			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://corteseperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/set-your-goal-and-take-action.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-999" title="set-your-goal-and-take-action" src="http://corteseperformance.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/set-your-goal-and-take-action-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Are you unhappy with the way things are going? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Work sucks.. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your grades are suffering.. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your body and mind feel like garbage every day&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You&#8217;re just downright UNHAPPY&#8230; </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Well, you know what? I saw this quote the other day and it really rang true to me. It should to you as well. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>&#8220;If you&#8217;re going through hell, keep going!&#8221; </em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Look, we all have stuff that sometimes does NOT go the way we planned. BUT, we all have a choice. Every single choice you make determines what happens in your life. You know that right? But people fail to realize that by dwelling on the negative stuff in their life, whining about the economy, complaining that their &#8220;life sucks&#8221; or &#8220;FML&#8221; (I hate that!!), or they just &#8220;can&#8217;t get a job&#8221;.. That&#8217;s exactly what you will get! You attract what you think about and talk about. Constantly negative and pessimistic? That&#8217;s what your life will be like. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">IT&#8217;S ALL ABOUT MINDSET. I am by no means a motivational speaker, but really&#8230; If YOU ARE UNHAPPY, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT. everyone has a choice. What happens to you is purely determined by YOU and your CHOICES you make. Not the economy; not their girlfriend; not school. It&#8217;s all on  YOU. Workout sucks? Look at your lifestyle habits&#8230; Poor sleep? Drink beer every night? Eating fast food every day? These choices you make determine the outcome or final result. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Gotta know EXACTLY what you want, then go after it and never ever give up until you get it.It may take some courage to take action, but I can tell you from personal experience that by setting goals and taking action, you will feel like you have a huge weight lifted off your chest. Do NOT dwell on thoughts. Do NOT be wishy-washy. Don&#8217;t be that guy that looks back and says &#8220;I should have&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;I could have&#8221;&#8230; or &#8220;What if&#8221; . NO REGRETS. Make a mistake? SO WHAT. You learn by making mistakes, big deal. The most successful people in history took action, failed, learned from their mistakes, and just keep going!<br />
</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000000;">Now the question I ask of you&#8230; <strong>What are you willing to do to make your life better? </strong><br />
</span></p>

<p><em>**Guest Post from Jason Ferruggia author of <a href="http://jcortese.ferruggia.hop.clickbank.net">Muscle Gaining Secrets</a> and owner of Renegade Strength and Conditioning; Enjoy.**</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Change Your Mindset and You Will Build Muscle Fast</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> By Jason Ferruggia</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Let’s be honest. Everybody wants to improve the way they look. I don’t know of too many people that don’t want to build muscle fast or lose more fat in a hurry. It’s just human nature. You want to appeal to the opposite sex and command respect from you peers. Personally, I am obsessed with performance gains and train for strength and function first and foremost, but even I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to look better. We all do.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">But wanting and doing are two entirely different things. Everyone wants to dramatically transform their physiques and make mind blowing gains, but how many people actually do? How many people do you know that build muscle fast and get absolutely jacked in the course of even a one year period? Very few. And do you know why? Because they don’t have the right mindset. Change your mindset and you will change your body. With the right mindset you can make gains in as little as 12 weeks that other guys don’t even make in 12 years!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">People who have made unbelievable physical transformations first accepted the fact that it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park and they were willing to work for it and do whatever it took. That’s not to say that it takes an incredible amount of time. You don’t have to spend every waking hour in the gym. You can progress incredibly well in just a few short hours per week. But if you don’t possess the proper mindset and the determination to do whatever it takes during those three or four weekly hours of training you will never get anywhere.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We all have commitments and time restraints that prevent us from working out as much as we would like to. But lack of time never was and never will be an acceptable excuse. If you search hard enough and cut out the wasted hours of TV time and other useless nonsense, you will find that we all have two or three hours per week to dedicate to our health and to transforming our bodies. After all, what is more important in life than your health and your body? Very little if you ask me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Guys like Arthur Saxon, Dorian Yates, Arnold, Bill Pearl, George Hackenshmidt and Ed Coan all had the never-say-die, take-no-prisoners attitude that is an absolute prerequisite of massive physical transformation. Bill Pearl found that he was so busy that he had to rise at 4am every day just to get his workouts in. But that’s what it took, so he did it happily.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It doesn’t require fancy machinery and a high tech gym, it doesn’t take a lot of time each week, it doesn’t take any over hyped, over priced supplements; but it does take hard work, dedication and a burning desire to be the best. If you think you are going to loaf through your workouts and make head turning changes to your physique you are simply lying to yourself.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Will be this be the day when you finally make the mindset change necessary to achieve greatness or will you just keep putting it off ‘til tomorrow?</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For a simple to follow, step by step plan that will motivate you beyond your wildest dreams and finally help you build muscle fast and get in the best shape of your life, while spending less than three hours per week in the gym, check out <a href="http://jcortese.ferruggia.hop.clickbank.net">http://www.MuscleGainingSecrets.com/</a> now.</span></p>
