No one wants a FAT personal trainer

Someone commented on of my recent Facebook post and said “You’re doing this all for the money.  You don’t care about people if you did you would do it all for free.”   That didn’t bother me at all… in fact I loved it and laughed at it.  My wife got mad and told me to delete that person’s comment.  I did, but I didn’t want to!  Some people are driven by haters that’s not me I just laugh at them, then feel sorry for them.

Here is the truth.  I didn’t believe it because it wasn’t remotely factual.  No one person can say anything that hurts you, unless you believe what they are saying is factual.   The exception to this rule is the bandwagon approach where lies destroy reputations, that’s why slander is against the law.  Unfortunately, it is never enforced.  I just thank GOD we have an honest media!  Wait that’s an oxymoron.

Next time someone says something to you or about you that hurts, search inside, do a self-assessment.  Is it factual?  If it’s not and it still hurts quit believing a lie.   If it is a fact, that doesn’t make the bully a good person, but it did get your attention, and if it’s true change it!  Sometimes you never rise to the top without an enemy.  The root word for adversity is adversary, your mind is your biggest adversary most of the time!

I remember when I got back in shape… I was out of shape and I decided to just get fat!  Yep I gave up, I said I am going make my before pictures epic.  I got fat even more fat that I already was.  My mentor told me “You’re fat.  No one wants a fat personal trainer.” He was right…. It didn’t hurt my feelings it was a challenge.  It was a fact.  Facts are just that, facts, but facts are not FINAL.  The truth is I could lose weight and be fit!   He was actually pushing me to do better.

The truth supersedes the facts, how do I know that?  If the facts could not be changed we would have no hope, no drive and no ability to overcome obstacles.  The facts are you could be 200 pounds overweight, you could have 50k in credit card debt, and you could be going through a horrible divorce.  Those are just facts.  The truth deep inside of you is saying…. You can have six pack abs, you got a body that would make The Rock or Heidi Powell jealous (maybe not), you can get out of debt and be wealthy, you can also have a meaningful relationship with a future wife or husband.

When Inspiration comes from an outside source the only way it can be sustainable enough to accomplish its purpose is if it speaks to a part of you that really believes and wants what the source of it is selling.

What am I selling?  I am selling hope.  What is hope?  Hope is the confident expectation of a coming good.   What is the coming good?  I believe you are going to be fit and healthy!   Do you believe me?  If you do, start looking at pictures of the body you want to have.  You can do it!
