“I don’t get it! I did 5 sets of 5 with 300, so I’m SUPPOSED TO be able to lift 400lbs.”
“I’ve only eaten 3000 calories this week, so WHY haven’t I lost weight?”
“I don’t smoke, drink, or do drugs. I SHOULD be healthy.”
“I haven’t had a day off in months. I DESERVE a vacation.”
“I’ve trained hard for the past three weeks. I’ve EARNED this pie.”
In training and in life, we often confuse performance and outcome, process and product. We fail to separate them. We feel that if we do “A”, we can expect “B”. When the performance does not lead to the desired outcome, we feel cheated. To make matters worse, not only do we expect specific outcomes as a result of our efforts, but we often rationalize completely unrelated and questionable choices based on our diligence. We believe that we are entitled to rewards when we have demonstrated disciplined behavior.
The harsh reality is that, despite our very best efforts, despite superior process, we cannot EXPECT successful outcomes and products.”
Such a great blog post titled “Entitlement” by Boris of Squat Rx.
