James Allen penned the following line in his work,
As a Man Thinketh:
Quote:

Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.

My questions for this thread is this:
- What is in your mental arsenal? What kinds of thoughts or questions do you ask yourself that has helped you to succeed in your quest toward health and wellness?
- What/Who is your secret weapon in this battle? Yeah, I know it won't be a secret then...but go ahead and tell us anyway. Maybe it is a coach, a friend, a relative, significant other. How about a training program, a collection of training programs, or just the matter of sticking with any program...
- What/who is your nemesis, your arch-enemy? We all have our enemies be it thoughts of inferiority (ourselves), inability to perform this or that exercise (our circumstances), or it could be something as simple as not knowing how to perform an exercise (our knowledge) because you think you might look like an idiot. Note: The guy curling in the squat rack is not as knowledgeable as he looks. Let us know what you're up against. My hallucination is that we all fight many of the same battles...
I know that there is a beautiful thing called a search feature on JPF that were I dedicated enough, I could read 6 months of posts or more on a similar subject. I'd rather collect information here. Who knows maybe some things have changed.
To all the lurkers: As my Coach, Coach Staley would say...Don't make me come over there! Why don't you participate in this one as well. I promise, we don't bite but if someone starts looking a little menacing, my buddy Mahler will lay the smack down!
