I choose to believe in human potential.
I prefer to think 999/1000 suck, and 1/1000 rocks not because the 1/1000 is special, but because the 999/1000 have chosen to suck.
I choose to believe that all have that potential, and due to various chosen weaknesses, vices, are not shining…by choice!
This outlook is one of vast potential.
The elite 1/1000 is the only one doing as well as a human as designed by God ought to.
Humanity as God intended is every Man being at the level where the earth bound 1/1000 shining amongst a sea of mediocrity is.
The potential is there, it’s in you, it’s in everyone!
Amazing is meant to be the norm.
You don’t have bad genetics, the potential is within you.
When someone on the internet writes about a feat they’ve done with no proof, doesn’t mean they haven’t done it.
For every pro athlete, there must be 5 or a half dozen others out there just as athletic, just not in the spotlight for whatever reason.
Powerlifting squat world records have been unofficially broken in weightlifting training halls, even on video in some cases.
You don’t think it’s possible someone unkown is out there and could have the record right now if only they would compete?
I’ve known a bodybuilder who benched 315 for nfl combine 225 rep test numbers.
I’ve trained with a former d1 linebacker during his second year away from football. He flat out said to me “how is it you didn’t even play high school football” as we ran sprints with me (50lbs heavier) breathing on his neck.
A former d1 rower told me I’d pay for only one year of college if I was to walk on.
I don’t view myself as having any super secret terminator special genetics. The ability is within everyone.
Choose to believe in vast human potential. You’ll go farther.
