Belief is a powerful thing...
from Simple Training. Better Living Hosted by Chris Gordon
Henry Ford once said “whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” The other day I overheard one of our clients talking about the day’s workout.. The structure for each round was such that 2 movements were completed followed by a 60 second cardio element, all to be done in a 2 minute window. The design leant itself to a little higher intensity format, but not something that was impossible. However, what I was hearing from this conversation was nothing but self-doubt… an entire exchange that was based solely on limited self-belief… actually, not limited, NO self-belief. Essentially there was no way in this person’s mind that they could accomplish this as it was formatted. This fired me up, and has continued to keep me fired up for several days now. Why?... I’m glad you asked! Before we go any further let’s make this distinction… there is a difference between having realistic expectations and believing anything is possible. I do not believe there is anything wrong with being realistic… in understanding what is possible for you to accomplish… but, when your attitude towards most things is “I can’t” there is like a 99% chance you are right.
