I think I have experienced a slingshot effect of some sort. I drifted away for a little while and now feel as if I have come back stronger and more motivated than ever. I feel the thrill of training again and taking on new challenges, I feel the exhilaration of pushing myself and achieving goals again. I’m back 110% in my training , my work and my life. After all these years of training it still amazes me the positive effect that torturing yourself physically can have on every aspect of your life. When you’re laying on the ground gasping for air and the sweat is pouring off of you it’s kind of hard to worry about anything else. You have to become something else, you have to enter a zone where weakness and fear cannot exist, where you are your only opponent and you must win. Whether it’s weight loss, competition, sport, or just fun you must give it your all. THere is no sense in doing something a little bit, either you are all in or your not even close. If you are half assing your training I will be willing to bet that you are half assing it in other places in your life. WE have all done it and been there, but the key is recognizing it, addressing it and changing it. Living a life of discipline and commitment is hard and most do not understand it, which should give us a sense of pride. Who the hell wants to be like "most"? Again thanks for the kind words and messages i have received through my little vacation from reality, it was appreciated. But I’m back now.
