MPG Letter Issue #97
What Are You Driven By? Find excuses Or Find Reasons, Everything Is Within
What Are You Driven By?
Someone asked me about this interesting hypothetical scenario…
What if you won the belt and got the financial rewards, but no one was there to see it or even knew? Would you still be happy?
It really makes you reflect on whether you’re driven by the recognition or something deeper.
For me, the answer lies in personal satisfaction and in the journey itself. Sure, having an audience and the spotlight is great.
But if I’m being absolutely honest, the fulfillment comes from the hard work, the discipline, and achieving something I’ve set my mind to.
Even if no one else knew, I would still find pride in knowing I accomplished it. There’s truly something about going all in… BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS and MAKING IT HAPPEN. 👊🏽
Find Excuses Or Find Reasons
The toughest workouts – the ones where you don’t feel like going or performing your best – are actually the most important.
They tend to shape your character the most.
If an individual is “just not wanting to go”, get your ass up and go. Stop being a little bi@&$.
In life you either find an excuse or you find a reason. Most choose the excuse and wonder why nothing changes for them. Don’t fall into mediocrity.
We all have those difficult days. Gas tank is on E. Not wanting to get out of bed. Everything hurts. Motivation is nowhere to be found.
This is a time for you to show yourself who you are. Push through and build mental toughness and resilience.
It’s easy to train when you’re feeling great. But the days where you truly grow are when your dedication gets checked.
Mental fights get tough. But you’re either gonna roll over or dig your heels in and fight.
Everything Is Within
Miyamoto Musashi has gotten me fired up recently. I’ve been channeling my inner warrior spirit in my training.
Musashi also has a much deeper quote that goes:
“There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek nothing outside of yourself.”
It’s deep. I feel like you need to be at a higher frequency to understand this truly.
Sure, you can get advice, coaching, or a mentor. Outside help is surely needed to achieve the results you want.
But you are powerful. Your true power is within.
There are many dimensions, we are all energy. To tap into those frequencies is possible. But here’s the catch…
It’s inside. It’s within. Not on the outside.
Your senses keep you attached to the material world. You gotta tap in without your senses. You gotta lose your ego.
Be No body. No one. No where. No Thing. And no time.
We are souls controlling our bodies. I’ll stop here 🙂
