Sports motivation!

Somewhere, someone is practicing. When you meet that person on the field, face to face, one on one, he will beat you. Unless that person practicing is you. So run the stairs, crank the corners, hit the wall, and when you feel like giving up, think, is that person giving up?

Some people think you train with your body, but that does not quite cut it. Every body gets tiret during training, even athletes have this problem, it’s natural. That’s when the mind comes in and you have to push yourself beyond known limits.

The mind has to bend the limits the body thinks it has. A strong body with a weak mind won’t train and will get weak over time.

Start to train and train hard, it’s all about the mindset.

Discipline, Mastery and Improvisation

It is only through discipline that we achieve mastery. From mastery comes improvisation, and only through improvisation can we truly create something worth sharing.

About getting Motivation back

Posted on by

Whenever you are working on a task, may it be your homework or your lifetime dream,

and you come to that point when your motivation drops away. There are two ways to get your motivation back on track. First you can focus on the part you already achieved. Second you can focus on you goal and imagine how great you’ll feel once you’ve reached it. But these two strategies don’t always work same as good.

So… when you haven’t even finished the first half of you task it is much more motivating to focus on the progress you already made instead of the far away goal. But when you work on and your goal and it comes in sight its better to focus on the approaching sucess. Mind this and get yourself motivated again…

About sleep

Brace yourselves, this is a big one!

I’ve always figured out that there 24 hours a day. You sleep six hours and have 18 hours left. Now, I know there are some of you out there that say well, wait a minute, I sleep eight hours or nine hours. Well, then, just sleep faster, I would recommend.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

I love this quote by Arnold which comes from a speech he gave at the University of Southern California on May 15th 2009. Not only is Arnold Schwarzenegger a perfect example of a successful person that does not sleep much, the speech also shows that even under great pressure (both for the mind and the body) you can do a shitload of amazing stuff. In fact: Without asking much from your body you won’t be able to sleep less. Here goes why:

About self-discipline

He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.

Lao-Tzu

Forcing others to do something you want requires strength, but is extremely easy compared to forcing yourself to do something. Think about the last time you had an argument with yourself and the lazy you won. Got one? Next time you will win! Become mighty, become disciplined!

It is about getting things done

The best job goes to the person who can get it done without passing the buck or coming back with excuses.

Napoleon Hill

When someone gives you an important task and you want to impress this certain somebody then remember to GET IT DONE!

If course it seems reasonable to come back with a good excuse and he will most likely not judge you if you have good reasons, but what is more important is that the person remembers giving you a task and you being unable to complete it.

No matter how good the reason, the next time he will think of someone to complete an important task he will not think like
“Who could get it done if there were no obstacles”
but rather
“Who gets my shit done without coming back to me before he is finished with a task”.
You may be lucky enough that there is not such a person and you as the second choice will still be the man to do the job but would it not be better to be the first choice to begin with?

Of course it would be. And that is why you get your shit done! If someone gives you a task and you want to help him out, you get it done.

By the way, this is one of the very idealistic posts, don’t take it literally. There are perfect reasons for coming back to a person without having fullfilled their tasks but this is a general idea of how work should function and how delegation of work should apply.

Let’s do this!

Okay, this is pretty rough stuff, but it is motivating like hell, enjoy!

If things went all medieval and you had to fight a guy like me over your girl, I’d ravage your ass and take her. You okay with that?

When your girl is out with her friends, she’s checkin’ me out because I’ve worked to improve my appearance and it shows. You okay with that?

You think you’re safe out here in this world? You think it’s okay to be this unfit, lazy little monger? You know you’re not safe in your job, I’m sure. Every day you go above and beyond to make sure that the cutthroat guillotine of labor supply doesn’t mutilate you into an unrecognizable, unemployed piece of shit. Why do you think it’s different with your fitness?

How’d you get to where you are? People look at you and laugh. People use you as a benchmark to change their own habits. You okay with that?

Let’s get it poppin’, kid. No relapses. It’s kill or be killed out here: it always has been. Sure, we changed the rules a little and added our own little trifling sense of justice and morality. But nothing’s really changed.

Don’t be one of these assholes making pathetic reoccurring attempts to change their lifestyle. Don’t whine about it. You’ve got self-discipline and nothing else in this life. You’ve got one try: to fail once is to fail every time. In six months, you’re either going to be a pathetic, guilt-ridden failure, or a fucking tribute to human will. Your bitch of a mother-in-law will make comments like “I can’t believe it…” Your girl will get nervous about how much you can accomplish just by setting your mind to it and start asking you to tell her she’s good enough for you. Assholes who taunted you will have nothing… nothing… to say. You did something they either simply couldn’t even begin, or tried and failed miserably.

And then when my girl is out with her friends, she’ll be checking you out, motherfucker. Let’s do this!

Work with your fear

If you are afraid to fall,

you will wall because you are afraid

I don’t know where this is from, it is often used around Traceurs and Freerunners but can be transferred to any situation in life.

Everyone is scared and so are you. That is not a bad thing. It is important to learn how to work with your fear, use it as a source of energy. Don’t let it drag you down!
