The scientific literature documents that resistance exercise notonly serves to induce positive physiologicalchanges but also can help to enhance andmaintain our functional ability in later life.While this is all to the good, it remains truethat the first reason most people have for working out is to improve their appearance,and in this respect, bodybuilding is without peer in the fitness world.
Challenge// Face Failure Head On
Don't let fear of failure leave you stagnant. Apprehension will cause you to hold a steady, creeping pace. This isn't bad in and of itself, but let's be frank: There's a time to be cautious, and a time to let enthusiasm stamp down on the accelerator. Life is a journey, but you don't get there by driving the same speed both in the school zone and on the freeway.
Instead of thinking of your ambitious goal as a guaranteed failure, tackle your challenge by recognizing it as a step toward a stronger you—no matter what comes out of it
Embrace Failure!
It might hurt to hear this but, you should know that you are going to fail, and probably more than once before you reach your ultimate potential.
Even if you exert the utmost control over your diet and training, you're going to have setbacks like bad workouts, periods of low energy, injuries, and external stress.
Know that this isn't an excuse to be undisciplined, but an understanding that you'll have to stay in the game for the long haul. If you don't understand the likelihood of occasional setbacks, every mishap will seem like the end of the world.
Keep those failures to a minimum by remembering that you can never be forced to eat bad foods or sit on the couch instead of going to the gym. Optimize everything you can control, and understand that the things you can't control may sometimes bring you down. The right mindset will allow you to bounce back as soon as possible!
