🤔 THOUGHT
My best naysayer years ago were exactly what I needed.
I told him he didn’t know how hard I was willing to work to have my own gym.
He wasn’t with me underground shoveling that coal dreaming of that situation.
He thought he knew so he told me I couldn’t do it at 20 years old.
He obviously didn’t understand my purpose.
He obviously didn’t understand my passion.
He obviously didn’t understand my need for change.
He obviously didn’t understand I made my mind up to change generations.
He obviously didn’t understand I had nothing to lose.
📋 QUOTE
“A long while ago, a great warrior had to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, ‘You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice - we win or we perish!’ They won. Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success.”
