The Buddy System

Taking a look at all the greats in our history, it always seems that they did it all themselves. I’m willing to bet that they didn’t. Every great champion has a great team behind him or her. Muhammad Ali had an amazing trainer with an amazing team in his corner. Arnold has a gym full of men and women who all wanted the same thing. Even though they may have competed against each other, they helped each other both physically and mentally. Your situation is no different. Look around you. Where is your team? 

                Your team may not consist of knowledgeable trainers, an investor and an elderly gentleman with a beanie screaming,” I didn’t hear no bell!” However, your support comes from your: Family, friends, co workers, acquaintances, neighbors, girlfriend/boyfriend or your teachers/mentors.  Unfortunately, I believe that we don’t always have the luxury of having this support group. Maybe it is the people we are associating with or maybe it is our situation in life

                We know that some of our support can be obtained financially. Maybe a trainer at the gym? Maybe the support group from Weight Watchers can help your progress. Believe me when I tell you that they are there for a reason. We all lose motivation from time to time. It is inevitable. Whenever that happens is when our support team helps pick up the slack. Don’t think of it as you can’t do it on your own. You can do it. You are doing it. Just know that from time to time, even the best need a push. I’ve always said that no one can stay on top forever. You can’t always pitch a perfect game and you can’t always run the table every time.

                I do want to mention that I know some of us don’t have this support system. A lot of us may be treading to success by ourselves. Even worse, we may be associating with the wrong crowd as we try to get where we want to be. I see this a lot more in my profession. Know that as like attracts like, success brings success. You want to surround yourself with people who know what it takes to achieve and who have succeeded in their past. This will get you further than what you have going on now.
