Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!

Teamwork is an amazing concept. It brings ideas into fruition, sharpens minds like iron, and grows into excellence. At any job you may work, or craft you may pick up, there will be a team that you are apart of. Depending on the career/profession you take up, the teammates will vary. As apart of a team you must learn to trust your wings.

Teamwork endows each member a magical power, one that works amazingly with that of another teammate. As a team you improve one another, learn from one another, and have faith in the ability of one another. You bounce ideas and stir the creative juices.

Teamwork turns the conglomerate into a band of masons. Builders. With teamwork, a group becomes so focused with a multiplied momentum towards their vision. Sometimes I may not have the answer or may have a small problem with an obstacle. I can always count on Marcus, Mo or Brandon to consistently offer an effective solution and that works vice versa within our team.

Trust your Team. Once you've made the decision to start a journey with a team, you must commit to be successful as a team. Having trust also means being diligent with your team by means of communication and being open minded. Utilize everyone and things will come together excellent. There's much more I can say on teamwork but I will leave this here. More articles to come, Peace.

Most People Won't Be Successful

#MarcusMotivation

I talk about how everyone is going to be successful, but I've come to the conclusion that not everyone will be. It is not a shot taken at anyone, it is simply the fact that not everyone will put in the 3 simple things that are required to be successful. Faith, Consistency, and Hard Work. I challenge those who want to be successful to put those 3 actions into your goals. Do you REALLY want to be successful? Some of you don't. But some of you do, some apply the faith, consistency, and hard work then you will have success.

How to lift with Power!

Everyone is always looking for that edge to improve their performance whether its physically or mentally. Here's a step by step performance enhancer that you won't see on any commercial....yet. 

Mind.

Breathe.

Muscle.

Spirit.

So the order of the performance enhancing method begins with the Mind. Using the mind to lift is a key concept in developing your power and awakening the sleeping giant inside. How do you use the mind? For example, when doing dumbbell bench press, use the mind to focus on both dumbbells. Completely relax the body and mind before lifting the dumbbells up. You're ready. Use your mind to focus and lift the dumbbells. From here, tell yourself to "Lower" and "Lift" (Up and Down) the dumbbells within your mind.

The next in order is Breathe.

As you're lifting, incorporate your breathing while staying relaxed and focused with the weight being held. Keep the breathing nice and light and refrain from inhaling heavily, especially right before lifting the weight up again. Next, is to incorporate muscle strength.

So, as you're controlling the dumbbells with the mind, breathing nice and easy, you want to start to incorporate strength from the muscles. In this case it would be mostly chest and triceps. You'll notice the difference in power if you take this step by step in your sets.

Rise. The last of the step by step performance enhancer is to INCORPORATE THE SPIRIT. We all do it naturally when we begin to tire from a workout so this should be quite easy to perform. The spirit is letting that beast out for some people, and the spirit is scripture or mantras for others; And for many it simply comes in the form of enhanced energy. Everything is energy. Your thought begins it. Your emotions amplify it and your actions increases its momentum. All SPIRIT can be enhanced and developed when use is Practiced. 

As you continue through your sets, knocking your reps off like light work, you must learn to bring all of these together masterfully. You will get good with more effort. Remember it all starts with the mind and then everything flows into play. 

For those final heavier reps, stay relaxed and put this method into action! This technique is excellent when building mass and being bad ass how you handle the workouts full of super sets. You got it, just Glo Up!

Anything you PRACTICE you'll get good at

There's this belief that people's talents are God given, from birth. "Oh that girl was born to be a dancer, she has dope rhythm. I can't be a dancer. I don't have the rhythm like she does." Well to bust ya bubble, you are very much capable of anything you put your mind to. Anything you practice, you'll get good at!

Anything you practice that you're already good at, you'll become great at it. The more time you dedicate to your talents and abilities, the better you'll become. In the words of Malcolm Gladwell, you will become an outlier, a person who is different from the rest of the normal and average.

There will be competition in many things you do, some areas will be more competitive than others. Use that competition to find the best in you and sharpen your skill. Everyday, when you practice you must tell yourself and confirm that you are getting better every single day. Your practice is not wasted time. Some people are deserving of their accomplishments and may reach their goals before you. 

All you must do is keep getting and being better than you were the day before and you'll begin to genuinely believe you are deserving too!

In 2017, be about that action. Too many times we make resolutions that we do for a month and quit. Are you really about being successful? Are you going to keep your resolution and not punk out? Don't be average and quit like the rest. Be great and maintain that resolution.
