Obviously I don't want to be IFBB pro big(mad props to b-boy), but still...the realization that gear will accomplish more than any other supplement you can throw at yourself really made me take a step back and look at what I was doing.

then take it as far as you can naturally, and then, decide, is it worth it to get bigger?

The question is always that of happiness and how bad you want it.

If you search for "true happiness" you will always be disapointed Skel... Settle for happy moments, cuase that's what life is...

If you settle for the things you can have, you will never push for the things that may have been.

I'm not saying don't stive to improve your life, or situation. I am just saying that if you keep searching for something that doesn't exist, in this case "happiness" you'll be in a constant state of disapointment.

Happy moments are what your after.

Of course you are right about someone else out there who is bigger and stronger, but you can't honestly tell me you never measure yourself against other people... it is human nature to do so. Everyone wants to be the alpha in the room, and there can be only one.
