The trades we make

I was talking to someone yesterday who was telling me about a painful knee. 

He told me it's why he doesn't workout anymore.

“When was the last time you worked out?” I asked.

“I walk once in a while,” he said. 

“But I haven’t been to a gym in years. I’m too old for that shit.” He chuckled.

That's when I knew he was okay with settling for the 'normal' decline of aging.

You see, I believe that most of these 'old people problems'  originate from a place of complacency.

And today, that complacency is largely supported by the idea that, "It's not your fault".

For example...

"It's not your fault...it's just part of getting old"

"It's not your fault...it's your genetics"

"It's not your fault...you're parents raised you that way"

Let me share a quick story...

I wasn't able to permanently change my life UNTIL I was diagnosed with cancer...the second time.

If you're wondering, "Why was the second time your turning point?"

Well, the first time, I fell into a complete victim mentality.

It wasn't pretty, lol.

And it wasn't until the second time that I felt an unexpected, yet PROFOUND sense of personal responsibility for my situation. The feeling was so strong that I even blamed MYSELF for the cancer coming back.

Now, if you're thinking that I'm silly for thinking this way, I must respectfully disagree.

Because if I had thought that way, I would have not felt so empowered to start my journey towards living a healthy life.

I would have continued to drink lots of alcohol, eat terrible foods, disregard my health and blame things that were outside of my control when things went bad.

It was that feeling of personal responsibility that launched me into action.

I wanted to BE BETTER and to feel like I had infinite power over the direction of my life.

And over the 20 years since making that shift in my perspective, things have been amazing.

My health has been unimaginably good for decades.

And along the way on my journey, I've been connected to many others with the same mindset.

Many who are now friends :-)

As you might expect, these friends tend to be in the minority of men who are over 40 and look, feel, and perform better than most 20 year-olds.

And when we're labeled by others as "genetically blessed" or told that "It must be nice", we just smile and nod.

Because we know the real reason we are in the 1% is because we work for it.

We own it!

How about you?

Is NOW the right time for you to take control of YOUR health and fitness.

LFG!!!
