Everyone Wants to be a Beast ~ Monday Motivation

Everyone wants to be a beast until it’s time to do what a beast does. You see the Olympian with a gold medal, you see the man with the perfect family and the big nice house, you hear a musician’s song on the radio #1 hit. You see your favorite bodybuilder, with that perfect body that you want. And we all say “I WANT THAT! I REALLY WANT THAT!” well guess what?

We all want that. Everyone wants something, everyone wants to feel proud and successful, but then you realize all the work that goes into becoming something, into becoming someone! And suddenly, you forget that you ever wanted that. Or maybe we get scared, give up, and think we just don’t have what it takes to get there. We are afraid to get out of out comfort zone. We care so much what others think. We shut ourselves down and give reason why it was okay to do so.

You have no idea, what it took for that bodybuilder to look the way he does. All the late nights cooking after a long day, All the pain in the gym, late night training sessions, early morning training sessions. Constantly counting your food, feeling hungry, feeling too full. And even when they are putting in all this work day and night just to get their physique to look the way they want it to, they still look into the mirror, and think “no this is not enough”. Meanwhile they have to balance everything else in their life: work, school, relationships, etc. all of the things life throws at all of us. But at the end of the day, all you see is that person smiling at the finish line. You didn’t see what they had to go through to get there, all the hustle.

You have no idea what it took that Husband, father to have that beautiful home. Those hard hours of work, doing overtime. Having to give up family time, family trips to keep working hard to pay for his family's home. Yet I'm sure everyone criticizes him for not showing up or not having date night with his wife because he's so exhausted trying to hold everything in place so that his family does not have to suffer.

People look at them and think “they are so lucky, they have a nice body”, or whatever else it may be. Ask yourself? “Was it luck?” no it was not luck. It was hard work, dedication, consistency, persistence, constantly growing and pushing your limits. So, don’t go around feeling bad for yourself and crying because you don’t have the results, for the work that you did not do. Stop whining for not having what you want, and get up and work hard for what you want.

Realize that this applies to everything in life, a degree, relationship, house, career, Fitness,anything!

New Week, New opportunity to be a beast.
