<br />
So you want to be successful huh?<br />
Well there is one thing is this world that has the ability to change our whole life in an instant.<br />
You know what it is, <b>its ACTION!</b><br />
So first step, you just need to make a decision.<br />
<br />
<b>Ask yourself this, a year from now, five years from now, what are you going to wish you did today?</b><br />
The secret to getting ahead in this world, is first getting started.<br />
You can't let FEAR stand in the way of your DREAMS!<br />
You cannot think "Oh what if this doesn't work".<br />
If you believe enough in the PROCESS and the END RESULT, success is going to come to you!<br />
It will.<br />
You just have to be willing to see it through to the END!<br />
<br />
But first you just have to jump in the DEEP END!<br />
Once something goes into motion, it stays in motion.<br />
<br />
<b>The process itself feeds the fire</b>, you can't be trapped by FEAR!<br />
<br />
Limits like FEARS, they are ILLUSIONS, disregard them.<br />
If your passionate about it and you go full throttle, there is no doubt, you're going to be good at it.<br />
Because <b>what makes someone good at something?<br />
Its dedication, hard work and doing it with the proper direction and methodology.</b><br />
So if you plug away, you're going to be good.<br />
<br />
<b>But what makes someone a professional at something?</b><br />
It's the concept of taking that little idea, that little decision you make and executing to take it as far as your imagination holds.<br />
<br />
<b>Dedicating every breath in your body, to that single cause.</b><br />
Seeing the grand picture at the end of the road, TO BE THE ABSOLUTE BEST and not settling for any reason.<br />
<br />
<i>It's not talent, it's not innate ability, it simply comes down to how hungry you are!<br />
How hungry are you to improve?<br />
How BIG is your appetite for success?<br />
What are you willing to do to reach your dreams?</i><br />
<br />
<b>The professionals, the best at their craft, they don't care about the naysayers, they don't care about the fun they're foregoing. They don't take days off, they are 100% set in their ways of perfecting their craft!</b><br />
<br />
Because it's all for a much larger purpose than any semblance of immediate gratification provides.<br />
Reaching your goal, well that's just pure bliss!<br />
The higher the expectations, the larger the goal, well the feeling just magnifies!<br />
So what is the difference between you and them?<br />
<br />
<b>The professionals, they are the ones who are willing to knock on the doors of complete exhaustion, every single day.</b><br />
<br />
Now let me define exhaustion for you...exhaustion is at that very point, where it is so damn painful that you just can't push anymore.<br />
That it hurts so bad, you can't even think straight.<br />
<br />
It's in reaching that point, that deep down, <b>you know you did absolutely everything in your power.<br />
That there wasn't one more thing you could have done.</b><br />
<br />
So what's the difference between them and you?<br />
What are you doing at this very moment in time?<br />
Ask yourself this...are you moving closer towards your goals?<br />
Or are you moving farther away from them?<br />
Are you knocking on those doors of exhaustion, or are you just uncomfortable?<br />
<br />
<i>You see, being uncomfortable is NOT exhaustion.<br />
Being uncomfortable is your mind quitting before your body.<br />
Being uncomfortable is just saying no to trying again.</i><br />
<br />
Achieving greatness happens when you're willing to do something that will kill you just to make you better.<br />
<br />
You see, it's easier to buy the ticket to see the game, than it is to be the one to prepare for it.<br />
It's easier to hang out with your friends than it is to hang with the stairs for an hour.<br />
It's easier to sleep in than it is to wake up and do a hundred sprints.<br />
It's easier to go to a party than it is to go ass to the grass in the squats.<br />
It's easier to watch athletes from the couch, than it is to be the one hoisting the trophy.<br />
<br />
But <b>it's also a lot easier to look back on your life and know you gave it your all, than it is to live with<br />
regrets.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Not living up to your potential, well that weighs on your shoulders for a lifetime.</b><br />
<br />
No one ever said that being successful was going to be easy.<br />
But I'll tell you one thing, it sure as hell is worth it!<br />
You are your own maker in this world and there is no such thing as failure.<br />
<br />
You just have to tell it NO!<br />
<br />
Not this time, not with me! I'm gonna try again and again and again and I'm gonna look failure straight<br />
in the face, and I'm gonna tell it that I'm willing to go through all the struggles to reach my dreams!<br />
<br />
Because without struggle, there is never going to be any progress.<br />
<br />
It's all in HOW BAD YOU WANT IT!<br />
How BIG is your appetite for SUCCESS?<br />
Do you just want to fight?<br />
Or are you out there STARVING for it?<br />
<br />
STAY EMPTY!<br />
STAY DRIVEN!<br />
STAY HUNGRY!<br />
<br />

What can really motivate you to exercise? Find out with this quiz

<br>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first things that should be clear in your mind about exercising is why you want to do it. So I need to ask yourself exactly what you want to achieve with exercise. If you think you do not want to achieve anything in particular, I would like you to begin to wonder why you think it would be good to exercise. For now, focus on the benefits (later we will discuss the costs of exercise and why it's worth the effort).<br>
<br>
With some psychological literature, I have designed the following questionnaire for you to begin to identify the reasons why you like -or would like- to exercise. This will help you to know which things can motivate you more when you do not feel like exercising.<br>

<b>Self-report of motives and attitudes towards physical exercise</b><br>
<br>
Below are a number of reasons and beliefs that most people have about physical activity in all its forms (like leisure, like exercise, like sport). Read each statement carefully and answer in what extent each motive or attitude is true -or would be true if you were to practice exercise- specifically for you. Please note that there are no right or wrong answers. <br>
<br>
Answer as honestly as possible and make sure you have available at least ten minutes to think every answer calmly.<br>

Silence the critics: Motivational video

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Today, I share with you one of the best motivational videos I've ever seen. It has the precise words, not too long, not too short. And it gives you the mental energy that you need in order to accomplish a difficult task. Next time, when you'll have to do something hard, think about your critics. Prove them wrong!</div><br />
<center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="433" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Dg2wI4GoxOY" width="535"></iframe><br />
</center><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">You hear that? It's silence. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's when the critics don't have anything more to say. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's when they hide behind their desks. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">That's when they try to muster up some explanation and change their words. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Listen to ME critics. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">You don't know victory and you don't know defeat. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">So it's easy to sit there and say who's going to do what, who's going to crumble, it's easy to say "I'm not good enough". </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's a lot easier to say that it can't be done, than it is to be the one to work to the point where you're the one who's scrutinized. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But you listen to me REAL close now. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's doesn't matter what you or anyone else says about me, because YOU have absolutely no bearing on who I become. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Because all that matters is what I do. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">And <span style="color: red;">you can BET that I'm going to prove you wrong</span>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Because I believe in MYSELF, even if you don't believe in me, and I know what I'll become, even if you can't see it yet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You see, you're on the side lines, you're on the outside, you're not on the field with me, so you don't know what the 50m wind sprint feels like, you're not in the gym with me so you don't know what exhaustion actually is, you're not the one playing with me so you don't know pressure if it hit you in the face. And you're not the one who's under the microscope, <span style="color: red;">because YOU didn't have MY FIRE, you didn't have the drive, and you didn't have the will to get here like I did</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>And when you forgot how I proved you wrong before, I'll show you again and again</b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">And when I failed and you think I have nothing left, that means I'm JUST getting started. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>YOUR words, they don't predict the outcome, they don't set up my destiny, all they do though is add fuel to my FIRE.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b> </b> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Washed up, over the hill, too slow, too short, inexperienced, can't post up, can't shoot, ball hog, not enough heart, can't play defense, can't win the big one, what do you got man? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Come on, spit it out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>YOUR WORDS, THEY FUEL ME.</b> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So it's all good, <b>tell me I'm not good enough, tell me that I can't do it, cause I'm going to show you over and over again.... that I CAN. </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Silence is golden!<br />
