I believe this is one of the most dangerous things the human race is facing today.
The fitness industry is full of noise and distractions,
Constantly new ways to get results with your fat loss, fitness and general health and wellbeing.
Many made up stories to gain exposure and make money from people. Pulling at people’s limited knowledge and insecurities, forcing people to believe they are more broken than they think and investing in gimmicks that lead nowhere.
Not to mention the new craze of getting a result with no effort needed 💉
And this is what scares me the most,
At no time in our history have we had the ability to gain a result with no effort needed. Other than not having to leave your house to get your shopping, of course.
But now, you can drop body fat and lose weight without having to do the hard work.
And there lies the problem, we are here to do hard, difficult and downright challenging things,
We would not exist if it were not for these constant challenges and obstacles.
We grow and develop as people through the challenges we face and the goals we set for ourselves.
Take a moment to consider where this could take us. Not having to push yourself to learn new skills, gain knowledge, and engage in physically challenging activities will only lead us to extinction.
Technology and science are amazing, and we are blessed to live in a time that has seen such massive leaps in both these areas. However, we must also not stray from the very thing that got us to this point in the first place.
Our ability to thrive through pain and challenges, both physically and mentally, and our capacity to learn and improve are our greatest strengths.
I genuinely believe that what we are looking for, what truly lights us up, all comes from the willingness to step into the fight, lean into the unknown, and be willing and ready to be challenged.
As the great man, Marcus Aurelius, once said,
“The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”
The world is always asking you to do one thing,
Be challenged; do the hard stuff - that is what you were made for.
