Let the World Know

Starting today, I'm letting the world know about my journey. Some of you may be confused by this post, as I've already begun my blog over two weeks ago. And before that I posted the promo video on my YouTube channel. Well, what I mean is that I'm going to be letting my close friends and family know about my journey. A good friend of mine once said that I should keep the fire burning inside otherwise it will extinguish. I do agree with him to a certain extent... but once you've gathered enough confidence and believe that you're truly ready to 'receive' your goal, you'll have developed a strong resistance to any kind of negative criticism. So, why not? Nothing could hurt me know. I've learnt too much about myself to be afraid of any obstacles along the path. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel, and that's what my journey of becoming the biggest natural bodybuilder of all-time is all about. Nothing is easy, but it does get easier along the way.

My friends always seemed supportive about what I wanted to do. Family, on the other hand, often worry about me not making it in this world. They have some objections about what I'm doing because they feel it's a potential risk. The risk is that it might be a waste of time. Nothing good can come out of it. First of all, only good things can come out of my achieving my goal. My only concern is to accomplish it (and document it on film), once and for all. This is going to be my stepping stone, and I know it. Every book I've ever read on achieving success or prosperity points to the fact that these things only come when you take full responsibility for yourself, and just go for it. The hard part, which I've explained in a past blog post, is confronting your fears. It's time to start letting go. It's time to start understanding that the human mind and the human heart are more powerful than reason could ever make us understand. Most people are practical. Every decision is based on evidence that they see in front of them. Well, what if the evidence isn't there? I, for example, have no real way of knowing that I'll be offered some kind of endorsement contract after I reach my goal... In fact, there is not evidence that I will even achieve my goal (or that it's possible for anyone to achieve it). This is where faith comes in. Man runs on two things, and faith is one of them. Unfortunately, it's what most people lack. They think that new technologies enabling ways of multi-tasking will help them save time in order to reach financial independence, or that it will help them sleep better at night. If you want to invent something, in other words if you want to create something new, then I want you to know that faith is essential. The inventor of the radio (before he invented it) was forced into a mental institution BY HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS when he spoke about having an idea to transmit frequencies through the air that could travel to a sound device hundreds of kilometers away from the source.

I don't feel like I absolutely need extra support, but it would help. Also, I don't like lying to people. For example, I don't want to be asked every time I'm eating over at a relative's house why I'm not eating certain foods. At least if they know that I'm attempting something that takes discipline, then I won't get lectured as often. Sometimes I overlook the fact that my family cares about me, and this is why they don't necessarily encourage me towards my goal. They've never laughed at what I wanted to do (which in the past was just to be able to compete in a bodybuilding contest). And they have supported me in other ways. I owe a lot to many friends and family whom have been very patient with me over the years (as it took me a long time to prepare for this moment), but now it's time to show them that my struggles have not been for nothing.
