Quit Dooming Yourself to Failure

Quit dooming yourself to failure.

​

It does not and will not ever matter what anyone else says. Ever.

​

It only matters what you say to yourself.

​

What you believe about yourself.

​

And honestly, there are actually more people out here who'd love to see you succeed vs fail.

​

While you need to put blinders on to obtain your goals at times, you definitely should take off any tunnel vision when it comes to your crappy environment around a failing environment.

​

But the key is, YOU have to want to succeed.

​

YOU have to believe that you can.

​

And then, go find those people who love to be in your corner.

​

Who loves to show you the highest potential you can be.

​

And then help you get there.

​

You know, I almost died a few times as a baby.

​

And then a couple more times within my childhood.

​

That didn't stop me from giving up anything.

​

No, I didn't have any sort of "newfound appreciation for life" every time either.

​

In fact, I had a lot of depression and doubts.

​

But I kept going.

​

And even now, as I work on becoming as strong as I have inside, outside, I procrastinate as I stand over the bar.

​

I think, "This is going to be heavy. I will probably drop it, if not even get it off the ground."

​

But why?

​

Why would I doom myself to failure before I even try?

​

I've been putting in all of this hard work for so long and I tell myself I won't do it.

​

Nobody else is chirping in my ear or my brain.

​

It's crazy.

​

There's absolutely no reason for it.

​

Nobody will be mad if I pull 250# deadlifts this year. I absolutely know this.

​

So today, I stopped it.

​

While I had to tell myself to slow the pull down, a quick little voice started to tell me I wasn't going to make it, but I stopped them and told myself instead "UP, UP, UP!"

​

and I went up.

​

And then I did it again.

​

Because what I needed then was reinforcement of evidence.

​

And I got it.

​

I ain't no failure.

​

And neither are you.

​

Stop holding yourself back.

​

If you still need help with this, message me.

​

I got you 🫶🏻
