Fitness, bodybuilding, anything, doesn't matter. The key is here. The key is your mind. Yeah. And we're much more powerful than we think. Our mind is the key. And what you put the focus on, you bringing it to your reality, you know, like magnets. I only thought about bodybuilding. I used to sleep and dream about workouts. You can say I had a good genetics for the sport, but maybe many guys had that. But no one was thinking about it like me. No one was focusing on like me. I was in Birmingham, sitting on the bus because I didn't have a car. Even when I was British champion, I had no money, I didn't have a car. I sit on the bus and read the magazines and read about bodybuilding in America and California and guys that were making a living from being professional bodybuilders by just going to the gym and training, which I love to do. Are you kidding me? You can make a living at doing that. And I just focused on this all the time. And throughout my life, whatever I focus on, it comes more to me.
