“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

“People not giving you your props? Worry NOT!......Mediocrity will never congratulate excellence.”

-Dr. Murdock



I got this quote from Rev Run on twitter and it inspired me to write this blog.

                It appears to be a common trend when anyone begins to achieve a certain level of success that people are going to hate on you. One of the prime examples now is Tim Tebow. Love him or hate him the man knows how to inspire a team to win. However, now that he has achieved success everyone wants to bash him and talk smack. First everyone said he would never make it in the NFL, and then they said he would never win. Now that he has proved everyone wrong, they still want to bash him.  Why not except his excellence. Give him his props.  

                Why is everyone so quick to pick out our faults? They are so quick to tell you when you are wrong but say nothing when you are right. Is it because they are jealous that they don’t have the courage to do what you do? Is it something they see in you that they wish they had in themselves? Do you represent a part of them that they can’t tap into?  I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I can speak from personal experience.  The people I have been jealous of all had or have something that I wish I had. I have recognized this and have learned to except the feeling of jealousy and dismiss it. I find what it is that I don’t like in a person and most times it is a part of me that I see in them, that I either don’t want anymore or wish I had.  Drake said it best when he said, “Jealous is just love and hate at the same time.”.

                There is always going to be critics or those who say you can’t do something. They see limitations where you may see opportunity.  They may never give you the props you deserve.  All of this is none of you spiritual business. You must continue on your path and ignore the comments.  If it feels right,        DO  “IT”, whatever “IT” may be. They may never congratulate your excellence and that’s ok. You shouldn’t be doing,  “IT” for the recognition anyway. Do “IT” because “IT” is what you do.  Don’t ask for permission asks for forgiveness.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a  point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far  one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.".  The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same.  Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back.  THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you.  We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward.  You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort.  Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1.     Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt.  When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...
