More On The Fountain of Youth

Hope this finds you all blessed and counting your blessings. Here’s a reply we received to yesterday’s newsletter. It helps illustrate an important point for going to the next level in training and in life.

Here it is:

Bud,

This is one of the best newsletters you've ever sent.
Thank you for writing it.

Another thing to remember is that it is a blessing to be
able to squat; people should relish it and their ability to
perform it.

I'm currently not able to, due to a hip that is higher on
one side than the other. When I squat I have a strong
irritation in my right hip/ pelvic area.

If you have the chance to read this, and have any
suggestions, they are welcome.

Best wishes and stay on the sunny side!

Matt Wilson

Thanks Matt. It’s always a blessing to hear that you’re encouraging people. I will have some suggestions for your hip problem, but I’d like you to email me with some more specifics about it and we’ll answer them in another newsletter. Now everybody pay attention. Say it with me…. “This is the important part…”

The important thing expressed in the letter that Matt sent in reply to us is gratitude. Being thankful for your ability to do any physical task. Developing an attitude of thankfulness will take you further on your goals. Forget the fact that it is a key for developing a happy, successful life. When you create an environment of gratitude in your life you open the door for more blessings, more success, more achievement of your goals. It is a way to put your mind in the place to receive the real benefits from your training and your connection to other people and to God.

Realizing the little things we take for granted are really deep blessings will go a long way toward developing a deep sense of gratefulness in your life. Sometimes when you try really hard for a long time to achieve a goal be it making a certain amount of money, a certain personal or business goal or a training goal, it’s easy to get wrapped up in either the immediate struggle or frustrated because it’s taking longer than you think it should. It’s easy to lose sight of all the basic blessings and abilities that brought you to the higher achievement of the goal. Be thankful for them. When you are, that changes your perspective and with new perspective comes new success.

Have you ever been in a place where you thought you were doing everything right and you still weren’t getting the success you thought you should? You’re training hard, you’ve got a brilliant workout, or brilliant business plan and you think you’ve got all the little details dialed in so that things should work flawlessly, but for some reason it still just doesn’t work. Attitude is often the difference. It is important enough that no matter how perfect your training, if your mind isn’t right you may not make any gains at all. If you do succeed, but your mind is not in the right place, there’s no joy in it. One of the keys to having your mind in the right place is an attitude of thankfulness.

Be thankful also for those struggles. Relish in the joy of the moment. In the fact that you can push yourself and even in the fact that you fail. Failure is not tragic it is a stepping stone to greater success. The difference between turning a failure from the end of the road to a stepping stone is never quitting. Step back and be grateful for the fact that you can do hard exercise and that you’ve been put on a path that very few can walk. In the end you will know more about yourself and come farther than most people will ever dream.


Are you ready to have the keys to unlock your own inner universe? Are you ready to have a plan that takes you beyond normal training? Are you ready to defy convention? Trash genetics? Drop-kick pseudo-science? And actually get the world class strength and endurance that you deserve? Then don’t wait any longer, don’t waste anymore time.

Remember the more grateful you are the higher you can climb.
