Today marks the first FitJerk Friday. Number 1. Numero uno. For those of you that have been MIA, here’s a little low down of what FitJerk Friday’s is all about:

Every Friday I get together with Wendy and we throw up a post where I do what I’m best at (give you a kick-in-the-ass pep talk) and she does what she’s best at (create taste bud exploding recipes) and you get to be the beneficiary of this awesome sauce of collaboration. An excerpt of my pep talk for this week is displayed below, but to get the whole thing along with the recipe, make sure you head on over here: thelocalcook.com

Realize & Maximize Your Potential!

Getting the ball rolling on anything new is quite the bitch as most of you will know, specially if you’re a fellow blogger. So for the first FitJerk Friday, I was actually stumped. “What the hell should I start with?”

Eventually, I settled on the concept of potential. Your potential specifically. What you are capable of achieving in your lifetime is so staggering, it might cause your brain to implode if you truly realized it. Potential is always there but most people can never harness it… but today we will change all of that.

I mean it’s easy to look at Jenny-the-sales-manager’s cute apartment, her mini cooper that she uses to buzz around town in, her loving boyfriend, her closet full of fancy clothes… and say “Jenny has lived up to her potential and made a great life for herself”

But what the outsider looking in doesn’t know is that Jenny (just like any other person on this planet) has the potential to start multi-million dollar business, get a harem of men begging for her attention all the while having so much attractive value that she becomes the center of focus into any room that she walks into.

THAT is potential. But most don’t know it exists because we can’t actively see it. The really fucked up part is that your potential is only limited by your imagination. If you think you can become a billionaire, and truly believe it, then you have the potential to be a fucking billionaire, end of story.

If you believe that you can have a Hollywood body in the next 6 months, then you have the potential to have a Hollywood body, it’s just that simple. But unfortunately, simplicity is often ignored… and that is when you end up with lame circumstances in your life. It’s a shit feeling.

Another example: Do you know that stupid “glass ceiling” analogy that people keep talking about? Yeah well guess what, it was their doing! They unconsciously capped their own potential by putting that glass ceiling over their own fucking heads, then blamed it on something external. What they didn’t realize is that they were in control the whole time. Messed up isn’t it?

So from this point on, you need to start believing that you can do more and achieve more. I wasn’t born with a 6pack, I mean seriously. I had problems just like you, but then I also had a vision, I single-handedly decided what my own potential ought to be… and then followed through by taking action.

What are you potentially capable of?
