Who needs silly quotes when you think that every single day that you have on this earth is another chance to improve yourself, to take yourself higher, to be worthy of the bountiful gifts that are bestowed on you.

Here's what keeps me going:

When I wake up in the morning and I feel my legs, my arms, all my fingers and toes, my hair spread across the pillow, my heart pumping - the LIFE flowing through my body - when I wake up and know that I am alive and my body is strong and healthy and has all the right parts in the right places and they all work as they are supposed to.

When I head into the kitchen and I can CHOOSE what I wish to eat. I actually have a CHOICE! I can have oatmeal, or rice, or eggs, or chocolate if I want it, I can have skim or whole milk, I can have Cocoa Pops if I really want to! Or if I REALLY want to, I can have ALL of them! I turn on the tap and CLEAN fresh water comes out of it! I can CHOOSE to go to the gym if I want to. I can EVEN CHOOSE which gym shoes I want to wear.

Jesus fucking christ people, do you have any CLUE at ALL how lucky you are??? We are the elite of the elite on this ragged planet - we are blessed with so much we are spoilt with plenty. Frankly, anyone who has a choice and doesn't strive to achieve the absolute highest peak of their potential, physically and mentally and emotionally and in every way possible, is a waste of good clean air.

OK, I'll step off my podium now - I promise, I'm not a religious zealot - I just feel so lucky to be alive. Life is so beautiful ...

steelweaver: nice post, I have never rreally thought about it that way...

Honestly it is my pride that keeps me going when others fail. I don't give in because I know somewhere inside there is greatness ready to be unleashed. The fury I feel overwhelms me and I can think of nothing else but succeeding where others have faltered only in the mind....not the body....

pride and ego........ thats what this game all boils down to.

i have to much pride, i sweat pride everyworkout. and when i fall down after a heavy set i lay there, dying, thinking that i cant belive that i acutally just did that, that was impossible. and get up and i turn around and there is that beautiful pride field sweat outline of where i fell, and when i stand there looking over myself i am VICTORIOUS!!!!!!!!......... there lays what is dead, what i was but only moments ago, but i rose, i am the victor, i am the conqueror of MYSELF!!!!...... i beat me, and i am the only one who can ever beat me, not you or anyone else, if i am ever defeated it is because i just let me get beat by myself,

but when i win, i am the hero of the day, and thats all that matters......... but the funny thing about it is, is that everyone in my rinky dink gym is oblivious to that fact, they have no clue of the war i wage within myself every workout, its not a matter of looking good or being strong, its being better than the me that is laying on the ground, the me i just obliterated, the one laying dead in humiliation on the floor, than he ever thought i could be.

now that......... is motivational.

....Lou ferrigno told his spotters to shout "Anold Arnold!" when he was near the sticking point. The desire to beat Arnold usually granted him another two - three reps....

yeah but it didn't work.
