Often times in Life so many of us get caught up on focusing on all of the things that we do NOT have, what OTHERS have, our WEAKNESSES, etc… Yet, by doing this it frequently leads us further away from what we really want in the end. We certainly must focus on Personal Growth, but it ultimately needs to be reasonable and constructive in order to influence Our Lives POSITIVELY. Dwelling and focusing on the Negative will only bring more Negative!

When we start to focus on our Strengths it really is amazing how much our entire outlook changes! One great example of this is within the realm of Competing! Everyone who has been involved in the Men’s Physique sport realizes at that there is a Subjective Nature to it and that will never change! Sure, you can read the rules and regulations all day, but when it comes down to it, the actual stage is a very dynamic place! What “wins” at one competition could be just the opposite at another! This not only hinges on the Judges, but also the Individuals on Stage! Attitudes, Comparisons, Etc… All play into it! Have you ever seen how Competitors that truly are having a GREAT time always seem to shine on stage? There is also a lot of debate about what the ideal look should be and honestly the ideal look is YOUR Ideal Look, YOUR Strengths! Sure, you need to make sure that you are within the framework of the rules and realm of what is being judged, but there is a lot more to it than simply that! Instead of worrying about other people and what they are doing or what look they have, worry about yourself and YOUR Strengths!
In the end we will NEVER look exactly like someone else anyway. How we really “win” in this sport is by DOING US and DOING OUR BEST! If I can pass on nothing else to others from Competing in the NPC for 13 Years and Coaching Hundreds of Competitors, it would be that at the end of the day it always comes down to our attitude as to what kind of experience we have. In the end it is about the Journey and what we accomplish and who we inspire along the way… A trophy will never determine our success and it will tarnish with time, but what we create to better ourselves and those around us will last on forever, much longer than we will ever know!

Remember that the Men’s Physique Division is still very new and taking shape, but one thing that will never change is that the Best Physique that you can ever bring is YOUR Best Physique! Best Wishes to EVERYONE stepping on stage and remember DO YOU!
Thank You to ALL who take the time to read My Words, if they are able to help just one person, then I am that much closer to My Goal!
