Success Secret from a Dead World Leader
This came across my monitor today and wanted to pass it along…
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Compliments of one the greats – Theodore Roosevelt.
This is a guy who was born with asthma and was sick as kid all the time.
What did he do about it?
He embraced a strenuous life in order to overcome his physical weakness.
Oh yea – he also was Commander in Chief of the United States.
So it’s safe to say he know’s a thing or two about growth and overcoming adversity.
When you begin you’re journey for a Spartan body (or any venture in self-improvement) you will have critics, whom I affectionally call haterz.
And if you listen to them – shame on you.
Like Teddie said, the credit belongs to YOU ‘cuz you’re in the arena taking the hits, making the changes and those difficult decisions necessary to advance in health & life.
Chin up.
The world will forgive you if you make mistakes, but it will never forgive you if make no DECISIONS.
Decide to keep moving forward.

P.S. Hey, let’s face it:
Critics and haterz may not be cool… but learning how to quickly and efficiently build lean muscle IS.
Not only do you turn heads everywhere you go, but you are genuinely
setting a positive example for those around you.
Who knows, maybe you’ll inspire them to rise up and ignore the critics too.
