The 50th Law
I have been reading a lot of books lately. My latest good read is from none other than 50 Cent. "The 50th Law" discusses in a modern, urban fashion on how to obtain power and success. It’s an EXCELLENT book! I wanted to share an excerpt from my favorite chapter, “Respect the Process”. This chapter connected with me more than any other. This is for anyone that wants to master any skill.
“Today, however, we have reached a dangerous point in which this elemental wisdom is being forgotten. Much of this is due to the destructive side of technology. We all understand its immense benefits and the power it has brought us. But with the intense speed and ease with which we can get what we want, a new pattern of thinking has evolved. We are by nature creatures of impatience. It has always been hard for us to want something and not have the capacity to get it. The increased speed from technology accentuates this childish aspect of our character. The slow accumulation of knowledge seems unnecessarily boring. Learning should be fun, fast, and easy. On the Internet we can make instant connections, skimming along the surface from one subject to the next. We come to value breadth of knowledge over depth, the power to move here or there rather than digging deeper to the source of a problem and finding out how things tick.
We lose a sense of process. In such an atmosphere, charlatans sprout like weeds. They offer the age-old myth of the quick transformation—the shortcut to power, beauty, and success—in the form of books, CDs, seminars, ancient “secrets” brought back to life. And they find many suckers on which to prey.
This new pattern of thinking and learning is not progress. It creates a phenomenon that we shall call the “short-circuit.” To reach the end of anything, to master a process, requires time, focus, and energy. When people are so distracted, their minds constantly moving from one thing to another, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain concentration on one thing for a few hours, let alone for months and years. Under this influence, the mind will tend to short-circuit; it will not be able to go all the way to the end of a task. It will want to move on to something else that seems more enticing. It becomes hard to make things well when the focus is broken—which is why we find a gradual increase in products that are shoddy, made with less and less attention to detail.
Understand: the real secret, the real formula for power in this world, lies in accepting the ugly reality that learning requires a process, and this in turn demands patience and the ability to endure drudge work. It is not sexy or seductive at first glance, but this truth is based on something real and substantial—an age-old wisdom that will never be overturned. The key is the level of your desire. If you are really after power and mastery, then you will absorb this idea deeply and engrave it in your mind: there are no shortcuts. You will distrust anything that is fast and easy. You will be able to endure the initial months of dull, repetitive labor, because you have an overall goal. This will prevent you from short-circuiting, knowing many things but mastering none of them. In the end, what you really will be doing is mastering yourself—your impatience, your fear of boredom and empty time, your need for constant fun and amusement.”
There’s so much more in this chapter to drive this point home, but I thought I’d just give you a taste.

In high school, I was diagnosed with clinical depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In addition to the constant anxiety that came with OCD, I couldn't shake this feeling that I was a hopeless waste of space. I isolated myself as if to fulfill the heart-breaking truth that lived inside of me: I would always be alone. When I was 17, I was hospitalized for trying to take my own life. When I got out of the hospital, I committed to trying. I committed to never going back. I started taking action. One of those actions included going to the gym... because, it was always there for me. It also made me feel a self confidence of continuously improving the one thing I will have the rest of my life, my body. My personal struggles helped shape the trainer I am today and I'm grateful for every lesson learned. It's taken years of trial and error, education and determination to develop my fitness and nutritional programs and they are always evolving. Changing your life takes support, practice, preparation and commitment. Now being a certified personal trainer , I’ve not only mastered getting and staying in shape, I’ve made it my passion and purpose to help people just like you do the same.
