‘Free your mind and your body will follow.’
‘Free your mind and your body will follow.’
By Kai Greene
One of my favorite sayings is, “Free your mind and your body will follow.” The mind is everything. If you don’t believe you can do something, then you can’t. If you believe that your upbringing was substandard, and therefore you have to walk around as a refugee from that crisis situation for the rest of your life, forever bearing the burden of that experience, then that will be your life.
You have to save your own life – nobody is going to be your savior, so we have to do what we have to do, no matter what it takes. Your dreams are always going to be more important to you than they will be to anybody else. So for all you warriors out there, keep dreaming, keep believing and keep pressing forward. Hold on to your dreams.
‘You will remember me and this night.’
When I decided to become a competitive bodybuilder, I found inspiration in every photograph of anybody who showed me something different and how to best present their physique. And that spilled over into how I thought about posing. It didn’t matter that I was an unknown back then when I started. I told myself you don’t have to be a star; you just have to be an individual plying your own path. What was important was to make my mark, to make people notice me. And if my physique didn’t give that effect, then my posing would.
When I was a teenager I attended a local show in New York in the early ‘90s. This guy came out and just tore the house down. I watched, fascinated as he took control of the stage and the audience’s attention. His body language screamed, “Look at me! I’m going to show you what I have! I’ll show you the absolute best I have to offer!” I couldn’t help but think that I want to do that, I want to have that effect on the audience. You don’t have to be a star, a marquee name, you just have to perform and make your display that night live in the memory.
It didn’t matter if the competitor in New York was dehydrated, feeling sick or had girlfriend problems – nothing else mattered. During those wonderful two minutes or so, his mission was totally fixed and simple. His mission was to get on that stage, take control of the audience and have them fixated on him. His concentration and focus was on unleashing a level of showmanship and excitement the audience would not forget. His inner being screamed, “You will focus on me 100 percent. I will entertain you, excite you and inspire you. This is my time to make an indelible impression on you. And you will remember me and this night.”
‘I believe bodybuilding is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self-portrait into a masterpiece.’ -Kai Greene
