Schwarzenegger continued by explaining that one needs to keep a realistic goal in mind and then work towards it. Giving a reality check, Schwarzenegger pointed out that many people can’t look themselves in the eyes because they are not the person that they aspire to be. 

He wrote, “What do you see when you look in the mirror? A winner or a loser? What color are your eyes? And don’t tell me they’re blue or brown or whatever. Those are bulls**t answers for your driver’s license. What color are they, really? Not so simple, right?”

He revealed that it is hard for people to look at themselves in the mirror because “It’s too uncomfortable. Too scary. Because the person in the mirror is often a stranger who looks nothing like the person they see when they close their eyes and picture the person they want to be.” Arnie also went on to explain how he stayed away from certain people who did not contribute to his growth.

Continuing further, ‘The Austrian Oak’ revealed that during his ventures in the realm of bodybuilding, Hollywood, and politics, he met a lot of “douchebags, pricks, and a**holes.” He explained that it is important to be sure of yourself, and not get influenced by such elements. 

Schwarzenegger disclosed, “Navigating the gross parts of these worlds was like trying to move inside a set of Russian nesting dolls full of s**t and hair gel. And the thing is, it’s very easy to get swallowed up by them if you aren’t sure of yourself and sure of what you’re trying to accomplish.” Arnie’s outlook on life reveal that his mindset was the major reason behind his breakthrough success in different fields.
