Stop Sucking on Your Thumb and Get to Work

Look at yourself face-to-face in the mirror. Look closely, very closely.

Are you humble enough to admit that you do not work hard enough to reach your goals? Are you brave enough to confess that you are not adequately focused on those very goals? It's time to stop sucking on your thumb and crying about the goals you are failing to meet and finally do something:

FOCUS & WORK HARD
 

Nobody (myself included) works as hard as they think they do. Even those who actually work hard can improve both effort and focus. Working hard isn't about grunting and groaning, nor is it about dropping dumbbells on the floor after exercise sets so you can appear hardcore. That sort of display is for a baby throwing a tantrum.

Working hard, with maximal effort, is about one thing and one thing only: FOCUS. The lifter who is focused has no need for such drama. This individual has the path to his/her goals well thought out and is completely focus on this path AND stays focused during each and every training session.

It's time to stop sucking your thumb and stop training like a baby.

Get HUMBLE and FOCUSED and WORK HARD!
