Progress
".....Our society is obsessed with achievement. This is especially true in the gym.
I'm just as guilty of this as anyone else. Last week, a guy at my gym clean and jerked 325 pounds and made it look easy. My first question to him was, “What’s your max?”
I didn’t say, “How is your training going?” or “Have you been making progress recently?” but rather, “What is the absolute maximum weight you can do?”
My question was all about what he could achieve, not how he has progressed.
And you’ll find that mentality everywhere. Nobody is going to celebrate you for going up 1 pound per week. Everybody wants you to try for 10 more pounds right now.
Here’s the problem: a focus on achievement in the here and now usually comes at the expense of slower, more consistent progress. Achievement is so ingrained in our culture that we often ignore progress. (Of course, focusing on progress would ultimately lead to higher achievement, but it’s easy to dismiss that fact when you want to set a new PR today.)
I’m still learning to embrace this principle myself, but I'm getting better at it. And here's what I've learned about training for slow progress rather than immediate achievement..........If you want to get in shape, to get stronger, and to reach your full potential, then what is the most important thing of all?
Answer: not missing workouts......"

Take responsibility
„It is better for you to take responsibility for your life as it is,
instead of blaming others, or circumstances, for your predicament. As
your eyes open, you'll see that your state of health, happiness, and
every circumstance of your life has been, in large part, arranged by you
- consciously or unconsciously.“

getan oder gesagt hast, aber sie werden sich immer erinnern, welche
Gefühle Du geweckt hast.“

Working When Work Isn’t Easy
"....
Anyone can work hard when they feel motivated.
When I was an athlete, I loved going to practice the week after a big win. Who wouldn’t? Your coach is happy, your teammates are pumped up, and you feel like you can beat anyone. As an entrepreneur, I love working when customers are rolling in and things are going well. Getting results has a way of propelling you forward.
But what about when you’re bored? What about when the work isn’t easy? What about when it feels like nobody is paying attention or you’re not getting the results you want?
Are you willing to work through 10 years of silence?
It's the ability to work when work isn't easy that makes the difference....."
