I Look Into the Eyes of My Competition

This is a simple exercise for me.  I love to watch videos like these.  I always have.  However, as I watch them now I am visualizing these athletes as my competition.  I am visualizing myself equally as strong if not stronger than they are.  Fitter than they are.  I am looking at them with competitive eyes, NOT as untouchable celebrity athletes. 

I watch this, and I pay attention to my thoughts.  If my thoughts turn to idolization or feeling inferior, I seize it, take control of it, and replace it with confidence and motivation.  I see the end goal as if it is NOW. 


I used to think that Noah Olsen was just cocky and arrogant.  Now I understand him.  He, as a rookie, thought he could beat the best of the best.  And as it turned out, he was among them.  Now he is potentially a frontrunner to be the very best in the world for 2016.  He won the OPEN after all. 


I love what Noah says here... "I used to get rocked all the time by [certain elite competitors], they would crush me with anything that had any weight in it....and in the beginning just constantly getting my ass kicked made me think, someday, I'm gonna be as good as these guys.  Someday I'm gonna compete with them.  And Someday I'm gonna be better than them.....and that helped me to keep pushing and pushing...."
