Just a collection of my thoughts

Some things just take time

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Do the obvious thing for an extraordinary period of time without convincing yourself you’re smarter than you are.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

If you had to explain your life’s struggles to a stranger, you’d be embarrassed to admit those are the greatest challenges you face.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

You might not have an opportunity yet. But when you get one, you better be prepared for it.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

I believe it’s an obligation to show your wins.

It’s hard to find good examples to follow in todays world, might as well become the example for someone else.

Being humble is a bullshit excuse to stay silent and minimize your own accomplishments.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

If you just confront the work that needs done, you’d feel 100000x better in your own mind than you do right now.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

We vote with our dollars and our time towards the things we care most about.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

If you don’t look like you go to the gym, you don’t have to worry about overtraining.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Just because you don’t have any bad habits doesn’t mean that you have good habits.

Productivity isn’t the absence of counterproductive behavior.

It’s actually doing the things that move you forward.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

There are no shortcuts for you.

Maybe someone else gets to use them, but they aren’t for you.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

My whole goal for life is to be able to lay on my death bed, knowing that I am the man I was supposed to become.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

If you raise your minimum standard for what it means to not be a piece of shit, you’ll achieve more.

If I’m over 10% body fat, or I only workout 5 days a week, or I eat a couple hundred extra calories, I feel like a piece of shit.

Those are minimum standards.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Be willing to play injured-

In the Super Bowl, no athlete sits out bc of injury.

But like the Super Bowl, you’ll never get this day of your life back.

So just start with whatever you have.

Of course you have disadvantages, but so does everyone else. Just get in the game.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

If you get your fitness and nutrition right, almost everything else in life will start falling into place.

It’s the one thing that makes everything else better.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Being strong is great, but in real life I’ve rarely been limited by strength when I want to do something.

But I have been limited very often by:
Mobility, endurance, quickness, balance, and stability.

I believe they’re all important and we should train all of these abilities

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

How many people have you thought about today besides yourself?

My guess is that it’s close to 0.

Which is why you shouldn’t care what other people think about you…because they were never thinking about you to begin with.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Consistency beats intensity every time, which is why patience is the best strategy…because nobody else wants to copy it.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

I don’t know much, but I do know this-

Hard work and discipline will cure 99% of the problems you think you have in life.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

Your back would hurt less if you had a big deadlift.

[Wes Jameson @dubj1326]

I have a contrarian view on lifting technique:

It doesn’t actually matter that much (if you’re not a competition athlete).

A lot of times, better technique is just a bandaid for a glaring weakness that you don’t want to address.
