Has anyone stopped to think that life is hard sometimes and that maybe your not sure you are heading down the right road. Do we wonder this because sometimes the Road to where we are going, or might be going, or maybe want to go is often at times a Hard Road to Travel. I'm sure at some point and time we all wonder these things.
See, I have made a commitment to becoming a bodybuilder. I will tell you this is one hell of a road to travel down, its a road that never stops from eating to lifting weights to doing cardio, time, money, supplements, mental focus, the want to's the have to's and on and on and on. It is something that consumes you day in and day out 24/7. There is no slowing up. Hell you already feel like you are so far behind that if you even stop to take a breath then you might as well just stop for good. Most people don't really know what its like to become a bodybuilder. They are not aware of all the hard work, the people in life that bring you down because they are only haters. The getting up early in the mornings to do cardio, to eat so you can eat more often through out the day and right up until bed time. Yeah sometimes I am just plain sick of eating and wonder is it all worth it. Other times I am starving and can't wait until the next meal. I get up every morning eat over a half dozen eggs, 1/2 cup of black beans, a big ass bowl of oatmeal some protein powder and a litter of water and that's just meal number 1 of 8 in a day. Its all hard work and for what you may ask? Guts and Glory? I do it for only one reason and one reason only. BECAUSE I CAN!
This whole bodybuilding thing I have come to realize is nothing more than a game you play and the object of this game is mind over matter. I believe that the biggest key to the whole game is your mind. If you can't control your mind to push out one more rep, to eat that last bite, to make yourself go on and do what you know you have to do and not what you want to do. The mind it is a powerful thing. I have my mind set and I will get to the end of the Hard Road Traveled. With a lot of patience, hard work and dedication and most importantly a Strong Mind.
Just a little taste of my life trying to become a bodybuilder. I for one am not a bodybuilder until I am standing on a stage under the bright lights, but I will continue to be on my way and only time is on my side.
So to my fellow bodybuilders or anyone attempting to tackle a goal in life. Keep on keeping on and don't stop no matter how hard a road is to travel. You will get there if you set your mind to it.
