Fit For Life: Be Obsessive!! It’s a Good Thing
Sunday, August 23, 2015
Many people think of obsessions as something bad, unhealthy, or problematic. In my opinion, if you aren’t obsessive about the things you do, you are only going to do things half way, and will never reach your full potential. That’s fine if you want to be average at what you do; but being average isn’t in my play book.
If NASA wasn’t obsessive, would we have put a man on the moon? If Tom Brady wasn’t obsessive, would he go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time? If Barack Obama wasn’t driven by obsession, would he have become the first black president? If Thomas Edison didn’t obsess about inventing things, would he have been successful ? And if Steve Jobs wasn’t obsessive, would Apple be where it is today? NO, NO, NO, and NO! And let me give you a little news flash: If you are not obsessive about the things that are important to you in your life, success will elude you on every level. Whether it be fitness, finances, or family matters, if you don’t have obsession, passion, and drive you will either fail, or become mediocre, or average at best.
Will you accept being average?
We live in a world where people accept being average. But where does this get us? High unemployment, high obesity rate, record levels of poverty, poor education among our population, and people looking for the easy way out. Lack of obsession and drive is what has caused these things, not bad luck, foul weather or the government. It’s the lack of drive, discipline and desire to better one’s self, or lack of obsession that causes us to be lazy and not accomplish things. Still think being obsessive is a bad thing? I think it is necessary to succeed.
My newest obsession is to build my new business to the highest level possible. I want to reach the point where I dominate the fitness industry in our state. I want to have so many fitness and fat loss success stories, that when you hear fitness, health, get in shape, great workout programs and results are mentioned - Matt Espeut, and Providence Fit Body Bootcamp come to mind. And I am on my way. I listen and read self help, personal growth, and success books when I can. I fly coast to coast and attend seminars, and conferences hosted by the best in the business, so I can be with like minded people and learn from them. I work day and night to bring my clients the best services and programs I can, and to generate new clients to help. I am thinking every hour I am awake on how to improve and grow, and I don’t plan on stopping until my mission is done. And I believe without obsession, it wouldn’t be happening!
Let’s obsess together.
So there you have it people. Take it for what it is. Want to get in shape, be obsessive about it. You won’t get fit and healthy exercising one day a week, and eating healthy - sometimes. You won’t get promoted, by going to work and working hard - once in a while. You won’t become a scratch golfer if you only play a few times a season, and you won’t be a good parent if you only pay attention to your kids - sometimes. So stop shedding a negative image on people that have a vision, work hard, and focus on succeeding, instead get your butt of the sofa and come on down to my gym, and lets obsess together about making you fit and healthy.
