My fav quote of Will Smith goes for example "the man or woman who thinks they will, and then the man or woman who thinks that they can't, both are usually right". I BOTH those cats, sometimes....
Example - I have been skinny for some my life, very much about age 26. How skinny? 6 foot 1, 10 stone...scrawny enough for my ex-girl to admit "Jerry, you haven't any ass", once we split up. She said hello comfortably too, knowing there was clearly nothing I can criticize Beyonce-licious body.
"Jerry, wholly ass"
Ouch.
Ironically, Used to go gym long ago to improve muscle. A little bit of got built, however i found myself telling myself why I could not build a lot: didn't have proper time, had to read another gym book, training partners quitting....
It happened. I won an audition within my uni to act in Shakespeare's play Othello, as Othello himself. Yeah, it was the lead role. And there'd pay audiences there - including hot uni girls. And, don't ask why, I invited that ex-girl who called me "no ass" to at least one of one's performances. And i also invited an Egyptian ex-model I fancied in excess of a whole year (long story).
And after that I found out that during a scene I'd really have to strip the whole set of clothes off my top half....EXPOSING MY SKINNY NAKEDNESS In to the WHOLE UNIVERSE-ITY....may not have auditioned basically if i knew that ish.
Onto exposing my matchstick-man frame, the exposure would damage the believability of my Othello character (a character I have to pay months learning and rehearsing). Why? Othello became a sword-fighting war hero, winner of crazy man to man combats - it would not work visually should present a matchstick version of him.
I could not even get out belonging to the play basically want to - had already invited mad friends. I invited mad fam too. Everybody was in anticipation...
Oooh, the pressure was high...
Long story short, it was subsequently sink or swim. And i was prepared to apply to deep-sea diving gear.
Considering the show deadline coming right at me, it's interesting how all my excuses for not applying muscle vanished. Arrived to man-up to check out the things i is intended of. F*** it. I went strait from thinking "I can't" to "yes, I can" on some Obama ish.
I ate better, my gym workouts found purpose, i stopped missing workouts. Well, one or two workouts got missed but Jerry was focused maaan. Whenever i even arrived at an Othello rehearsal late, strait from gym, together with the play director move it she was PISSED!
The moment the very first Othello performance started, I have built mad muscle and weighed past 12 stone as a beginner throughout my life. And I was looking good, resembling the damn man-conquering army-general Othello I found myself suppose to get playing.
FYI: I have to have experienced an Oscar winning performance because me knowning that Egyptian ex-model kissed now that night.
Businesses I have already been in a position to weigh past 13 stone, at the top notch of my healthy weight range. Posterior tibial muscle helped get me paid sex-symbol roles, and modelling assignments. Boom!
AND girls complement me on my own ass (would have to be said).
To summarize, assuming health and well being, today I'm convinced me or if you have the possibility to try regardless of the hell we put our passion to. The ugliest caterpillar among us can change themselves perfectly into a butterfly of success.
However, just because a site caterpillar uses the possibility to grow to be a butterfly doesn't imply it will. Actually, MANY caterpillars don't become butterflies. It's true, they catch an ailment and die prematurely....the sickness is Get-Eat-By-Hungry-Bird-i-tis.
Humans have a very parallel illness, generally Won't-Try-Because-I'm-Scared-o-sis. It doesn't cause physical death such as the caterpillars' case, it causes something much worse: the death of dreams.
This boogeyman illness, literally scaring dreams to death, is definitely an epidemic. Hell, you've probably already caught it and know!!
They are the sole cure is bold belief. I'm writing about delusional, ignorance racing, fake it 'till you're making it, BELIEF.
