‘The Hunger Games’

Imagine your dreams and goals as a 'lifetime league competition' not only with your peers across the whole world but ultimately with yourself. It is an accumulation of games that you will play throughout seasons. Some seasons will go well others will not, in the end you will both win and become triumphant at the top of your profession or you will be relegated to a new division, a place where you will be ordinary! (IF THAT’S YOUR GOAL, STOP READING NOW!)

Each game that you will play has to be treated as if it were the last, blood sweat and tears has to ooze from it, every fibre in your body has to feel the mental and physical pain that needs to be endured in order to reach the last seconds where you can lay down ‘temporarily’ victorious in your achievements.

Any successful man or woman will tell you that the most important time during these lifetime games is what you do within pre-season. It is the work and effort you put in whilst your competition are resting that will set you apart. Whether you are in a business environment where are the first and last one in the office or you are an athlete and the first and last one on the training field, you have to take the training home; what you do off the stage is what gives you that extra inch over your opponent.

It is a battle to the ‘death’ and that’s simply how you must view it; either you WIN or LOOSE.

OKAY…… OKAY I lied, there is a middle ground and that is being in ‘limbo’, it is probably the worst place to be. You simply become inert, you find yourself coasting with no sense of direction and purpose eventually becoming a slave to society on a huge conveyor belt heading for the end of the line.

The hunger games is a phrase that you need to instil in your mind-set TODAY and just the like the film you have to treat your goals as a fight to the death, lets be honest there are hundreds, thousand and even millions of others with the same dreams and aspirations. Simple logic will dictate that not everyone can become a champion there has to be some losers….ARE YOU A LOSER?

Well then, I suggest you continue your training RIGHT NOW, if your in pre season then do everything you can to prepare yourself for the new season; its coming and the way that world has been changing and shaping up its going to be the toughest season yet; YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, ADAPT NOW!!

Vince Lombardi said “I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfilment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.”

Prepare this week for battle – lets go!
