You know you’re on top of your game when things become easier, you start to crave the hard work in the gym, and the feeling you get afterwards is incredible. It’s about personal pride and you better be showing it when you pull on our red t-shirt.
You know you haven’t been training much when weights you did before no problem are suddenly a big struggle.
You get stiff from workouts you previously got through with ease.
If you are missing workouts, then you are never going to be on top of your training.
If 3 workouts aren’t going in every week, then your gym life will be one of struggle and one of constantly struggling to keep up.
When you miss workouts, when the settee becomes more of your friend than a workout, you’re on a slippery slope.
Talking yourself into missing workouts after work can become a bad habit. You know you SHOULD exercise, you feel better after it yet you let yourself be talked into saying “one more workout missed won’t mean anything”.
Your standards tell you everything about your progress.
You either keep your standards very high and show up, or you cheat yourself out of the high energy future you really should have.
When you put our red t-shirt on, we expect big things out of you in all ways. You need to be working hard, you need to show respect to everyone, you need to be reaching new heights regularly and most of all you should be showing a great deal of pride in all you do.
The rest of your week starts here, set the bar where your standards are and never drop under them. The rest will take of itself.

Everyone thinks they will live forever. We all think we have all the time in the world, until you get older and realise time may be shorter than we think.
We never realise we have a deadline until something happens to make us do things in double quick time. Urgency only often happens when trouble hits and we have to get ourselves out of a situation.
Being timid is a trait we all have. “Playing it safe”, “see what happens”, take our time” are phrases we all use, until we realise our opportunities have often come and gone, and we moan we should have done this, could have done that and we would have done it after all “if this had happened”.
Timidity is often a smokescreen for making excuses-time after time.
The realisation we haven’t got all the time in the world must come at you like a lightning bolt right now.
Think of the legacy you will leave.
Are you going to be the one who went for it every time? Or the one that is always “timid”, thinks they have all the time in the world and always puts off doing things you know that will change your life for the better?
Going for it, finding a way and taking action everyday is a valuable habit to develop, and a life-changer.
I urge you to be frustrated by your lack of action if that is the case. I urge you to be fed up with not achieving what you really know you can.
Get angry, channel that aggression into the weights, absorb the new found energy and drive that will give you back and be the person that never feels timid ever again.
Being timid is a waste of a life, we all have a certain amount of time left, once you realise that you will never waste another day.
Find the courage to show your true talents, and be ready to have a good go at everything everyday, you have NOTHING to lose, and EVERYTHING to gain.

One thing’s for sure, the higher you rise, the more different things you do, the better you do, the more aspirations you have, the more great things that come your way through your OWN hard work, the more people will try to chop you down.
That’s a price worth paying in my view and you need to get used to turning the noise off.
When you first start exercising, you will get people questioning why you do it, once you improve a lot, then the questions will get louder, the more you keep improving after that, you will seem some anger even from some so called friends, in fact EXPECT it.
Its that exact time you must lose those friends. Anyone who gives you a toxic conversation every time you see them is unhappy with their lives. They don’t have the same character as you have developed, they don’t know what it takes to achieve meaningful things.
Good things worth getting don’t fall into your lap. For example, NO amount of facebook ads will get you a decent business, you need to serve people well over many, many years before people trust you. Business may be born in 2 minutes, but to last you need grit, determination and to be on top of your game all of the time.
Any promotion in work you have had has usually come from your years of hard work and integrity, you know that a one off effort won’t get you anywhere, you need to be consistent over a LONG time.
So be protective of the efforts you give in everything in life. At the beginning you need some self-belief injected into you, and we try our best to do that. That confidence can be fragile if you have friends or work colleagues trying to tear you down the very next day.
Realise you are on a mission to have success with your body, your mind and turn your life into one of high quality, high energy, high enthusiasm for everything and choose your friends and those close to you wisely, to make sure you never get de-railed just as you are about to enjoy your greatest happiness, fulfilment and success.
Protect your time, your positive energy and channel it to those things that make you happy and highly productive in life. Anyone who wants to suck that life out of you you need to dump and get them out of your life full stop.
