INTRO
To bodybuild or to body build? That IS the question! While both are individual pursuits in their own rights, to body build is far more reaching and totalistic. I will touch on focus what it is to body build during this series. I think you will find that when you body build you certain CAN bodybuild.
I am going to focus on what we can all do to become more complete human beings. In no way am I going to talk about hidden potential and that percentage of brain mass that you don't use.
“Self-reliance is the only road to true freedom, and being one's own person is its ultimate reward.” Becoming the ultimate you is on your shoulders, like it or not. I had a gruff but pleasant wrestling coach that would look at me and say, “Shawn, there are a thousand excuses but no real reasons you fail.” Oddly, I had forgotten so much of what Mr. Kauffman had said until I began thinking about this article series. A thousand excuses? Then it dawned on me how often I had excuses to play the victim in life. I think I may be up to ten thousand excuses at this point in my life...and still no real reasons. Being my own person is my curse and gift. My success and failure is on me. And the same goes for you! Are you ready to honestly accept that?
A close friend of mine a pastor. He is a super nice guy. No matter what your personal religious beliefs, you have to respect a pastor that questions people to “count the cost” before deciding to become a Christian. He is challenging them right from the start to think their commitment through before just emotionally jumping in...or in some peoples' minds “drinking the Kool Aid.”
So let me close by me asking you to count the cost during this series. Think about what it would take just to accept that challenge of becoming a BODY BUILDER through this series. You already know that its all on you. This entire series really is about all of us learning, reminding ourselves and more in becoming become balanced human beings.
