If you want to get into great shape you use failure and frustration to fuel you. AND DONT DARE SAY YOU CAN'T! There is no such thing as can't! YOU EITHER DON'T WANT TO OR YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO! Now, if its because you don't know how to, you're in the right place.
The key to it all is WANT. Think back on any time you failed at something that you know you could have achieved. It is highly likely that the reason behind the failure was that you just didn't WANT IT bad enough. Now think about a time in your life when you know you really wanted something so bad that no challenge or obstacle could keep you from achieving that. In these instances failure is never a final option. Those who have an attitude that focuses only on success will create just that. We learn the lessons from our past failures to create current and future success.
Im going to veer off into some subject matter that should help give perspective. Those with the toughest mental attitude can fail the majority of the time and still be a success. Take for instance every professional baseball player that has ever lived. Every single one of them has failed more as a hitter than they have succeeded. Now, do you think that a guy that gets paid more than the president is considered by most to be a failure? Well, only to the most critical of fans, maybe. For those of you who are not baseball savvy please bear reading just a bit more. A very good batting average for a professional baseball player is .300. That means that the elite of the sport fail 7 out of 10 times. When was the last time you saw a guy strike out and decide to just quit or give up? The point Im getting at is that you don't have to always win to be successful. You just have to learn how to win at what you really want and don't stop until you do, and even then don't stop because it can slip right away from you. Also, do not ever dwell on failure. You have to step back up to the plate. Again, learn from it and move on. Baseball players are taught to have very short memories when it comes to failure. Never focus on what you're doing wrong. Instead focus on what you're not doing right then make the adjustment. You focus on the success of the future! However, the success of the future relies 100% on the attitude and action of the here and now. Take action now, even if it is simply sitting in your bedroom or office and changing your attitude toward success and action. Now I will say this, being consistent in getting in shape is way easier than being consistent at hitting a 92 mph fastball. Believe me I know because I've attempted both and I've been way more successful at getting and staying in shape.
We fail 100% of the times we don't make the attempt or put forth the effort. In terms of finality there is no try or tried, you either do/did or you don't/didn't. Try implies failure. Just do it, no matter how many attempts and how much effort it takes. You will always get it right eventually if you refuse to fail and accept only success!
Learn what works for your body and continue to improve on it. There is always room for improvement no matter how good looking you are. Even the most elite athlete practices constantly to get better. The best attitude you can possibly have is to always WANT TO GET BETTER!
I encourage any queries pertaining to exercise or nutrition specifics. My purpose here is to educate and inform. I am looking to do my next entry on getting ready for spring swimsuit season. Please feel free to ask anything and I'll try to include it in the next entry. I am here to help.
Sincerely,
William Tyre
