"EXCUSES"
I'll start tomorrow...
The job is killing me..
The wife or husband smothers my will..
my kids.take all my time...
I am on the road how can I do what I know I should ?
Sound familiar...and you know there are so many more excuses..
at 64... I've used them all... but they are what they are...
a weakness in your resolve...
Fail to plan...plan to fail
Not that hard to understand...
So, a little knowledge from an old man...
I plan... for each day at home...
when I travel... I plan...
YEs, there is the vacation.. but not a vacation from a goal..
If you ditched your goal for anything...., you have no goal...
just a dream...
Like I said, I'm 64... you young bloods can bring it...
and I say this to motivate you..not to disparage you...
I am not unique... I am the norm that most can no longer see...at my age...
OK, I stated you must plan... so, a few examples...
The first picture is me in 2015... in Hanoi, Vietnam..
Yea was a vacation and a trip..
but what am I doing ? I arranged a visitor membership at a ym..in Hanoi.. and I don't speak Vietnamese... In the pic I am benching a warm up set of 245 pounds..
a warm up set..and I'm 64... Give me an excuse??? and I was bad out of shape then.. I hope to reach my former high of 525... and that was when I was 35..
and it was 15 reps...
am I so different than you... not at all... I just understand something you might not... your limits are determined by mind, body and spirit... Most have one, maybe two.. but it takes all 3... That is all...
Ya know, I came back from Vietnam..and was invited to a martial arts school to demonstrate and spar with higher level students... most 40 years my junior... knowledge is power... but daily training in any application is true power..
Humility is true mastery... I am not special... I have had some very, very remarkable teachers...3rd pic is only a few... wonder who can identify them...
as my primary teacher use to tell me... NO excuses.. o back and practice it 1000 times.. then come see me again...
