The phrase "either you have it or you don't" is utter horse fecal excrement.
Either you "earn it or you don't" should be what we teach our children. Too many people today want things but don't earn them.
If you want respect, earn it. You do not "have" respect without giving and earning it yourself. You want to be rich? You better earn it. Strong? Important? Famous? Powerful? You must earn these things.
Some of you are so desperately wanting something. Myself included some times. We forget that we must EARN IT! If you want it badly enough you will find a way to earn it.
Stop expecting hand outs, stop expecting it to just happen, get in there and earn it. At then end of the day you should ask your self "Have I earned it? Or Have I not earned it?" If there is any doubt, remove it and make sure you earn it.

Three People.
In my opinion I believe that are largely three types of people.
A. Hole
Jack A.
Mr Dumass
Let me explain using nutrition as an example.
Mr Dumass goes to Mc Donalds to grab a quick lunch, he orders the McRib because well, it's been advertised so much he's been craving it. They are offering a 2nd McRib for a dollar. It's a dollar for an extra sandwhich, it's a no brainer to him. He'll eat it later.
By the time he gets back to the office, he's out of fries and half way through the first sandwhich, deciding it's so small he'll just eat another ( good thing he got that 2nd one for a dollar ). Completely oblivious to how many calories he just consumed. Neatly washed down with an extra large Coca Cola ( unless he lives in New York City ).
Jack A. goes to Mc Donalds, knows a double quarter pounder with cheese and a large fry is way too many calories for him to eat at lunch, he also knows about pink slime. Yet against conventional wisdom and everything he knows, he eats it all. With a McFlurry, because if you're going to have a heart attack, at least do it with a smile on your face.
Even knowing it was wrong, he still ate it.
Now A. Hole is such an upstanding guy, he knows exactly what every item on the menu is worth nutritionally. While going out with people from the office for lunch he goes with them and orders two side salads with no dressing and gets water.
At the table with his co-workers he pops out a few ziploc baggies; fish oil, leucine, and peeled boiled eggs. To the shock and query of his co-workers he swallows powder from a bag, swallows 4 large flameout capsules and slices eggs across his salad.
A. Hole makes no fuss over what he's doing, he simply does it and eats.
Are you starting to feel me yet? How about a training example.
Mr Dumass goes to the gym with purple every where and a judgement free zone that only applies to non-lunks. he pays his 10$ a month membership and hits the express workout zone because he doesn't have much time. On his way out, he grabs a bagel, it's bagel Tuesday, or something.
Jack A. goes into his gym, sets the bench right at 315, knowing on any good day he can't lower 315 to his chest controlled and push it back up away from him, yet he does it any way, because today will be the day he does it.
He fails and does the roll of shame, then barks as if he should of had it. It's all him.
Our guy A. Hole ditches dinner with co-workers so he can go get his squats in for the week. He walks into the gym with headphones on with not a single nod, wave or "sup girl" to a single person.
A. Hole starts lifting and ends up hitting a personal record of 625 on the squat while this Dumass guy does reverse barbell curls behind him talking about the rack position and knees hurting from squats.
Are we on the same page now? I hope so. No one wants to be a dumbass, jackass or asshole. However sometimes we are. Knowing this what do you do?
Me? Personally, I run with it. I'd rather be the asshole to everyone than a dumbass or even worse the Jackass that knows better but does it anyhow.
There's nothing with with being Mr Dumass now and then or even being Jack A. However the problem is when you continue to keep yourself tied to the same thing over and over.
To quote the good Dr Serrano "When you continue to do the same thing over and over and over you will fail".
So try to be different, put yourself out there, don't be afraid to be Mr Dumass, just don't be him every single day, educate yourself, get better, progress, no matter what it is.
