I learnt a long time ago that having these five elements in my life would ultimately bring me success, I take pride in knowing that I choose great health over being a couch patatoe, I take pride in knowing that at the end of the day I determine my own income by deciding to have taken the risk of having my own companies. I enjoy having the responsibilty of determining ’my life story’- nobody else can write this book - I wont allow it. I choose to live this life getting every possible bit of satisfaction I can from achieving my standards of success, by perservering where others are too lazy to go, to live with my definition of integrity and I am determined to have a great amount of fun whilst doing it. I dont complain - I take action, I make things happen, I listen to nothing negative, I convince myself that I can conquer anything and I go for it. Dont spend your life as if you’re guaranteed a 100 tomorrows - there are no guarantees in this life - live with pride, honour your body and your mind and stay accountable to yourself. People who live within their means:- physical,financial or mental just lack imagination.Yeah its a hard statement but swallow it and get out your comfort zone and live the brilliant life you were meant to, accept nothing else because ‘average and ordinary’achieve nothing.  

So I had a mouth watering bicep and tricep workout today:-

started with 3 sets of 5 pull ups wide grip.

dips (man these are hard for me but I grit and pull thro) ………….3 sets of 10 sweetheart.

barbell curls…………….23kgs x 8 reps x 5 sets(wanted to do 5×5 but had more testoserone here….ah ah wish, just happened like this)

seated incline dumbell curls…………………..11kgs each x 7 sets x 5 reps

seated incline hammers…………………..10kgs each x 6 sets x 5 reps

preacher curls…………………..2o kgs x 2 sets x 10 reps, 23 kgs x 2 sets x 5 reps, 23kgs x 1 rep - just couldnt pick up another thing here, arms were in extreme agony - yeah yeah I love it.

tricep pull downs………………….40kgs x 7 sets x 5 reps

tricep dips with 15kg plate feet up on bench…………………..3 sets x 20.

behind the head rope……………35kgs x 5 sets x 12 reps.

calves………………….3 sets x 20 reps

I’ve had a truly fullfilling day, I closed some brilliant deals, my staff are happy, I had a fabulous workout, I played soccer with my son and his friends for 45 minutes (yes I’m his superhero now!) and I watched my daughter play a brilliant game of hockey. Spirit of determination is what she has - real force to be reckoned with. Losing is just not in her vocab - its not in mine either and I suggest you remove it from yours(if its there at all)! Have a stunning day!
