The reason Arnold Schwarzenegger had “visions”

Recently, Arnold Schwarzenegger confessed to “having visions” on the Jay Shetty Podcast. The former governor of California recalled an incident from before he figured out what he wanted to do with his life. After spending the day at a lake near his house, the actor was “inspired” by seeing the Mr. Austria champ. The star recalled how his 14-year-old self was completely captivated by the bodybuilder’s size and physique. He even revealed that the champ had told him that he could look like him.

“I started having visions,” Schwarzenegger recalled after the interaction between the two. He went on to say that it had lit a fire within him and the journey began. Ever since the meeting, Arnold Schwarzenegger could not help but think about how amazing it would be if he could not only look like the bodybuilder but achieve the same Mr. Austria title.
