If you are serious about what you do than you need to be serious about who you trust.
Who do you trust around you on a daily basis?
Who are you hanging out with? Are they making you better?
Bad company corrupts good morals!
Spend the quality of your time with people that are focused on the task at hand.
People that are positive about you getting to the next level!
People that believe in you!
And people that are going to hold you accountable to your ultimate goals!
I once trained an athlete that had all the potential in the world and is now doing nothing with his life.
Why?
Because he chose to allow the people around him to determine his future. He chose to be distracted by what everyone else was doing.
Eventually that company pulled him away and he no longer has ambitions and goals to be great.
It is a choice and it is your choice.
What are you going to choose?

Are You Complacent?
Are you content with who you are?
Complacency - self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies.
That is the definition of complacency according to Webster Dictionary.
My definition: Being too comfortable where you are at.
Are you content with how things are going?
Are you content with where you are at
-Physically, Mentally, Spiritually, Athletically,etc...
I want to challenge you today to get a little uncomfortable with your current situation.
I want to challenge you today to not get complacent!
I want to challenge you today to get out of your comfort zone!
Never be satisfied until you have reached your ultimate goal, until you have seen your vision come to past.
Try something new today to get you out of your comfort zone to take your health and your life to the next level!
Now Go Get It!

9.69...EASY!
9.69 seconds!
That was the new world-record time set by Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash this weekend at the Olympics.
If you did not see this race you should go and watch it.
This guy made it look easy!
My point is when you prepare and put the time in to accomplish something you should expect it to work out.... and you should expect it to be easy.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying the road to get there was easy.
The preperation time is never easy and never obstacle free.
This 100m was not even this guys specialty, the 200m was.
But he was determined!
The average sprinter is 5'10, he towers them at 6'5 which some thought would be a dis-advantage.
But he was determined!
And he went and absolutely shattered the world record!
What are you determined to accomplish?
Prepare now and once you get there make it look easy!

Are You a Competitor!
Swedish wrestler stripped of bronze medal!
That is the headline on yahoo and you can view it here:
http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/wrestling/news?slug=ap-wre-medalstripped&prov=ap&type=lgnsT
This wrestler was stripped of his bronze medal for unsportsman like conduct during the medal ceremony.
Was he robbed? Maybe.
Did he lose? Yes.
I am not condoning his actions, but after reading the article it gave me an appreciation for what a competitor this athlete is.
Yes, sore losing...
Yes, maybe a grown man should not be acting like that...
And yes, that was probably not a good representation for his country.
I understand that.
But hear me out....
This guy came into the Olympics with one goal in mind and that was to win the gold medal.
Anything less than that was a failure in his eyes.
After losing in the 2004 world games, he was out to get revenge.
He has trained 4 years with one goal in mind...to get a gold medal.
And when this dream and goal did not become a reality he was outraged, he was dissapointed, he was upset....
THIS GUY HAS A PASSION.... a passion for what he does.
THIS GUY IS A COMPETITOR....and he hates to lose.
He was not willing to face the fact that his dream and goal did not become a reality.
Imagine if you approached everyday like this guy.
Imagine what you could accomplish with this kind of passion.
Imagine the BODY you would have....
Imagine the kind of Marriage you would have...
Imagine the Success Your Business would have.
Just imagine what your life would be like if you did not except anything less than greatness.
-Anything less than the best.
-Anything less than a Gold in all that you did.
Compete for what you want! THIS IS YOUR LIFE!
Never settle for less and never give up!
Chase your dreams and don't look back until they become a reality!
Go get it!
