Motivation Tip

Calling it luck is an inferior minds way of rationalizing the fact that they did not have the mental strength and intestinal fortitude to try, endure and finish.

Success, however you define it is not a product of luck. I won’t even simplify that it’s a product of hard work. Any fool can work hard. It is more about the decisions we make based on the standards we have set for ourselves. Whether it’s being dissatisfied with a 90 on a test when only 100 will do. Working 50 hours at your job instead of 40, regardless of getting paid overtime or anyone even noticing. Or something as simple as a 1.4 mile up hill sprint at a 60% incline. Why? Because a treadmill was my 90, or my 40 hours, it would  be accepting the easy way out, lowering the expectations of myself.

RAISE YOUR STANDARDS. Not just in the gym, but in life. RAISE THE EXPECTATIONS of yourself. Across the board. Professionally, academically, socially, personally and physically. GET COMFORTABLE BEING UNCOMFORTABLE. Redefine your comfort zone. 

If you can do that…..well you will never hope or dream of success ever again, but rather you will be deciding what endeavor you will conquer next….
