?Sure as Hell Can?t Find Happiness in the Past?: Days After Putting His Life on Display Once Again, Arnold Schwarzenegger Drops a Brutal Reality Check

75-year-old?Arnold Schwarzenegger?recently starred in the Netflix docu-series titled,?Arnold. In the biographical docu-series, the seven-time Mr. Olympia put his life on display and relived his journey. However, when too many people sent him a particular post about newspaper clippings from 50 years ago, Arnie wrote about it in his newsletter. Arnold Schwarzenegger noticed that people have been making such claims since the 1980s, so he revealed his?“theory”?in the latest edition of?Arnold’s Pump Club.

While Schwarzenegger relived the golden days of coming to America and finding success, he doesn’t believe in glorifying the past over the present. He also revealed why he thinks some people put the past on such a high pedestal.

Arnold Schwarzenegger on why people romanticize the past

According to the?bodybuilding?icon, people have been romanticizing the past for decades. While recently it’s been on social media, decades ago, people used other mediums to claim things were better 5- years ago from that point in time. In his theory, Arnie said people who don’t have a vision for the future find?“it?s easier to look back.”

While the five-time Mr. Universe recounted his past in the docu-series, he repeatedly talked about having a vision. When Arnie came to America, he had a concrete vision of success. After becoming a world-champion bodybuilder, he visualized conquering Hollywood.?‘When you don?t have a vision, today doesn?t have much meaning,”?he wrote.

Arnold also mentioned that people who don’t have that vision don’t know what to expect, the future can seem scary. However, that’s not the way to live, as looking over your shoulder only hampers the progress that can be made in the present. So the 75-year-old told his newsletter readers to find their vision. While the past might seem rosey, no one can live in it.?“You sure as hell can?t find happiness in the past,”?Arnie wrote in Arnold’s Pump Club. However, like in every edition of his newsletter, the 75-year-old explained why his suggestion would work.

Why it’s important to find a vision

The bodybuilding legend didn’t just tell people to figure out the vision for the future, he also told them why it was important. The former Mr. Olympia said,?“a vision gives you a reason to be here, doing whatever you?re doing.”?Schwarzenegger worked tirelessly in the gym?because he visualized the future, lifting the Mr. Olympia title on stage.

Having a vision also helps one move toward their goal despite setbacks. Even if one makes a mistake, it’s the urge to achieve something that helps one fix the error of the past.“Play it like a movie in your head,”?recommended Arnie and said it would be a better movie than anything that was going on 50 years ago.

Despite being 75, Schwarzenegger is still excited about what he can accomplish in the future. What did you think about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s advice? Write your thoughts in the comments.
