Ok Attitude, Ok Results, Great Attitude, Great Results
Most people don’t understand its losing the first 15 to 20 lbs that set the tone and build momentum. They don’t get what setting the tone means. When I played high school and college football coaches would always say set the tone. He meant to be excited and motivated to do the small things right and to carry that momentum into everything else you did on the field that day, in the classroom and inevitably in life.
For some, good is enough. In fact, for some, just getting by is so ingrained into their character they don’t even recognize it. They would rather not concern themselves with doing more because they already have enough to deal with.
Ok will always be ok, but great will always exceed expectations and your attitude dictates your success. Be great and you will lose weight, be great and you’ll surprise yourself and the others around you. You will motivate others to succeed.
If you attack working out with the mentality of just getting by you will always be just ok.
Attitude with one thing carries over to the other things in your life. You ever see a man or woman who looked down and out? You think that person motivates others on a daily basis? You think he or she is helping change the world and change other peoples lives for the better? More often than not that person who is down and out is making others around them feel the same way.
People feed off energy, peer pressure and work ethic – if you have a fired up manager you’re going to have a motivated team and motivated employees who want to challenge, compete and overcome the daily challenges they face. If you have a manager who is always complaining, skips out early and just manages enough not to get in trouble (and always puts the ball in your court rather than taking some level of responsibility) then more often than not you’re going to end up with an average team who answers more questions then they ask and gets challenged more than they challenge (never living up to expectations or doing anything remarkable). You may have a couple star employees who could thrive in any organization but they are the exception, not the rule.
YOUR ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING.
Get in the weight room and don’t think positive and you won’t get that weight. Try and diet and hate every moment of it and you’ll give up just before you reach your goal.
Think positive, think positive! Set the tone with your attitude before you even step foot in the gym. Set the tone with your attitude before you even step into work. Think positive during your warm-up and build momentum as you dominate one set after the next.
It’s not good enough to have an OK attitude. Successful people get where they get because of their positive attitude. Stay positive, change your attitude for the better. Set the tone by thinking positive, doing the small things right and building momentum. Motivate and uplift others and you will overcome even your biggest fears and dominate your greatest challenges.
God Bless.
