My best motivation!
Y’know, whenever I hit the gym, I don’t roll in as the most noticeable guy. I’m not very loud or vocal, I don’t throw my weights around, I stay out of the way of everyone else, and generally keep to myself or my partner. But it’s always such a good feeling when I look up and realize that, though I’m not the biggest or strongest guy in the gym, all eyes are on me at the end of my set. I love it when people come up to me and compliment me on how my focus and intensity inspire them to try even harder. I love it even more when those same people ask if they can work in with me.
The other day at my gym, somebody I hadn’t recognized walked up to me and mentioned how it was good to see one of the "few superstars of the place" back at it and working so hard again. He mentioned how he loved the attitude I came with and called me one the, "definite champs." Haha you can imagine the smile THAT ego boost put on my face! But my point is that even though I’m not THE best, I like knowing that in someone else’s eyes, I am and that my dedication and attitude can do so much to help someone else reach their fullest potential. The even cooler part is seeing them work just that little much harder always inspires me to do better myself. Thanks for all the great compliments, everyone! Lol, if only I could blush…
