Some days are better than others. Sometimes I get up in the morning and all I want to do is get more sleep; for a few moments I forget my goals in life, work, family, gym, etc. When that happens, a little motivation does’t come bad at all. Usually what helps me is to be clear about what I want to achieve; this way I can see what steps I should take to get to that point.

With that in mind, one of my favorite quotes is this one:

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done. Make at least one definite move daily toward your goal.Bruce Lee

These are some of my posts that serve as motivation, whether it be for the gym or daily life:

Every now and then some guy comes with “advice”. I’d be at the gym strength training with low reps and he’d say: “you should lower the weight and do more reps”. Drives me crazy. The gym is my church… I wouldn’t bother you when you’re praying. #gym #workout #training #bodybuilding #getstrong #focus #weighttraining De vez en cuando algún tipo se me acerca con “consejos”. Estoy en el gym entrenando fuerza con pocas reps y el tipo dice: “deberías bajar el peso y hacer más repeticiones”. Me vuelven loco. El gimnasio es mi iglesia… yo no te molestaría cuando estás rezando.
