The brain is your most powerful organ.
For me it is the reason for my every success, my every achievement. So powerful it is the driving force behind my every motivation, my strength, my purpose to wake up and go each day. On the other hand it is also my biggest weakness, it can stop my burning desire to achieve greatness dead in it tracks, it can put my forward moving momentum to a grinding halt. For days at a time I can be stuck.
It is for this very reason that I weight train. It reminds me daily that the power of the mind is incredible. That after one awesome training session I can go from being completely stuck to being back into the swing of full forward momentum.
Despite what some may believe, it is not actually an aesthetic thing. From an outsiders perspective it is easy to take a narrow minded view, to believe that the only reason a person would train is to look good. I have heard before that “there’s more to life than being good looking and having a nice body.” If this is what you think then you have missed the point entirely. In my books it cannot actually be something to be proud of to be considered “attractive.” What is considered to me to be a pride is to be determined, to be mentally tough, to push forward in times of struggle, to try harder when it would be easier to give up.
I have said it in a post before, do not just train for the purpose of aesthetics. This is only one of its many benefits. Train because it teaches you mental focus and discipline, skills that you can go on and apply to all aspects of your life. Achieving success in the weight room will give you the confidence to go out and achieve your own personal success in the world.
The brain is your most powerful organ. It is more powerful and faster than any computer. It is thought that creates, and that thought precedes action. What we think about regularly, that reality is created for us. Change your thinking, and you have the ability to change your life.
