WHEN LIFE GETS HARD – Motivational Workout Speech 2019
hard times require character hard times
require resolve hard times require
spirit and heart we must be strong in
hard times
the question isn’t for hard times show
up because hard times will show up the
real question is will you show character
will there be moments where you want to
give up yes that’s for sure but what are
you made of
sometimes life is so hard we feel we
just can’t find the strength to keep
going well I’m telling you to keep going
to show some character to build
unbreakable character sometimes in life
you have to fight back you must be
strong show character and prevail you
see no one on its earth is exempt from
our times we all suffer setbacks we all
have challenging events arrive in our
lives that we have no control over but
the difference in the quality of life we
live is how we respond to those events
do we show character in tough times or
do we crumble
Mike Tyson once said everyone has a plan
until they get punched in the mouth and
I’m telling you guys that is how most of
you live everything is just fine
it’s your life punches you in the mouth
everyone shows great character until
something goes wrong are you going to
show great character when life punches
you in the mouth will you get back up
will you fight back who are you made-up
believe is stroke or will you be out for
the count
give up like the majority or so
character like the minority you need to
work for your character no one is handed
down character
you don’t give will birthday or
Christmas you can by working on yourself
every single day you gave my remaining
strung in the hard time you get what
sticking out
the truth is that light touches all of
us the sad part is that the majority
choose to stay there they choose to give
up on life give up on living their dream
never give up show your character don’t
be what you are made-up prevail even
when no one believes you came even when
you have no right to believe things will
turn around trust things will turn
around never give up so you care to show
me what you made of what are you made of
it is in our toughest of moments that
our greatest character is formed when
you’re going through a hard time remind
yourself this will not break me this
will make me every day you have two
choices I will survive this day or I
will bribe this day I choose to drive I
choose to show the character of a
champion the strength of a warrior the
heart of a lion find your why your I
will pull you up when you feel like you
don’t have the strength to get up in
your why I will give you fighting when
everyone else thinks you are out for the
count
why who are you fighting for what drives
you
show me your Kirk and what you consider
to be one of your worst days when you
give a deeper meaning may well turn out
to be one of your best dates never
forget that our progress takes place
outside of your country if you want to
must grow you’ll be the push to pass the
baby baby if you want your character the
problem you must push yourself through
the pain push yourself through and don’t
just survive
rah
life is a test it is only a test show
how strong you are in hard times and you
can thrive at any time find your vision
and follow it you see I think it’s the
most important thing that we have a very
clear vision of where we go because you
can have the best ship in the world you
can have the best cruise liner but if
the captain does not know where to go
that ship will drift around the world
and out there that sea and we’ll never
end up anywhere and this is exactly the
way it is in real life if you don’t have
a core if you don’t have a vision you
just drift around this is why it is so
important to have that vision now I
created a vision in Austria because I
grew up after the Second World War
Austria right along with Germany lost
the Second World War the problem was
that everyone was so depressed because
they lost the war that there was
alcoholism everywhere there was of
course depression there was a terrible
economic situation there was famine
there was starvation and all these
things and also it was kind of a little
place in narrow I felt kind of I wanted
to get out of there I wanted to escape
one day I was fortunate enough to see a
magazine and it was a bodybuilding
magazine and on the cover was this very
muscular guy
I read the article as fast as I could
learning about how he grew up in Leeds
and Indians poor and how he trained five
hours a day every single day and trained
and trained and trained and lifted
weights and then he finally became mr.
Great Britain and then he quit became
mr. universe and anyone a second mr.
Universe title in the third mr. universe
title and then all of a sudden he landed
in Rome in Canada doing Hercules movies
his name was reg Park
in Si red I became more and more certain
about my own future as I read this story
I was so excited so Pinterest that I
knew exactly that I wanted to become
another rich part I had that vision very
clearly laid out I was so happy that the
knew exactly where I was going
from that moment on everything that I
did no matter how hard I had to work or
how much I had to struggle it didn’t
matter
it was a wonderful Joyride because I
knew what the purpose was I found my
passion the simple truth is if you don’t
have a vision if you don’t have a goal
if you don’t see your future laid out in
front of you you’re just floating around
without the purpose and I think that the
numbers speak for themselves this is why
so many people around the world are
unhappy with their jobs I always smile
the middle how hard I work I remember in
the pumping iron days people asked me in
the gym all the time why are you smiling
all the time why are you so happy I’d
tell them always they say I smile
because I know exactly that every rep
that I do that every set that I do every
way to they live they get one step
closer to turning that vision of mind
into reality and becoming that history
under growth
I could not wait to lift another 500
pounds in the squats I couldn’t look
weight to do another thousand sit-ups I
couldn’t wait to the bench players more
bench persons more girls until I
couldn’t move my arms anymore because I
knew that every rep got me closer to
standing on that stage as a champion
it’s a matter of fact when I lifted
weights I didn’t really feel like I was
lifting weights I felt like I was
lifting a trophy over my head each time
I lifted and to have all those body for
those around me and thousands of people
screaming
never ever think small if you’re going
to accomplish anything you have to think
big you have to go and shoot for the
stars
the biggest challenge most people have
is because it thinks small and the
reason why people think small and why
did you choose small and little goals is
because they are afraid to fail they
know that if you shoot for a big goal
then the chances of failing are very
high that the only time you really
consider the failure is if you fall and
you don’t get up but if you get up you
never considered the failure so I never
considered myself a failure I always
consider myself a winner
even though AFL every so often but I
always got up and I always move forward
I never had any patience of course with
Smita thinking small because in German
we were saying then Zhang den Shan and
that means that if it was something
think of all out and do it well
this is not just the case in
bodybuilding I didn’t just want to be a
bodybuilding champion I wanted to be the
greatest bodybuilder four times I wonder
that’s the most muscle then the most
first of all times the most definition I
wanted to win the most trophies the most
World Championship titles I just wanted
to be the best and the same is also in
movies I didn’t just think about being
in movies no I wanted to be a movie star
I wanted to have above the title
building I wanted to become the highest
paid entertainer I basically wanted to
be another John Wayne what’s wrong with
that to remember never thank small
thanks big nobody ever stumbled upon
success by accident except maybe the guy
who found Ford in California
but don’t ever think that you can be
that guy you never want to fail because
you didn’t work hard enough I always
believed no stone unturned work your
butt off that’s what I always believed
the matter what you do work work work
I remember Muhammad Ali one of my great
heroes had a great line in the 70s when
his seventy was asked how many sit-ups
do you do he said
I don’t know because I start counting
only when it’s that’s burning
you see that’s what makes you a champion
it doesn’t matter in what area in no
pain no gain may it drives me absolutely
nuts when people say I don’t have time
to look out what the hell are we talking
about here I mean today is 24 hours you
sleep 6 hours so you have 18 hours left
