How is it that some people seem to NEVER get down on themselves? How is it that they ALWAYS seem to be motivated and fired up?

For some reason they seem to be 100% driven, motivated and focused at any given time.

The reason it seems this way is NOT because they never get down or demotivated, it's because they know exactly how to deal with it.

Everyone - literally, EVERYONE gets down, or loses their focus and drive. Regarding fitness and nutrition, this means falling off of their diet or nutrition plan, and potentially missing gym sessions. Again, this happens to EVERYONE.

The reason that some people appear to never experience this from afar is because they've been able to experience this so many times over a long period of time that they understand how to deal with it. They understand the feeling when it is creeping up, and understand how to navigate through it.

Staying fit and keeping nutrition clean and healthy is not easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it. The reason there are so many obese and out of shape people isn't because they want to be in those positions, it's because they are too lazy to put in the work in those areas of their life.

Your job as the owner and maintenance crew of YOUR body is not to try and avoid this scenario altogether, because that is impossible. Instead, it's to remind yourself repeatedly that you will experience this at one point, but to also know that it is temporary.

If you go through your life, especially the health side of things, with the thought in the back of your mind that you could wake up tomorrow and not feel absolutely stoked to eat well and work out, it makes dealing with that so much easier. This is not easy to do, but it's THE way to deal with it and get back on track as fast as possible to continue dominating.

The reality is, it's your responsibility to do whatever you have to do to bring back that focus and drive. The people who can do that are the people who end up winning and dominating. The best part is, that can be you, or any of us.
