Brick walls appear for us all, and there’s a very valid reason for them. They are there to test us so those who really want it bad enough CAN get through them if they are prepared to battle hard.
Many things I have tried haven’t come off, but when they don’t, I am able to see clues why they didn’t, then modify my approach.
Brick walls are there to stop people who don’t want it badly enough, and there’s plenty of them, so it’s down to you to be one of the minority in life that doesn’t accept no for an answer, and you’re flexible enough to keep changing and perfecting your approach.
Brick walls put people off chasing what they really want.
Most people quit after the first attempt on just about anything, they may to afraid to stick their hands up again and have another go, worrying about what “so and so” would think, when the reality is that you need to ignore those who are not really on your side, they are not encouraging you and they don’t really want the best for you.
It would be ideal to face a brick wall with loads of your friends, work colleagues and family, but that usually never happens.
Deep down, the only way you will smash down any wall is to keep showing up, keep being surrounded by like minded people in the gym, keep putting in good performances, choose good food to keep you going through the wall, and realise that if you keep knocking, keep trying, you will get there.
Remember brick walls are only temporary obstacles for us who really want great things, but they will remain permanent obstacles for those who never want to put the real work in necessary.
Your choice, and we all have the same opportunity so don’t kid yourself it’s any different for any of us.
