Motivational Video & Quote of the Week: Fame or Juliet-Dreams of Reality/Eric Thomas

This is my own inspired version of this song/video about those that inspired me (ET, Fame or Juliet, Eminem, Detroit). Mad respect to "Fame or Juliet" for putting together such a sick and motivational song. Your lyrics are ridiculous! You dudes are going to blow up. As for ET, I have been watching Eric Thomas "ET the hip hop preacher" for months now and he continues to inspire me, as well as you I'm assuming, if you have found this video. Also a Detroit native, this goes out to the hope that ET is bringing to those struggling in our fine city of Detroit and the state of Michigan. In the words of ET- "When you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful, as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful!" (Quote of the Day)
The dude is incredible. Please like/subscribe and we can all inspire by spreading hope via music & video.

Motivational Quote of the Day for: Exercise 2

"Act as though and it shall be.

The seed you sow today will not produce crop till tomorrow. For this reason, your identity does not lie in your current results. This is not who you are. Your current results are who you were."

Notice the difference between the first

seed planted and the last, where do you wish

 to be not just tomorrow, but in 3, 6, or 12 months?

- James A. Ray

Many times in life we are persuaded to take the easy way out, a "quick fix", yet that quick fix never completely does the job does it? It never really fixes anything...which then makes you wonder why the heck did I waste my time and do it in the first place when I could have been working towards something greater. I challenge you today to not take the easy way out, go the easy route, or quick fix in your exercise and weight training adventure, and in life! Things that come to easy are usually not worth having (unless of course if it's free mint chocolate chip ice cream...low fat/slow churned of course). So if your thinking to attempt that 20 lbs in 30 days diet, or miracle pill that will burn fat in your target areas, or that piece of equipment sold late at night said to get you "Killer abs" just by using this T bar looking device held together by rubber bands that looks like a makeshift missile launcher...think again, and ask yourself:  "is this just going to get me to what I want tomorrow, or will it inspire me to be who I wish to be?"

Motivational Quote of the Day for: Success 1

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become, everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs, Founder & CEO of Apple, Inc.

This quote of the day comes from one of my favorite companies, business man, and inventor Steve Jobs. If you don't know who he is by now, then you might want to lift that rock you've been living under for the past decade! I'm sure your using something he has invented on a daily basis or probably reading this post from it like an iPhone, iPod, Mac Book, iPad...ya thats all him. Anyway lets get on with it, his lasting words come from this video below where he gave a Commencement Address at Stanford in 2005. The video is a bit lengthy as he talks about his amazing rags to riches story, and life lessons along the way; so if you want to skip through to the epic ending jump to 12:03 minutes or right to the quote at 12:46 minutes.

It's Monday, make it a great week!
