Lesson Learned
I was a great seminar this weekend and I learned a lot of interesting things. I learned plenty of nutrition and training, but my favorite are always the life lessons.
Dave Tate shared some pretty inspiration knowledge, and he was certainly passionate about it (Imagine an intense 275lb ripped-to-the-bone man standing up more or less yelling this!).
First a little background, Dave owns Elite Fitness Systems which outfits a number of high school and collegiate weight room--they make the best equipment and EFS has become the BRAND as far as strength equipment goes, but they had some hard times.
Dave didn't pay himself for the first 5 years of business, there were times when wasn't even sure how he was going to pay his bills and the company started at a fold out table in his bedroom. Even when there seemed to be no hope along the way, he stuck to the path and eventually his passion to fulfill his dream eventually came to fruition.
He made it a point to find the things in your life that are the most valuable to you and stick and live by them no matter what. If there are important things or people in your life, keep them in your life. Don't give up on your dreams for fear of failure.
You don't want to be on your deathbed and have regrets about what you should have done instead or what you didn't do. Not to get morbid or sappy on you, but you could die tomorrow by some strange occurrence and you have to live everyday to the fullest and love the people closest to you and take action with your dreams.
I recently had a friend who was more or less in a rut. I stopped by his work last night to visit him since I was in town and you could see in his eyes something had changed. Sure enough, after talking to him he made a decision to start action on his ideas and chasing his dreams instead of letting it all pass him by.
It's never to late to start and if you have the right people supporting you, you can achieve anything. Sometimes you just gotta put the work in to get something back out of it.

P.S. Excuse the typos--I got pretty pumped up writing!
