This was in the latest Catalyst Athletics newsletter. Greg is talking about weightlifting, but it applies to anything we do:
The Perrenial Philosophy of Weightlifting
The perennial philosophy is basically the idea that all religions share a single universal truth. Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about religion. But that idea has stuck in my head since I heard it as a 19-year-old college student in Prescott, Arizona, and it occurred to me again just now as I was wondering what to write here.
A universal truth of weightlifting, something that any good coach knows and that all athletes discover eventually one way or another, often the hard way, is that success is only possible if you genuinely believe it is. A lot of people talk about success – about wanting it, about how great it would be, about other successful people… but they fail to commit to the course of action that will actually make them successful. If you have doubts about your ability to succeed, whether realized or not, you will never fully commit to your goals, and you'll never achieve them. You'll always find ways to sabotage yourself, find excuses, rattle off lists of limitations out of your control, and find yourself nowhere near your stated goal.
If you want something, you need to make an honest assessment of what's necessary and whether or not you're willing to do what it takes. If not, quit lying to yourself about what you're doing.
