Zig Ziglar, one of the top experts in the country on attitude and motivation said, "Your attitude determines your altitude." Your attitude will determine your level of success, not only in bodybuilding, but in every area of your life. The most important thing you need to do right now is believe that the training program you are following will bring the gains you desire, and committed to it for a minimum of eight weeks. Nowadays it seems to be necessary to explain the word "commitment". In the age of a 60% divorce rate, kids quitting school at a record rate, and a nation that says "when the going gets tough...quit", it becomes quite obvious that most Americans do not understand or practice commitment in any aspect of their lives. That is pathetic...and that attitude will destroy ANY possible chance of success in anything ever occurring in your life.
Commitment means that you don't quit because things start getting tough. You don't rack the weight half way through your set of squats because it hurts a little and it's hard. You don't blow off a workout because you want to watch T.V. You don't stop eating because you're tired of it or you don't want to carry your food to work or school. You don't change up your program after two weeks because you're not Mr. Universe yet. Stick with it for the whole eight weeks. What have you got to lose? Chances are you've been in a rut and not growing for years.
Don't quit something when it gets tough and painful. If you keep pushing and staying consistent, your successful break-through is usually just around the corner. If you quit too soon you will rob yourself of the success that is within inches of your grasp. Those who have the guts to keep going through the disappointments, trials, pain, and set backs always achieve the big successes in life. It is a guaranteed law of the universe.
Those who quit when the going gets tough never accomplish anything. If you are a quitter, then welcome to "Weenie Land". You'll have a lot of company there, and everybody will have plenty of excuses to justify their miserable lives. You can expect to wallow in mediocrity, at best, for the rest of your life.
If you have been a quitter in the past, choose to change that right now. You have the capacity to change. You were engineered for success, designed for accomplishment, and endowed with the seeds of greatness. Start to understand how your mind works and start putting in positive information every day to counteract all the negative seeds that have been planted in your mind over the years. You can really achieve any goal that you set your mind to.
Write your goals down with a date that you want to achieve them. A goal without a date attached is just a wish. Believe that you can accomplish whatever you commit to, every day begin to visualize the outcome you desire, and develop a day by day, or week by week plan to attain those goals.
Keep records of your training and eating. This will not only log your progress but will keep you from slacking off. If you look back over three weeks of training logs and find out that you have been doing the same weight and reps in your exercises, then you know it is time to start pushing yourself. I wish you all the best and all the muscle and success that you are willing to work for!
