Life, its alot like bodybuilding, wierd huh?
To those of us who take the time to educate ourselves on becoming a competitive bodybuilder, powerlifter, or just wanna attain a lean strong physique, we understand that its a process and there is no magic pill or easy way to achieve this overnight. It takes countless hours of hard work and dedication. In my personal life I have been going thru a complete downfall, that just really hit rock bottom yesterday. Throughout this process leading to the bottom of the pit I have always thought, "im a good person, I work hard, things will work there way out" Well they didn’t and still haven’t. Then it all kinda made sense to me this morning. I have questioned why all this bad stuff keeps happening to me, often wondering what god was trying to tell me or why he was choosing to test me like this. BOOM I figured it out, and it was plain as day. I pour every ounce that I can into my training, im intense, im deligent and I know there is not immediate gratification in the gym, you have to do your time. In life I’ve had too much instant gratification and haven’t ever had to step my game up a few notches. Ive been sitting at idle for over a year and its time to accelerate a little. I relize there are many sacrafices I will have to make to overcome, but these sacrafices will be worth it in the end when I get these things back. Im not one who rolls over and plays dead, so know I prepare for an even greater battle than I’ve ever had before, while continuing my training, bc I’ve worked to damm hard to stop this mission. The point of the matter is never allow yourself to go into "idle" in any aspect of your life, treat life like your training work hard, then work harder, and when you think your there, your not and you gotta bump it up another notch. STRENGTH & HONOR

Mike I love what you wrote.
Here’s a quote that fits perfectly with what you’ve just done here.
"Whatever good or bad fortune may come our way, we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.
.Hermann Hesse
You have found something of value in your time of trial .You have given us a life lesson. I agree 100% with everything you said. I can sense a more positive demeanor in your attitude. That’s very healthy.
The mission must go on.
FAILURE CANNOT ENDURE PERSISTENCE !!!!!!!
