This Trainer's Truths Part 1

Truth is most of you will quit reading after the second line or not read this at all

Truth is most of you that do read this will forget it in an hour

To Life:

Truth is you can not change your life without changing the way you live

Truth is, it is always hard it never gets easy and if it does get easy that means you quit trying

Truth is you will fail, everyone fails it is not a matter of IF it is a matter of when.

Truth is it isn't the government, your job, your coach, school, your parents, your spouse, your friend, your disability or any situation that is holding you back.

Truth is the only thing holding you back is you.

To weight loss:

Truth is you are not genetically incapable

Truth is there will be pain there will be sacrifice you will be uncomfortable

Truth is you aren't as out of shape as you think you are

Truth is you also aren't as fit as you think you are

Truth is you will never know until you try

Truth is any excuse you have, I have heard it before

Truth is if your food comes in a package they can put any words they want on the outside it doesn't change what is inside the package

Truth is "one won't hurt" is a lie you tell yourself and will ruin you every time. One is never enough but is ALWAYS too much.

Truth is "I eat pretty good" is yet another lie

Truth is there is no magic pill, secret exercise, special electronic device or certain type of clothing in the world that will take the weight off

Truth is we can use hundreds of different equations but numbers mean very little in the end

Truth is the secret isn't more cardio, weights or a certain diet to get you where you want to be.

Truth is the only thing that is going to get you there is SELF discipline.

Truth is YOU CAN

To athletes:

Truth is everyone is an athlete

Truth is the athlete with great genetics will have an upper hand

Truth is if you want to be average keep doing what everyone else is doing

Truth is you are better than you think you are

Truth is if you are not working your hardest you will not get any better

Truth is there is ALWAYS someone working harder and doing more than you are

Truth is the risk of hard work is higher than the reward almost every time

Truth is the harder the work the higher the risk

Truth is you have a way better chance of ending your career with injury than you do of being successful at any level

Truth is if you don't take the risk you will never know

To Everyone:

Truth is when you decide to not give 100% you are NOT the only one that knows but you ARE the only that can make that decision

Truth is numbers don't lie but they also don't tell the entire story

Truth is comparing yourself to other people gets you nowhere

Truth is when you fail and YOU WILL FAIL, you are not a failure until you quit trying

Truth is you will not succeed until you decide to be HAPPY!!

Truth is I want you to succeed and will do everything I can to get you there

Truth is in the end, the only one that can help you is YOU..........
