You got to accentuate the positive,
And eliminate the negative
Don’t you mess with mister in between!
Words as true today as they were way back then!
Fortunately I was a hard headed little shit.
I shut out the negative voices out of ignorance.
They may have meant well but I said screw it, it didn’t align
with my vision so there “good advice” fell upon deaf ears.
With that being said, I scraped up what few penny’s I had
and at the ripe old age of 18 went westward ho!
Or passionate? No, I’m pretty sure I was obsessed!
Once bitten, it was difficult to focus on anything other than training.
Mind you I was in my early teens! I still had to go about the normal shit kids my age had to do.
School, homework etc. I even played football, wrestled and ran some track.
But I found myself less, less interested in all those things the more I followed the bodybuilding lifestyle.
