Seeds of a passion - I

It's not a surprise for anyone if I may say, having a Arnold like physique is 'the dream' of any boy from his younger days and I'm no exception to that. From my pre-school days I had a liking to a well build body and wanting to build one for myself one day. Surprisingly, this thought, this love, this memory was lying deep down inside me until i get into my mid 20's - like a fire that has been burning underneath, waiting to come out and unleash it's potential. It took a good 20 years for me to find what was burning inside me, so my friend, you are never late. Dig deep, go down inside your own soul, search for what you're looking for, unleash. Every boy every man wants that physique, that dream physique, that physique i am still in search of, not even close to getting there yet, all you need is to dream for it and work towards it. 'Cus no dream is achieved unless you don't work for it. Dreams are there within you, but it's up to you to decide if you're to keep it as a dream forever or work to achieve it, at least to give it a chance. 

This is the exact picture that was deposited in my memory, that drove myself to a gym after 20 plus years in search of that dream physique. Amazing, isn't it. I still remember those days like yesterday. There was this bakery in our town to which my father used to take me to get bread, twice or thrice a week probably. For the ones who are from my area, the name 'Prisca Bakers' may still ring a bell or two. Right at the entrance there was this huge wall which was painted from an Arnold photo. The wall was about 10 feet tall and no surprisingly, everyday that we go there I stayed outside staring at the wall, hardly blinking, until my father buys bread. A commando resting his gun on his shoulders and staring down at us, it was scary yet quite fascinating to a kid's mind, it got deposited in me.

This, I may say the first ever motivation to me, to work towards it. However, until I got into my mid 20's I never realized how big this has become inside me. So, we are never too late to achieve our childhood dreams, our goals.
