Another good read by Shawn Ray.
In the business of making money from muscles you better have thick skin and a strong will! In bodybuilding, you reap what you sow, you can take that to the bank! First, you must realize that we are not all created equally, physically speaking. Second, no matter how hard you train or sacrifice, there are no guarantees you will ever amount to anything more than a local or city level champion, if that! Reality check!
Genetics play an integral part in determining how far you may soar as a competitor, just as the judges do during the selection process of who's better than who? The madness in this muscle business is to a certain degree controlled and regulated by what seems to be a handful of judges who judge all the important amateur and professional shows. These judges have a certain control over what look takes us into the new Millennium! One thing, every athlete with a desire to compete must brace themselves, bodybuilding is a subjective sport that is ruled and based upon opinion's.
Therefore, no matter how hard you trained or what you may think of your opposition, the final outcome is totally out of your control. As a professional, I must accept the judges decision as final.
My only resolve with regards to the outcome, if unfavorable, is to go back to the gym train harder. At the end of the day, if you do your best you will reap the rewards of your hard work in other areas of life that may come in different forms. The real reward comes in the journey. Finish what you started and step up to the plate to see what your made of.
Stay the course and you'll at least win in the most important game. The game of Life!
