DON'T mess this up...

DON'T mess this up...

Once upon a time, there was this High School Cross Country team, and every week they would run a race..

Every week 50 runners would start, and as the race went on, the stronger ones started to pull ahead, and the weaker ones fell behind..

But not for this kid called Ben

Ben is not the fastest runner on the team, he has never won a race, and most likely never will.

Ben has cerebral palsy..

This is a condition where there is “physical disability in human development”

.. or in other words, when Ben would run, his twisted spine, tender muscle, and dragging feet would cause him to fall down (.. then hit the ground hard, whereafter he’d pick himself up to keep going)

To outsiders, people with cerebral palsy can appear to be ‘broken’, and it’s no wonder that Ben would fall behind a LOT during the race

Every race the pack would run so far ahead of him that he’d lose sight of them, and then he would be all alone..

No matter how big his mental strength, he would get frustrated and fed up with his condition..

Everyone else would finish the race after about 25 minutes, but for Ben it would always take at least 45 minutes..

When Ben eventually crosses the finish line, he is exhausted and in extreme pain.

But in the end, he did what he set his mind to, and he proved to himself that there is not such thing as a handicap

Of course, he is a TOTAL inspiration to all of us..

BUT

.. that’s not what I’m writing you about here

This is not a story of mental toughness, throwing out your excuses, and ‘picking yourself back up after you fall down’

Those are great lessons, no doubt, but we don’t need Ben to learn those lessons.

There are many others who inspire us just as much, and we can always just watch a Rocky movie

(plus, Mariah Carey has like, a bazillion songs on this. But she works out in high heels so dat gurl krazy)

The lesson in this email is much deeper

Because in every race, after 25 minutes, something amazing happens

When everyone else is done with their race, they all run back..

–> to run with Ben

Ben is the only runner, who when he falls, has someone to help him back up.

And when Ben finishes, he has all the runners behind him. Crossing the line as a team with the same common goal -> to get Ben to finish and be part of the team..

Now what THIS teaches us, is that when you compete against everyone else, nobody wants to help you..

.. but when you compete against YOURSELF, everyone wants to help you

And there are 2 reasons I’m telling you this:

REASON ONE

We are about to enter the darkest month of Fitness. It’s called April, the 4th month of the year when you realize you are not any longer on track of your New Years Resolutions.

In April the average American has been taken off complete track of hitting their goals from the new year.

Or in other words, in April, the average American gets flabby

And it’s all because of the first WEEK..

The first week of April is when many Americans decide to ‘pause’ their workouts for a month.. have spring fever....

Then blablabla, come May they want to come back, Swim Suit Ready, blabla, broken record, put on some hiphop instead, got a condo ‘round my

neck – girl, I’m cashin’ out,

My lecture to you today is to pay ZERO attention to your surroundings at this very moment

IF.. tight arms, a flat stomach, and gangsta rap legs is what you want, then go get it.

The time of the year and the people around you have nothing to do with your goals.

If ‘they’ decide to take part in the ‘off track pity party’ then that’s cool, but not you..

It’s so easy to do what everyone else does. It’s easy to rationalize you ‘taking time off’ if all your coworkers do the same..

Don’t fall for that. Live in your own world. One where everyone is friendly and you do more than anyone ever would expect of you.

Boom!

REASON TWO

The second reason I told you this story is because the only person you should ever ‘beat’, is yourself.

Never lose sight of that.

Stop staring at celebrities or fitness models.. you’re not out to beat them or be like them..

(and getting inspiration from fitness models is like eating at the Elephant Bar, you end up disappointed)

If you want inspiration, flex your quads and look at your side profile after a heavy leg workout

Nothing should ever motivate you more than your OWN results (and the firmness of your butt)

What the others do is of no relevance to you, so don’t be inundated by them

For instance, with LFT and all, not a day goes by that someone doesn’t ask me: “How do you guys compare to LA Fitness? Are you better than Crossfit? What about P90X?”

My answer is that I have no idea.. and LFT is by no means better than my competition on all aspects

All I know is that the work we’re doing right now is better than it was 6 months ago..

And the work we will be doing 6 months from now will be better than the work we’re doing today.

So imagine if you sign up today, how it will be next year..

It’s simple, just get better.. and better.. and better.. and better

.. so that whatever comes into your life right now will either have to grow with you or hit the road

It’s March 19th as I write this – the upcoming month is going to be rough, but ignore the lazy, get clarity, and follow what you want to achieve

Now go workout today. And start eating Kale once a week. See you soon,

 


Until Next time!
Keep healthy, keep safe and keep going!

Have an awesome day!
