Motivation - Perspective is everything

The following are a few quotes that I found in motivational gym videos on YouTube.
In my opinion they can be applied on any activity or life event, be it work, a difficult assignment, exercise or just reaching one's individual goals and dreams.
If you're into bodybuilding (even remotely), then I recommend you to check out JerichoDMZ's motivational videos on YouTube.

"Work on your focus, perspective is everything.

The problem with most of you is that you see difficult as something negative.

I want you to see difficult differently. Do you hear me? I need you to see difficult differently!

That weight-lifter when he’s looking at those weights, he got that iron. That iron is heavy, but he isn’t looking at that iron like “look at how heavy that iron is”.

He knows what it’s going to do. It’s going to tear his muscles to pieces. He gets it! What he understands is that if it tears them down they will rebuild themselves. They will rebuild themselves that much stronger!

The more you go through, the more difficult it is, the more challenging it is, the harder it is. Are you hearing me? Don’t quit!

I suggest to you, if you want to become diamond, write down five reasons why it is worth it for you to become a diamond.

To experience that level of achievement, what is it that will give you the drive?

What is it that will ignite the courage in you to get up and come back again and again and again?

If it was easy, everybody would be good at it. If you want something you never had before, you have to be willing to do something you’ve never done before.

This is kind of hard to understand but, sometimes you can try so hard at something. Sometimes you can be so prepared, and still fail.

And every time you fail it’s painful. It causes sadness.

I’ve often said that a man’s character is not judged after his celebrates of victories, but what he does when his back is against the wall.

So no matter how great the setback. How severe the failure. You never give up.

You never give up. You pick yourself up. You brush yourself off. You push forward. You move on. You adapt. You overcome. That is what I believe!"

Go out there and show yourself, and everyone else, what you're made of. Today is your day!
