It’s all about me!
This week I have taken a week of work for absolutely no reason at all except to take a week where I don’t have to worry about much else except eating, sleeping and training 
As the title of this blog suggests this week it is all about me.
You see I firmly believe that to have longterm success at your fitness goals, they need to be selfish goals. You need to do this for yourself.
It’s great to have support, in fact we couldn’t get by all by ourselves but we all know that even the most supportive well intentioned friend or family member will become a crap pusher right when you need them to not bring any cheat foods anywhere near you. "just have one, it won’t hurt you"!
Your willpower needs to come from your own motivation because you want it, not because someone else wants you to. Because when it gets hard, a champions mind is focussed on victory not on what someone else thinks.
If you don’t wan’t it for yourself then you can’t take ownership of it.
If you don’t take ownership of it who will drive you to your goals? If you aren’t driving towards clear goals then you float around aimlessly. In 10 years time you will still be where you are today (if not worse).
Like I said over the weekend, take some personal responsibility, take control and own your world.
Be selfish, your life is all about you

Thanks Ryan for your comment on my blog btw. You have a really good point here. For example - when you are on an aircraft, why do safety instructions say that you need to fit your own oxygen mask before assisting others? Because if you aren’t ok yourself, how do you expect to be able to help someone else? Do what you need to do for yourself and others will benefit too. If you can’t and don’t look after yourself, you will never be able to look after anyone else as well as you could do, IMHO.

Excellent blog, Ryan… The only person who you are truly ever competing against is yourself… Can your will-power and determination overcome the mental and physical challenges of pushing yourself as hard as you can…
