My brain always wants to be safe. Whew you did that now you can quit because you are happy. Jamie once told me it like this. The trainers job in boxing is to tell the boxer that the canvas is not safe, it may feel safe, but you aren't safe. The safe place is to get up and keep fighting. Today my brain is like that. It doesn't want to push the limits of what I can do because it says "Whew it is Friday, time to kick it!" I won't believe that garbage, the knowledge that I have that "Just kicking it" is the wrong thing to do is what could make the difference between success and failure. When it all comes down to it I want pleasure or I want to avoid pain, so if I through out all the bullcrap excuses my mind makes up (I am tired, you are happy why ruin today?, what will people think, this person or that person sucks,) when I throw out all the excuses I see that there is a pain I don't want to deal with. I made a deal awhile ago that I would take on some pain to be successful. So today I will push my limits and grow and not listen to the crap my mind tells me. No Excuses play like a champion.
