No Excuses: My Philosophy for Real Strength

People talk about showing off. I do it on my own dime, with my own hard-earned money. I don't burn my father's cash.

I have to answer those who told my father his son would never amount to anything. Every rep is a response. Sab ka hisaab hoga lala.

It takes hard work to build an identity. Filters can clean your face, but not your character. I believe in building real strength, inside and out.

I won't do a show of false humility. I've earned my strength through my own hard work, not by selling my family's land.

My guru says that birds that fly high don't get attached to small trees. To reach great heights, you have to let go of small things.

If you walk the path of dharma, you will achieve a victory that brings peace in this life and the next. It may take time, but it is the only way.

My elders say your identity must be your own. You can get salutes with someone else's name, but you can't make your own name.

There is no magic protein or gainer that will make you a hero overnight. It takes years of hard work and good, clean, home-cooked food. That is the only secret.

There is no task you cannot do yourself. You don't need anyone's help. If God wanted everyone to be the same, he wouldn't have made so many different people.
