Training Motivation For Glade
Or anyone else thats why I didnt post in the "other section"
I read this everymorning:
.. BY MARK TWIGHT The training we do is the consequence of an attitude. The attitude is the meaningful fundamental; without it no benefits may be realized. You must want (or need) to be where you are, doing what you are doing. If you can't pay attention or if you don't want to work hard, don't bother showing up to go through the motions.
Nothing is gained by doing one thing with your body and another with your mind. A bad attitude or unsettled mind destroys focus but our definition of a bad attitude doesn't necessarily bear semblance to general usage of the term. Rage, despair, insecurity and a host of other psychological issues can drive an athlete to work harder.
The bad attitude is the one that prevents the athlete from realizing his or her desires, or the state of mind that an individual refuses to accept. A “good” attitude allows and spurs the athlete to conceive and achieve a goal. Such a psychological state does not have to be positive or balanced; personal torment has inspired great efforts.
Confusion and questioning, anger and doubt may be fountains of creativity and initiative. What an individual finds dissatisfactory about him or herself is often the bridge to something greater. When combined with the self-discipline required to maintain momentum any motivating state of mind can produce an astounding work of art and action.
The mind – no matter how troubled – must be open because conviction about the inevitability of a particular outcome affects the outcome. Certainty regarding the righteousness of the current path can blind one to other paths.
It may also foster confidence in validity of one's actions; the consequence of conviction depends on the attitude with which it is held. Plenty of folks surf the site and conclude that they know and understand what they are seeing, that there is nothing here but a shtick, a “slash and burn” posture, without meat, or bones or results.
These passersby are balanced by those who look through that same window and recognize what the individuals here have accomplished through attitude and hard effort, and determine that the bones at Gym Jones hang heavy with meat. Some viewers are able to imagine what they might achieve by adopting – at minimum – the attitude and commitment expressed here.
Commitment, you either have it or you don't. Saying you have it means nothing. Talk – Action = Zero. The uncommitted rarely make it through the door. Those who lose their commitment are asked to leave until they recover. Stress and hardship clarify commitment: those who have it relish difficulty and intensity. The committed are aware and mindful every minute of every day so they enjoy the results that such rare dedication and effort deliver.
