In order to be successful, you must visualize success.

In visualizing your success, you have to ask yourself why you aren't doing that right now.

If you can't do it right now, you have to plan how to get there.

And if you have a plan in hand, you better follow it with all your heart.

This is why I lift. It's a reminder of what is possible when I put my mind to something. Sometimes it gets easier. But even the "easy" requires work. There will be missed lifts, and sometimes we don't achieve what we thought we could as quickly. But it doesn't matter how long it takes or whether we need to put in more work than others. What matter is that we're doing what we want.
