In the world of personal growth, Steven Pressfield’s ‘Do The Work’ stands as a transformative beacon. Have you read it yet? If not, stop what you are doing (the blog will be here when you get back lol) and go read it.
It will change your life because it changed mine. The book is about resistance, how resistance will always try and block your journey towards your goals, and I will confess in these past few weeks I have had to battle with some SERIOUS resistance…and it was all internal.
I launched a massive new project, called Awaken The Fighter Inside, during a global pandemic (great idea, Paul!🤣🤣). I have lost count of the hours and dollars that I have put into its development, and at the end of it, I had over 400 guys signed up for my first-ever Awaken The Fighter Inside Challenge. 400!
And that’s when the resistance hit me…
I had what is known as ‘Imposter Syndrome’. I was wondering “Can I Do This?” or “Who Do I Think I Am?”🤷♂️…all the negative self-talk came charging through, making me really wonder if I had it in me to follow through with my Challenge.
Remember : Resistance isn’t always external, sometimes it comes from within.
I knew that I had to make a decision. I could run away, believe my weak self-talk, and let the resistance win. Orrrrrrr I could stand up, and Do The Work. I chose to do the work, and after the FIRST video of my challenge, I knew that I was hitting my stride and that I was NOT an imposter.
The comments and feedback from this group of guys in the challenge were insane. People who had given up having fun, given up setting goals, and given up on THEMSELVES were able to say that they were motivated for change! 💬
We all know the years have been rough, I don’t know anyone who hasn’t been affected by the events of the pandemic, but we can rise above and get back on track.
My four F’s…
🔥Fitness, Family, Finances, & Fun🔥
…these are my core values as a man and now I am able to share them with hundreds of guys every day in Awaken The Fighter Inside Challenges.
And remember, you are NOT an imposter…you can achieve your goals, and you can win. All you need is a little push sometimes. Resistance is REAL, but your ability to overcome resistance is REAL too!
