Pain is Weakness Leaving The Body!




I was at Cedar Point in Ohio two weeks ago lining up to ride The Dragster. I am not a big fan of rides so being in that spot it made me think and think. Being in that situation will make you keep quiet for that moment. As my eyes wandered around, this guy's t-shirt caught my eye. It said "Pain is weakness leaving the body". I thought that it was pretty cool.


Let me make the message of this month's
e- magazine short and sweet. A lot of people come up to me to tell me that boxing training is not for them simply because it's too hard. Guess what, that "too hard" will take you to your desired goals, guaranteed.


If you want to achieve your goals you need to work extra hard. You have to do things that "nobody" is doing. That is how you surpass yourself. Yes, you feel the "pain" (pain here is figurative I may add) but it is all temporary!


Consider this analogy: Remember the first days of school? You didn't know how to read and write. I'm sure it was hard for you and your teacher. However, I am sure that the teacher was positive that you could make it. Now here you are reading this. It is simply a hard process that once achieved is rewarding.


Pain is temporary. Just like anything else, once you get used to it, and when you know that you are expecting constant change up in your workouts, the process will be easier. You won't think of it as "painful" but rather a character- building experience. That is how I look at my experiences in the sport of boxing.


From business, politics, sports... to old school Muhammad Ali to your present day Manny Pacquiao--- they all went through all the "pain" to achieve what they have achieved. Training has improved every facet of my life and I am sure it will for you too. Hard work, dedication and determination will take us places. There are more obstacles that will come my way for sure but I know I can go through them all because of positive attitude. I know that obstacles will "leave" me and I will be a better person. It is a few days of toughness for a lifetime of glory!!!
