I was made fun of for having unrealistic goals
I overcame adversity and succeeded.

BEING REALISTIC IS THE MOST COMMON ROAD TRAVELED TO BEING MEDIOCRE
"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve"
Saying you will start and finding a way to start in spite of the bump gives a tremendous feeling of success, deep trust in your own integrity and a strong feeling of security about the trustworthiness of your own future promises.
1. Take a serious look at what you let defeat you. The majority of times, most people let small things defeat them. Take the attitude that you will not be defeated.
2. Hold your end goal in mind...in this case fitness...and being healthy and mobile all your life. Realize that the only way to that goal is by keeping the commitments every day that will get you there. Don’t be stopped by small things.
3. When you are planning to start something new, be sure to consider carefully a starting date and time when you know you will have guaranteed success. Usually starting something new when you are already over-committed is a form of self sabotage. Figure out a way to clear your schedule and free up the time for your new endeavor.
4. Take into consideration your personality characteristics. If you are not a "morning person", don’t expect to succeed in an effort to exercise by getting up earlier every day. You’ll do better to use exercise as an after work activity...a break between work and home.
5. Another way ensure success is to choose to start at a time when you know you can put the required effort into it. Make sure that there are no obstacles to your success in the next 3-4 weeks. Be sure you have a clear path ahead to set a new habit into place. If you want to lose weight, don’t plan to start on a week where you will be going to several social events where there is food.
6. Create back up plans and alternate actions you can take to succeed if your first plan does not work out for unforeseeable reasons. Always know in advance what you will do if your first plan does not work out.
FORGET THE HATERS WHO CAN’T DO IT THEMSELVES!!!
They are not worth your time and are going to eat themselves later when your hard work pays off. Learn to draw strength from the negatives and setbacks. I believe the champion attitude is partly what a man is born with, partly developed in the childhood (family, friends, activities that develop leadership and other factors come in play) and a choice. A choice to believe in yourself, a choice to work on your external motivators, a choice to train, diet, learn, improve!
One thing is for sure – without the strong mindset foundation, your path to that great body becomes much trickier.
Building a dream body is the endeavor where it’s all up to you. You and only you are responsible for your success. Yeah, support from family and friends helps, but at the end of the day it’s YOU who has to give a 100% at the gym, YOU have to wake up 2am at the morning to eat the meal you skipped last day, YOU have to be consistent for years, YOU have to be smart enough to follow and adjust the right system, all this – all day – every day!
I WILL ACCOMPLISH MY GOAL
This is the place where it’s not about luck (Yes, great genetics are a matter of luck, but you can do it without them!). It’s not about knowing people. It’s not about possessing some secret knowledge. Stop hiding behind excuses – I don’t have the time, results don’t come as fast as I want, I got a headache, I’m too fat/thin/old, I just can’t, I will do it next week, I’m not the athletic type, I don’t want people to laugh at me ...you can find a MILLION reasons why not.
This is the arena where you can prove yourself! The steps are right in front of you. Just do it. Don’t be average. Don’t have a plan B. It absolutely has to work! Make it work. Aim higher.
It’s not easy. Having a truly great body is an incredibly hard task to achieve, especially if you don’t go the easy way with steroids, and people know that.
