The exceptional individual is the one who walks into the gym and has already got over their first hurdle.
Then they build confidence simply by getting through their sessions.
The cumulative effect of these sessions becomes ultra-important.
From right now, until March, lots of people struggle with the dark, the wet and the cold. They struggle without human interaction and social media becomes “real life” somehow.
The gym from now takes on another life of it’s own. For that exceptional person who was too afraid often to walk through the front door of the gym, our gym is like a safety net to get through the tough winter months, not only physically but mentally and emotionally too.
Life is often tough, and this means we got to toughen up too, we have to build our immune system up, we have to rise to the challenge and once we don’t hide away from anything, then our life gets EASIER because we get set up for tough challenges every day and we expect it.
Keep being exceptional, keep showing bravery and keep seeking out tough things daily, training hard regularly makes life a lot easier and much more enjoyable.

The question is “shall I still try my best anymore, what is the point”?
The answer should always be your exercising is something you GET to do, exercising every day is something that keeps you away who you may portray as being “worse off’ than you.
I have always said that people get hooked on TV soap opera’s because it shows a life where many people have worse lives than us, and in turn the human reaction is to feel good about that.
If so and so is worse off than us, we can do the bare minimum and still be better than they are, when the trouble is if we set a bar so low w can just step over it, we create very low standards in our lives.
When we get to the gym, we see many people with higher standards and expectations, and greater recovery stories too we may have thought impossible.
Being exposed to these people make us RAISE OUR OWN expectations greatly, makes us dream bigger and we instantly raise our dqily habits to a whole new level, because we live to a much higher standard.TV and social media often gives us a false and fake view on how life really is, people often portray themselves and their lives as incredible versions of themselves,
In real life though we know there’s going to be many highs and lows, but if we mix with people daily who tend to lift us up by their efforts, instead of hanging out with those who feel sorry for themselves all the time and try to convince us our best days are behind us, we can live a much better, fulfilled life and we soon realise that daily action in real life is the way to go, all we have to do is to continuously turn up and allow ourselves the opportunity to do great things again..
