"If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don't
If you like to win, but you think you can't,
It is almost certain you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow's will
It's all in the state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!!!"
Your reality is what you make it. This starts with the thoughts you think, the words you say, and most importantly, the actions you do! I'm not preaching here, just sharing some thoughts on what I have noticed from those who win and those who don't. Accomplishing your goals in the gym, and in your life begins with what you believe to be true. So I ask you what do you believe? This is what I ask every athlete who walks in to train with me. Do you really believe that you will one day be great in your respective sport? Yes? Great, keep believing in that and you will. No? Here is a trick that has worked with many: Tell yourself a lie enough times and it becomes a reality. Why is it a lie? Well, at first you don't believe in what you are telling yourself to be true. In the beginning it's all bullshit to you. As you keep telling yourself what you want to be, even though you do not believe it to be true, eventually it becomes a reality. It has to. If not, well then you did not want it bad enough. It's all about what you make your reality to be, it's all about the state of your mind! Winning and losing in sport has more to do with what you believe to be true than how strong and fast you are. If you want it bad enough, you will make it a reality. Now That's No Lie!!!
Happy New Year Everyone,
Joe Rossi
