"It is, really.
What other species even questions what to eat or how much?
Where are our instincts? Killed by civilization, or just "in a coma"?"

New Challenges ~ New Growth !!
Don’t let a setback stop you from your dreams. Hope this helps, shared with some of my friends over the weekend and will post here.
Yeah, each time before doing workouts I knew my a** was going to get kicked big time. But also reminded me of saying read from Navy SEAL Richard Machowicz,
“We all have conversations with ourselves all the time and they play a
tremendous role in what we do. The conversation that one has with him or herself is what kills you. Especially under extremely stressful situations like “hell week” where you are almost up for 110 hours a week!
I had to get myself in the mindset of never giving up no matter what.
A buddy of mine gave me a quote which stated, “A man can only be beaten in two ways: if he gives up or he dies.” I had that quote in my wallet until the pencil marks rubbed off. I really lived that motto. I decided that if I am *not dead*, then I *cannot quit.*”
Have read where intense training is as much mental as physical. That it
builds a person that will not quit; developing their heart. If you do not have heart, you could be the greatest athlete in the world. However you are going to cave when the pressure comes. You have to have the guts to finish what you start.
Also Mr. Richard Machowicz stated, “if people can say yes to the following three questions, they have the guts to finish anything:
* **1. Are you willing to make a choice? *Very rarely do people make
choices that fundamentally effect their lives. For example, changing
channels on the TV is not something that fundamentally effects your life. You have to step up to the plate and make a fundamental life changing choice.
*2. Do you have the courage to start now?* We get people that make
choices but do not do anything to get started. Half the people that made a choice drop out at this stage. They do not take the first step to move in the direction that they want.
* **3. Do you have the commitment to finish?* You can start, but can you finish? This is where most people disappear. Very few people finish. People can start things, but can they see it through the end? Can they be there when it matters?
Would further like to share a video that has really been inspiring.
It’s on YouTube and here’s the link…..

Wow! I hadn't watched the video before, but ... wow! Pity the music is to loud at the end, can't make out what Jeremy says, but ...
I did figure he'd go a little further than the coach wanted, but not that much further. Shows you the power of a blindfold :)
Of course, we can't go through life blindfolded, but we can ignore distractions which others put in our way to try to get us to doubt and stray.
A listing of all Jon Benson products coming soon!

"Yes, that's nice. You can do your workout whenever and however you like. Just be careful if you workout alone, with no-one to assist you if things get too heavy, you could get hurt. But I guess you know yourself and you limits well by now.…"
