Why are you reading this right now? If you're reading this, it's because you want more out of life. You wanna become more. You wanna become better. You wanna be more than you are. That's why you're here.
If you want to reach your potential, you have to do one very simple thing.
It is imperative that you take control of your mind.
We all get stressed out. You can’t avoid it. But you can shape how you think about it. When you know how to condition your mind, you can learn to distinguish between desire and doubt. Then you can begin to focus on the ability to do anything you set your mind to.
In 2012 I was laid off from my "just above broke" minimum wage job. I could have been upset and let my life go off the rails. Instead, I had a vision for my life that was greater than my present circumstances. I knew that in a matter of time, I would be living the life that I desired. Today I look back and laugh that those circumstances thought they could ever hold me down.
Make sure your vision is greater than where you are currently.
The most challenging thing for a person to do is to take the first step in their own personal journey. That journey can be a path to enlightenment, self-improvement, the pursuit of happiness, success, personal glory, the list goes on and on. Like the cliche saying goes, the first step is always the hardest.
While filming in LA, you know I had to swing by Big Sims' home gym! We finally caught up with each other after three years and had a solid chest session in the Cali heat!
The Bible says, "Judge not.”
That commandment also applies to yourself. People are in the world against you. Circumstances are against you. But the truth is you're your own worst critic.
A few years ago you might have looked at me and assumed I had it all. I played elite college football, competed in bodybuilding, and drove expensive cars. On the outside, I was living the life.
