even know the difference between “your” and “you’re.”

That’s the truth.

The only real difference between you and them … is they decided to go out and do something with their life…

…and never looked back.

When are you going to make the same decision for yourself?

Don’t give in ~ Dig In !!!

Never Give Up ~ Dig In !!!

Hi Folks,

Each time before doing challenging workouts I know my ass will get kicked big time. But also reminded me of a read from Navy SEAL Richard Machowicz (this guy is the Real Deal, and Awesome guy, too!!!), “We all have conversations with ourselves all the time and they play a tremendous role in what we do. The conversation that one has with him or herself is what kills you.
Especially under extremely stressful situations like “hell week” where you are almost up for 110 hours a week! I had to get myself in the mindset of never giving up no matter what. A buddy of mine gave me a quote which stated, “A man can only be beaten in two ways: if he gives up or he dies.” I had that quote in my wallet until the pencil marks rubbed off. I really lived that motto. I decided that if I am *not dead*, then I *cannot quit.*”

Have read where intense training is as much mental as physical. That it builds a person that will not quit; developing their heart. If you do not have heart, you could be the greatest athlete in the world. However you are going to cave when the pressure comes. You have to have the guts to finish what you start.

Also Mr. Richard Machowicz stated, “if people can say yes to the following three questions, they have the guts to finish anything: **

*1. Are you willing to make a choice? *Very rarely do people make choices that fundamentally effect their lives. For example, changing channels on the TV is not something that fundamentally effects your life. You have to step up to the plate and make a fundamental life changing choice.

**2. Do you have the courage to start now?* We get people that make choices but do not do anything to get started. Half the people that made a choice drop out at this stage. They do not take the first step to move in the direction that they want.

***3. Do you have the commitment to finish?* You can start, but can you finish? This is where most people disappear. Very few people finish. People can start things, but can they see it through the end? Can they be there when it matters?

Would further like to share a video that has really been inspiring.

It’s on YouTube and here’s the link….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vB59PkB0eQ&feature=player_embedded
