Tough Men Don't Whine. They Simply Say, "More!"

The Power of Determination

Our mind has infinite power to control what we need or want. Most of the times, what we want is what we do not really need. There is a huge difference between the two. (Aside from spelling, ;-D ) 'Need' is something that is realistic and 'Want' is superficial. 'Want' can wait while 'Need' is urgent.


If you need it, no matter how hard, you'll have to do it. That goes with how we take care of our health. I am always amazed with my boot campers and personal training clients who have had to drive 30-35 miles just to get to the camp or see me for private training. All of them say, "I do this because this is what I need". Isn't it amazing? I think that being able to identify what you need and being able to put it in praxis is incredible. 

We all need to exercise. By saying "I want to be fit"  won't make you fit. Just do it!

Thats well put.. I couldn\'t agree more... What\'s going on between the ears everyday is so crucial to success and reaching your goals! If you think you can get in shape and take it to the next level you deffinitely can and will. If you think you cant, you probably cant.

Absolutely....\"Mind over matter...\" by Anaxagoras, right Philip? our campers have different levels of fitness due to chronic injuries or \"incapacities\" (not in dictionary). But because they ned to do it, the mind tells the body, \"yes you can\" and the \"300\'s\" is like nothing!!!
