Staying Focused on Building Muscle

Staying focused on building muscle, is easier said than done. I'm using this blog as a type of journal, that will hopefully keep me on track towards my goal of becoming the biggest natural bodybuilder of all time. Whenever I do something that I believe could hinder my physical progression, I'll make a post out of it. For example, I've been going to bed quite late ever since I began my journey only a few days ago. But if I don't get enough rest each day, then how are my muscles supposed to grow. I become more consciously aware about what I'm messing up on when writing it down (or in this case, typing it on my keyboard). And once I'm aware of whatever is slowing down my progress... I can shift my focus to what I should be doing. I often take things a step further like, for example, posting my ultimate goal on the wall... so that whenever I walk into that particular room, I'm reminded of it.

When I don't get results, the reason is not so much that I'm NOT focused on my goal, as something is holding me back. What was holding me back in the past? Why have I never attempted to reach my goal? I've already mentioned that in the past I didn't believe in myself enough to pursue my goal with confidence. And I've actually already stated previously that I would become the biggest natural bodybuilder of all time. I was on an internet tv show when I introduced myself as well as what I was attempting to accomplish. I was supposed to have my entire journey documented but, unfortunately, the film production company didn't pursue the project. I'm in Episode 2 (AT OPUS HOTEL) about two thirds of the way through. I didn't look very good, because I had been keeping that fire (my dream) inside me for years, until I finally let it out on the show. As much as I didn't show my body in that episode, I felt it was a good enough 'Before' shot to begin training full force towards my goal. After only two weeks, I had bulked up and leaned down drastically. People in the gym were really starting to notice the change, and I was as well. Back then, I thought that the reason why I just stopped cold turkey after only two weeks, was because the production company was no longer contacting me. Today, I understand that I just wasn't ready for my goal. Physically, I was ready. Mentally and spiritually... Nope.

An important message that I'd like to pass on to you is that your goal will arrive when your ready. You have to go after your goal and do certain things to achieve it, but you also have to let it come to you. There's a time and place for everything. That place and time becomes HERE AND NOW when you are prepared... physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I'd like to end this blog post with a simple statement. If you fall, you have two options; (1) Get up, (2)Stay down. You don't have to be perfect in your pursuit of physical perfection. You don't have to achieve your goal in the time-frame you've given yourself. Just stay focused, and the moment will eventually come.
