Motivation - Michael Jordan - Failure is the foundation of success

American basketball star Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. Jordan is the absolute pure example of failure and its correlation with success. When Michael was 15year of age, he was cut from his basket ball team. His coach told his that he couldn't play ball. After receiving such harsh comments Michael went home, locked himself in his room and cried him self to sleep. A few years later he was playing for the Chicago bulls in the world famous National Basketball league of America a.k.a the NBA. 

Reenforcing the backbone of his success, Michael had experienced detrimental failure, he for a lack of a better word "Sucked" this made Jordan recognise his failures and work on them tireless, he became such a professionalise at crafting his blunders that Jordan has been well known from his slam dunking from the Free throw line, a renound talent. He is also Sponsored by Nike, with his own sub brand Jordan. this is a fantastic example of don't let anyone tell you you can not do something, if your fat, skinny or extremely obese you have identified your weaknesses and you can amend them and SUCCEED like Michael Jordan did. 

IN ORDER TO SUCCEED WE MUST FAIL FIRST, IDENTIFY AND ATTACK. MR MICHAEL JORDAN HAS EXEMPLIFIED THIS IMMENSELY. 

Some of Michael's most famous quotes are

- I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Motivation - Bruce Lee, Martial Artist legend

Today i will be talking about one of the greatest martial artists of all time, that is of course Mr Bruce Lee. Bruce was 27th of November 1940 and later died making a movie in 1973. Bruce was a man of wisdom and courage and is often referred to one of the most determined and discipline human beens that has ever walked on this earth. He has many very well known quotes, quotes which are exercised effectively by fighters all over the world. His words of courage, life experience thus, reflecting such specialised intelligence is the most invaluable experience we could ever refer to. 

Not only is Bruce Chinese, he made it onto the big screen in Hollywood at the young age of 19. It was his dream, reflecting his history and culture is just a great example of the MOTIVATION we all need to have to reach our fitness goals. We all need motivation as expressed in my most recent blog posts but to have this idols experience interoperated into fitness health and well being will most certainly ignite a fire for the foundation of getting up and getting "Physical."

Some of Bruces most famous quotes are as follows 

- Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, a very pretty often hot and fierce but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep burning and Unquenchable. 

- Knowledge will give you power, but character will give you respect

- As you think, so shall you become

- A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough

- If you spend too much time thinking of a thing, youll never get it done

- Its not the daily increase but the daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential

AND my favourite -----> Don't prey for an easy life, Prey for the Strength to Endure a Hard One

Ladies and Gentleman, this was a man who could throw up a grain of rice in the air and catch it falling with 2 chop sticks. Precision, skill and accuracy was something bruce has effectively mastered. With enough skill, will and determination you can become what ever you want to be. the only Boundary is the one you set yourself. Most importantly Success is a Journey, not a destination.

Fitness Motivation - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hollywood actress, former california Mayor, body building champion and fitness aspiring icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger born July 30 1937 dominates the fitness scene through his fabulously scultped body and controversial character. His success has been the back bone of his sheer determination, will and skill to be the best as he can, and for you readers this is the exact attitude which must be adopted in order to reach that glowing light at the end of that weightless tunnel.

Jiust like Muhummed Ali which was featured last week, Arnold stresses the importance of the energising nature of motivation when it come to getting up and achieving your tasks. Those days when your too tired from going to the gym, shut up. Those days when you claim you don't have enough time, shut up as arnold would put it. There are no excuses the gym releases serotonine, making you feel better after a great work out. Here are some of Arnold's most memorable quotes

- Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

- For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer

- When your partying, drinking, resting there is someone out there that is working hard. There is 24hrs in a day, you sleep 8 of them you work hard for 16 of those hours. 

There you have it, a character a man a successor. A main with a vision, a man who puts 110% into everything he does. Why take up something if your not going to try. You may got to the gym and work hard, but your diet may be ordinary. He can not stress the importance to the approach. You only get out what you put in.

Body Transformations Blog 2: Zyzz

This is a body transformation image of the late Aziz 'zyzz' Shavershian. Zyzz transforned his body for the better and was at the peak of his life we he unfortunately died from an undiagnosed heart condition. His sudden death had a large impact on the amateur body building world as he was an image of inspiration and hope for all who aspired to get 'shredded'. This worked hard day in and day out at the gym and even took steroids to achieve his goal body. Many people have said that Zyzz inspired and motivated them to lose weight and start going to the gym and even in death he is still inspiring people to lose weight. Zyzz's body transformed from small and skinny to ripped and buff, he said that ever since he got big he and his brother said 'chestbrah' Shavershian stopped getting bullied and it made them feel better about themselves. Getting your ideal body is good and a fit body leads to a fit mind but this blog doesn't endorse steroids as they are an illicit substance and have detrimental effects to the human health. Zyzz is another example of an amazing body transformation and his dedication and hard work can be replicated to achieve success in almost any field.
