“Hey, Blinkin!”
“Did you say "Abe Lincoln"?”
---Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Lifestyles that young adolescents have now are not influenced by athletics or physical activity. Kids are influenced by technology and demand instant results. This demand for instant results leads to little work ethic amongst that age group.
Doing something difficult can change a teenagers work ethic. “By overcoming hard obstacles on a consistent basis, we set ourselves up for success. Our thoughts formulate our feelings, our feelings compose our emotions, our emotions are exhibited through actions, and our actions define who we are. So you see, if we can structure our thoughts in a successful mindset, one that strives towards success regardless of the obstacle, then it makes us a better person. One of the best ways to train to do this is to do something that is really f***ing hard. And then do that on a regular basis.” (Do Hard Things, pg. 9).
That was a clip from an article written by my beeeeeeeest friend. He is a strength coach in Wichita Falls, Texas and has currently qualified for Nations in Olympic Lifting.
In life it is necessary to do hard things.
