As bodybuilding becomes more admired and
accepted and people wanting a ripped, toned and
healthy body becomes more popular every day, I
often see the other side of the story. There are
people who think that bodybuilding gives nothing to
anyone, least of all the general public. My view is
that bodybuilding actually provides many important
things to people and I have listed three examples of
this below.
· Entertainment
· Discipline
· Self-belief
Self-belief is what defines the mindset of a
competitor. It involves people putting themselves
first and doing what it takes to challenge their body
and mind to reach another level. If you think it is a
selfish thing to put yourself first and achieve
whatever it is you wish for, you will need to
understand what it takes to become happier about
how you look, how you feel and how the people
around you are being affected by what you do.
A true competitor has passion, dedication and a love
for the struggle. A competitor’s mindset is that 100%
effort might not be enough. Sometimes maybe not
even 110% dedication is enough. We are never
completely happy and are always searching for that
little bit more and that is what makes us competitors
and some of us winners. Competitors are normal
people who love normal things but who choose to
make life more hectic and who definitely love
looking good naked.
