...Don't aspire to an immortal life. But seek to exhaust the limits of the possible!... Pindar

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I was a bricklayer.

It was how I paid the bills when I first moved to America. Even the biggest title in bodybuilding, Mr. Olympia, only paid a thousand dollars back then. 

It makes me proud that in March, the winner of our Arnold Classic and our Arnold Classic UK took home more than a million dollars. He can focus on bodybuilding.

But in our day, that wasn’t an option. Some guys were teachers. Some sold insurance. Franco and I laid bricks.
We put an ad in the paper and sold ourselves as European craftsmen. We figured if people heard the accents, they would picture old-world masonry instead of two bodybuilders with a wheelbarrow. 

It worked. 

The phone rang. And then we had to go out and actually do the job, which was the part nobody could fake. Luckily, Franco knew what he was doing.

The work was simple. Mix the mortar. Set the brick. Tap it level. Scrape the edge. Then do it again. And again. Nobody claps for you. There is no crowd, no music, no trophy. There is just the next brick sitting there waiting for you.

You can still find some of the walls we built in Venice.
That’s where my lesson today comes from.

One brick doesn’t look like anything. Ten bricks don’t look like anything. A hundred bricks, you’re starting to see something, but it doesn’t impress anyone.

You just keep laying bricks until the job is done.

And you know what happens after four or five hours on a wall?

You are so damn tired, or you feel so great that you stop measuring.

You are not standing back every ten minutes asking how far from finished it is. You are covered in mortar, your hands are raw, you’re schvitzing, and you are happy. The work took the question away from you.

That is the part nobody tells you about hard work: It doesn’t just build the wall. It terminates the voice that keeps asking when the wall will be done.

What started as a celebration for Jamaica’s 60th Independence has grown into what is now known as the “Country Grand Gala”, a spectacular Independence boat parade from South St. Elizabeth. 🇯🇲

Happy Independence Day Jamaica!

I turn 79 today. 

I don’t want any gifts. Instead, my team and I decided to revolutionize the fitness industry — and we’re doing something crazy to celebrate.

Here it is: https://t.co/qL6ECpWWYH

Between today and Sunday, August 9, when you join the Pump Club app and complete four workout programs in your first year, you pay nothing. 

Zero. Nada. Zilch. 

No fine print. If you show up and do the work, your first year is free. The payments are automatically sent back to your card. 

If that feels shocking, then let me say it even more plainly. 

Sign up for the app through that link. Try it free for 7 days. After your trial, pay $100 for your first year. Complete four workout programs. Get $100 back automatically: $50 after your first, and $50 after your fourth.

Have you ever met someone who seemed charming, persuasive, and trustworthy—only to discover later that they were manipulative, deceitful, or even dangerous? Understanding how social predators think & act is your best defense. https://t.co/qsnWBS7tMA

“My idea of heaven has always been to live by the sea…” That’s what my father used to say and he was right. 🌊

The ocean holds some of my favourite memories with family and friends, and the more connected we are to these beautiful waters, the more invested we'll be in protecting them for future generations. #WorldOceansDay @fowlcayresort

Here’s a story I don’t tell often…
My grandfather was the first in our family to fall in love with Turks. My dad turned that love into @BeachesResorts Turks & Caicos. Thirty years later, we’ve built it into the most successful family resort in this hemisphere.

Treasure Beach Village is the newest part of that story and I can’t wait for more families to experience it during the Beaches Resorts takeover this weekend. Stay tuned to my IG stories to see all the festivities!
