“I’m Shi**y at…”: Arnold Schwarzenegger Confesses His One Bad Quality That He Wants No One to Emulate

In a candid exchange with fans during a Q&A session, Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about a personal struggle many might not expect from someone of his stature. Amidst questions about his influences and celebrating accomplishments, Schwarzenegger made a surprising confession.

A fan asked about books that have positively impacted his life, and Schwarzenegger didn’t hesitate to mention Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic philosopher. He said that his first mentor introduced him to Aurelius, who taught him to train his mind alongside his body, a lesson he holds dear to this day.

However, it was his response to the question about celebrating achievements that truly resonated. Schwarzenegger admitted, “I’m shi**y at celebrating.” He admitted his difficulty in slowing down and savoring victories, always driven to move forward to the next challenge. This raw honesty from someone widely admired for his success adds a relatable layer to his persona.

Schwarzenegger’s humility shines through as he acknowledges his own struggle, recognizing the importance of celebrating wins. He emphasized the value of taking a moment to acknowledge and appreciate accomplishments, not just for oneself but for others as well. “So, I want everyone else to celebrate because recognizing those wins helps you stay committed,” remarked Arnie.

The bodybuilding icon encourages everyone to celebrate, understanding that it fuels commitment and motivation. Nonetheless, only Arnie has the power to turn a serious question into a motivating proposition.

Colbert then asked about Schwarzenegger’s plans for dealing with death. Schwarzenegger responded, “Well, what do you think why I am working on every day?

This isn’t the first time he’s talked about this topic.

So, while Schwarzenegger may excel in many areas of life and is ready to battle with death, he reminds us that it’s okay to struggle with certain aspects, as long as we’re willing to acknowledge and work on them.
