The Ownership Mentality: The Missing Link to Your Success
Category : Uncategorized
I was a victim.
I had everything going against me.
Or at least so I thought.
In high and school college, I wanted nothing more than to get bigger and stronger. I wanted to put on slabs of muscle and get “jacked.”
But it seemed like no matter what program I tried, I couldn’t put on muscle. So I blamed my “skinny” genetics.
A couple of years ago, I decided to start a fitness business. Even though I felt I was doing all the right things, I seemed to never have success or get any clients.
Was it because I had another job and couldn’t devote the time? Was it because I also had a lot going on outside my career? Maybe it was because I took a lot of time each week to train and prep my meals.
When I was in my early 20s, I had never had a girlfriend and had never even been on a date.
I thought it was because I was introverted, and I also told myself the story it wasn’t a good time to date because I was focused on my career.
In all three areas of my life (fitness, career and relationships), I failed to have success.
Lo and behold, in all three areas of my life I had a “victim” mindset.
In other words, I thought it wasn’t my fault for why I didn’t have the results I wanted.
I was a victim of circumstances.
But then a major shift happened for me – I accepted responsibility for my results.
Both good and bad.
And wouldn’t you know it, I began seeing results in each area of my life.
It’s called the “Ownership” mentality.
You can employ any strategy you want in an attempt to build your body, but until you accept 100 percent responsibility for your results, you’ll never see the results you truly want.
So what’s the “Ownership” mentality?
You accept you’re the cause of everything that’s happened to you (under which you can physically control) in your life both good and bad.
If you’re not losing weight, it’s not because your job is busy.
If you’re not getting to the gym consistently, it’s not because it’s the holidays.
The reason you didn’t lose weight or get to the gym consistently is because YOU didn’t prioritize.
When you accept you’re the cause of everything, you then realize the control you have to make a change in any area of your life.
And you open up a whole new world of possibility.
The reason you haven’t dropped belly fat IS because of you. But that’s great because you can make a decision right now to change that when you adopt an “Ownership” mentality.
You can choose whether you log your food today. You can choose whether you hit your macronutrients. You can choose whether you do your workout. You can choose whether you give 100 percent in your workout.
When you realize the type of control you have over your life, you become an unstoppable force that can’t be de-railed.
So choose to become the type of person who operates from an “Ownership” mentality.
And when you do, you’ll begin seeing better results in not only your body and health, but also your relationships, career, finances and everything in between.
You can bet on it.
