    What does everyone think about this Article on dedication?

    Hey. What do you all think about this article on dedication i wrote a little while back, its aimed towards bodybuilding

    "Dedication
    Dedication is something that must be attained and mastered at a superior level. A true champion must apply there dedication through a variety of elements, and push through there own plateau of dedication. My Whole life is a quest to be dedicated to improving my own dedication everyday to my current amount of dedication. When true dedication is reached nothing can stop you, nothing can even touch you physically or mentally. Dedication is all about sacrifices. Every sacrifice I make just makes it that much more important in my life. I've given up a lot of my friends, a social life, and anything else that would describe another 17 year-old; however, each time I say no to an invitation to go to a party I find another level of my love to becoming a dedicated bodybuilder.
    Sacrifice is measured in many aspects. In order to break a plateau, you must sacrifice, in order to become something, you must sacrifice, in order to love, you must sacrifice.
    There is line that crosses through 2 different kinds of people. These two different kinds of people are the dedicated, and the rest of the world. In order to make your self a dedicated person you must apply your whole train of thought to your objective. For some people becoming dedicated can be very hard and non rewarding, but for some people it can be as simple as a sound or a sight. Anything can change a persons dedication, But when true dedication is reached, like I said nothing can stop them, they even use the negative energy as a positive. In many cases of my life I have had disappointments, but I always figure a way out and use it to my advantage. Everything happens for a reason, so I have accepted that, so when something bad happens I automatically think of an alternative and a way to make something good out of it, or make the best out of it. Dedication has no levels, being dedicated does not mean taking a vitamin every day, Dedication is something that is powered by love and only love.

    Dedication can begin early in life or later in life, but It must always begin with a restarted state of mind. With a restarted state of mind you can accept anything and challenge the unchallengable. To began your quest to become dedicated first you must apply goals.
    Then when your goals are realized you must adapt to the sacrifices and intensity these goals require. Goals are not something that you do in your spare time to occupy your self, your goals are your life. Everything else must fall down the chain of importance and your goals must be implanted in your integrity to maximize your potential. You must think of it as your life is a obstacle to reaching your goals. When your at work/school you must block out everything and preserve your mental energy to tackle your goals after work/school. For example, If there is someone you love, you will try any thing and everything to show that person you love, even if it means changing your whole self to suit there needs. Same as if a goal you want to obtain, but something is stopping you like school/work, you must tackle and solve the obstacle to obtain your goals. Love is what will drive you to reaching your goals. How I said before, when true dedication is reached nothing can stop you. You will be able to solve and tackle anything, cause nothing is stronger then love, and dedication is PURE love. "

    Hey man,

    Mate, first thing I want to say is this: you obviously dedicated to have such a toned body

    Would you be able to tell me what sort of weights you are lifting and how much so I can compare. I am also 17, but am already a pretty big fella (6 foot 2, 106 kilos/235 pounds) so it is hard to find other guys my age to compare myself against.

    I don't know how things work with university over in Canada, but I started university over here 3 months after my 17th birthday. I had to make a choice, pursue just my sport ambitions (I was in the state's junior rugby union team when I was 16, so playing guys 2 years older than me was something I was proud of) or try and manage both uni and sport.

    Everyone I spoke to said that sport had so much luck involved, with injuries and all that, that it was not always the most talented or dedicated that succeded. Plus, it was useful to have some sort of academic background to fall onto when I was past my sporting peak. Thinking it through, I think this idea is correct. Sure, I don't enjoy uni as much as my sport, but in 20 years time, who is going to care how good I used to be at rugby when I am applying for an office job.

    I am still dedicated to my sport, but I don't think work/school can be viewed as an obstacle, as you said it is, if in the long run it will help you out where sport never could. I am not saying that you should stop weights or anything like that, just don't always look in the short term. You obviously have a lot of talent, so it would be a shame to waste it, just don't think weights is the be all and end all.

    Cheers.

    I think its good!

    But although being dedicated to something is a great thing, you should also stop along the way to smell the roses.

    Don't miss out on the things in life that will never happen again, especially in youth because you will regret it later in life.
    Cool

    good post!!

    I think dedication is an important thing for life in general. The degree of comitment it takes to hit the weights week after week should also flow over to other things in you life. Family, friends, work or school, these are all important also. As you get a little bit older you take on more resposibilites, and learning to balance all of these has been my goal the past year.

    I agree with scotty and coleman there have to be other things in your life besides weights. If you focus on one thing to much you might get burt out at an early age, that is just my oppinion though.
