THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAN & IRON IS THE ULTIMATE METAPHOR FOR LIFE. THE IRON DOESN'T CARE HOW BUSY YOU ARE OR HOW MUCH SLEEP YOU GOT. IT OFFERS NO REFUGE TO YOUR EXCUSES OR YOUR SELF-PITY. YOU ONLY GET WHAT YOU EARN... 315LBS IS ALWAYS 315LBS. JUST LIKE LIFE'S BURDENS, SOME DAYS THE WEIGHT IS GONNA FEEL HEAVIER THAN OTHERS. YOU STILL HAVE TO SHOW UP. YOU STILL HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK. BECAUSE ANYTHING TRULY WORTHWHILE IN LIFE REQUIRES HARD WORK & SACRIFICE. NO SHORTCUTS. NO HANDOUTS. NO ENTITLEMENTS. PEOPLE CAN MAKE EXCUSES ALL DAY LONG ABOUT WHY THEY AREN'T SUCCESSFUL, BUT LET'S SPEAK A HARD TRUTH: AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE ONLY ONE STOPPING YOU IS YOU. SO, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?
