IT’S WHAT YOU SEE

“I can’t possibly do that!”

My client turned around and looked at me.

“I’ve never squatted in my life. I can’t!”

“Why?”

“Because I will fall over!”

“No you won’t.”

“I WILL!”

Uncertainty, verging on fear, and embarrassment were all over her face.

“How do you know you will fall over?”

“Because I will!”

“No you won’t! I’ll be right behind you! There is NO WAY you are going to fall over. You couldn’t fall over if you TRIED to. Not with me right here, you’re not!”

I push her firmly under the bar. I was not taking shit for answers.

“Try it. I am going to be right here. We will do it together. Any problems, I will help you.”

She looked at me, hesitating.

“Do it. Trust me. It’s going to be awesome!”

She gets under the bar.

I position her and show her how to put the bar over her back and how to position her hips under it for a good solid, upward thrust.

Ready?”

I think so!”

“Yes you are. Yes you ARE ready. It’s going to be EASY. Breathe. In. Out. Deep. You are better than you can possibly imagine. Now…UP!

She straightens her legs. The bar floats up effortlessly.

“Step back. Position feet like I showed you. Perfect. Now half way down. GO!”

Ass back. Knees in. Half down. Then back up.

“Perfect. I am right here. Down. Deeper!”

The bar goes down. Lower than before.

And up again. And down again.

Ten times.

She racks the bar. Turns around and looks at me with a wonder on her face that is magic to me.

“Oh my God!! I did it. I can’t believe it!!”

Hell YEAH!

 

SO…BACK TO WHERE WE STARTED

I can’t possibly do that!

Sounds familiar?

How many times have you said this to yourself?

And, by doing this, screwed any chances of accomplishing anything?

Seriously, how do you KNOW you can’t?

Have you tried??

Have you given it one serious, no holds barred, balls to the wall shot?

If you haven’t – and you know you haven’t – then you are selling yourself pretty short.

Because there are so many things you can accomplish – but you are not even allowing yourself to get in through the door.

Call that a fighting chance?

What’s your point?

Giving up is EASY! Everyone does it.

Fuck that.

Crabshit day was yesterday.

Try something different today, would you?

Today, you WILL NOT give up before you actually GET SOMETHING DONE.

That’s today’s challenge for you.

Try it.

Don’t think about it.

Over-analysing anything is a killer.

Just do something you thought you were not good enough to do.

TODAY!

Remember it’s now how you look at the world that matters.

It’s how you decide to see it.

Things are only as difficult as we decide to make them.

Ultimately, we are in charge – despite anything you have been told to the contrary.

So power your rock on and shred it to hell!!
