Today on October 31st, 2009, I have reached a state of mind where I’ve said NO MORE! to not fulfilling my physical body goal of building what I’ve termed my stacked physique…

Background

I’ve always been into the concepts of health & fitness, and even the culture of bodybuilding, however, I’ve never stayed very consistent in building my desired physique throughout my life. I always put other public achievement priorities ahead of this and never got super serious with executing on this physique goal long-term. I’ve been lifting weights and have had several gym memberships on a semi-frequent basis for over a decade but am nowhere near my target physique that I’ve desired almost all my life. This is my own doing through my own laziness & lack of diligence. I’m fed up with that and am using this present motivation to install even more accountability & motivation into my life right now with this very blog post.

I like associating nice solid numbers & dates with goals of mine, just to give them an extra push of meaning & psychological momentum. So, here, right now, on Halloween 2009, I am making a firm commitment to seriously developing my stacked physique by my birthday in 2010 or else I will have to face a public consequence…

My Commitment

Between today, October 31st, 2009, and my next birthday, July 30th, 2010, I will seriously develop my stacked physique or else I will publicly post embarrassing photos of my current physique here on brianwatkins.com for the entire world to see.

I have taken the half-naked embarrassing photos today, which I will have to publish to the world on July 30th, 2010, if I don’t hit this goal.

Now, if I don’t have exactly what I would call my target stacked physique by my next birthday, then I will not automatically call that a failure and have to face the consequence, since this goal is more about my consistent productivity on building my stacked physique than it is about achieving the ideal end result in that timeframe. Since I am a brutally honest type person, you can trust that I will actually judge my effort accurately and post the embarrassing pictures if I didn’t meet this standard.

I have never been consistent in working out for more than about 2 month’s time, so it will be a solid challenge to be consistent over a 9 month span of time. I have multiple ventures & projects in operation and development too, which makes this even more challenging for me.

So I welcome and encourage all productive accountability, motivation, inspiration, encouragement, or teasing that you would like to provide me throughout the next 9 months in order to help fuel my progress even more, to once and for all seriously develop my stacked physique that I’ve desired my entire life!

I will be publishing a lot of interactive multimedia content throughout 2010 here on brianwatkins.com and Open Achievement, so you will get a lot of opportunity to consistently engage me about this if you continue to check in with me. You can also stay connected with me through this via my social profiles or by subscribing to content. Also, to add some extra momentum behind this, I am going to be sending this post out to as many people as I can think of in my personal network.

Personal Meaning

Now, for those of you interested, let me go into describing the personal meaning this has to me beyond a general surface level fitness goal…

I’m a big believer in defining & developing a truly unique and authentic identity of who you are as a human being. I believe that too many people today and throughout history have consciously or sub-consciously worked to fit in with the mainstream of their society and the norm of their peer group. I never bought into this mindset and have always maintained a very strong sense of unique personal identity and vision. I’ve often gone against many typical norms in order follow what I believe is right and be the person I know I am meant to be. This is a huge part of what developing my stacked physique is all about.

I can be very confident and happy without my stacked physique, but I probably wouldn’t ever feel like the outside of my body reflects my internal mindset & identity. You see, for me, having a muscle-bound body is not just superficial confidence boost or a way to pickup more hot chicks. Rather, it is who I feel that I truly am and a natural expression of my core sense of self. I’ve always known this too. Even as a small child, I felt a distinct personal connection to the thought of having a bodybuilder’s physique. It probably really helped that members of my family were into bodybuilding throughout my youth, even competitive bodybuilding.

I have an edgy, raw, rebel, and rugged internal identity and personality, so my stacked physique is a natural fit and it is long overdue for me. Most people simply want to look good and fit, through a well developed physique. For me, it goes way beyond this, as there is no other way to physically be that feels in alignment with the essence of me.

So, I expect the typical boost of energy, confidence, and overall happiness when I achieve my stacked physique. However, because I will be aligning myself with an important part of my true identity, I expect that an even bigger explosion of these positive effects will happen, which will ripple out to other areas of my life, goals, and mission.

I am at a very key stage of my life filled with outrageous opportunity and could really leverage the big psychological shot in the arm that I believe finally achieving my stacked physique would provide me. With this, I could probably noticeably accelerate my key ventures & projects and more rapidly build my capacity to directly execute on my humanitarian mission to change the world for the good of humanity.

This truly is the potential power contained within this one simple goal to achieve my stacked physique, and I fully intend to achieve it. The clock starts NOW!
