Billy Blanks on Motivation

Listen to the Angel

On one shoulder, a devil shouts in your ear, telling you how bad you feel, how tired you are, and trying to convince you to just give up and walk off. That's your body.

On the other shoulder, an angel encourages you, reminding you how much better you're going to feel if you just get through the next few reps. That's your spirit.

Your mind is somewhere in the middle, sitting on the fence, listening to both sides of the story, trying to decide which way to go. Now your mind can take either side, depending on what kind of information it has.

You're going to take some action.

Will it be positive or negative? Will you keep going or will you quit?
