Humility is a strong virtue. Not to brag when you are doing well and having success is something we all admire in people.
It’s difficult for many people to do but is a sign you get on with the hard work no matter what and you don’t want awards for it. The process and indeed the journey is your reward.
Another huge quality I admire in people is those who never complain when life hits them hard, they keep getting up when they are knocked down and somehow find the positive side of the cards they have been dealt.
Every person I believe has a huge talent but it’s only by doing consistent daily work that you get good at something.
It is said that you need around 10,000 hours to master something, but most people aren’t prepared to put that work in, or anywhere near that. There is no such thing as an overnight success.
Humility often comes when you exercise with someone who is fitter and stronger than you. You have to step up a level and realise perhaps you weren’t quite so good as you thought.
If you take it the right way though, spending time time with those who are currently better than you at something will automatically raise your standards to something better than you would have achieved on your own.
Our programmes humble you when you first do them, because you realise that certain movements can shock you, and put you into a situation where you’d better get up to speed quickly.
Constantly challenging yourself may be much harder than going through the motions, but will automatically make you a better athlete, a more humble athlete and by quietly going through all these tough workouts, make for one huge jump in progress that will stagger everyone who thought that success was somehow “Easy”.
