" It is always easier to make excuses, but there isn’t much reward in an excuse filled life. Stop worrying about what natural abilities you may or may not have. I personally know some average athletes (from the standpoint of natural ability) who busted ass, defied the odds, and eventually became world champions.
Stop worrying whether you are tall enough, fast enough, young enough, etc. Develop your own ability in the gym.
Just for an example, I’ve received emails from aspiring fighters asking if they were too old to start fighting. These emails often come from teenagers who are still babies to the sport. Why ask me? Why should I decide your future? Don’t let me or anyone else decide what you can do. It isn’t up to me. I won’t be there waking you up early in the morning to train. I won’t be there at night pushing you through another session. You need to write your own destiny.
And if you don’t achieve what you want, maybe it is your fault, and nothing else. Take a look in the mirror. Maybe your definition of hard work isn’t universal. Ultimately, if you want something, go get it. That’s it.
No one receives a handbook at birth that lists what we are capable of achieving. There will always be critics and naysayers who take comfort in seeing you fail. It helps them to accept their own failure (ie. at least I’m not the only one who didn’t make it). Stay away from these dream snatchers, but realize that they are in every city in this world.
Shut them up with action. It works better than any other form of communication."
...WOW.
