TMHS 272: Self-Analysis, Eccentric Exercise, & Training Your Mind For Success - With Steve Weatherford

Published: Feb. 28, 2018, 3:08 a.m.

Every human has the capacity to achieve great things. That\u2019s undeniable. But what makes the difference between those who step into that greatness, and those who let their potential dwindle and die? I think the answer to that question can be summed up in one word: will.

When the inevitable challenges arrive in the pursuit of your goals, you need the will to push through. When things don\u2019t go your way, how\u2019s that willpower looking then? When simply giving yourself permission to want what you really want, you have to have the will to claim it. Willpower is not a motivational idea, it\u2019s a necessity for anything of great success.

My guest today won a Super Bowl championship in the NFL, he was voted the NFL\u2019s fittest man, and he\u2019s currently one of the most influential figures in the world in fitness. He will tell you that it was not his connections, it was not his natural physical attributes, it was, in fact, his will that was his superpower to help him achieve all that he has. Can you develop and flex your muscles of willpower to help you achieve your own big goals and dreams? You bet you can. And the one and only Steve Weatherford is here to help you do it.
