SO YOU WANNA BE A BADASS?
Remember Garland “The Marietta Mangler” Greene? You know, that scary, crazy-ass convict from Con Air (as portrayed by Steve Buscemi)? He said something about insanity which I’ve never forgotten.
“What if I told you ‘insane’ was working fifty hours a week in some office for fifty years at the end of which they tell you to piss off?
Ending up in some retirement village hoping to die before suffering the indignity of trying to make it to the toilet on time?
Wouldn’t you consider that to be insane?”
Hell yeah! I would consider that to be insane. But isn’t that what the overwhelming majority of people do? Run incessantly on the treadmill of life and live in fear of getting off? What a fucked up way to go.
ARE YOU LIVING THE LIFE YOU WANT?
Can you honestly look at yourself and say that your life right now is your picture perfect way of living?
Do you have everything you want?
Do you do things in your own time, at your own pace?
Are you happy doing the things you love?
The odds are that the answer to each of these questions is a resounding “NO!”.
Sadly, most people feel out of control of their own lives. They are at the mercy of the waves of circumstance. They do not dictate how their own lives flow.
And that is definitely a terrible situation to be in.
If you feel that way, then the first thing you need to do is breathe.
You are by no means alone. I used to go through that very same dismal rut every damn day.
Until I decided enough was fucking E N O U G H !
And now I am doing a job I absolutely LOVE, on my own terms, in my own way.
And all YOU need to do is realise that you can do exactly the same Because YOU are the one who ultimately dictates how your life is run.
GROWING SOME CONKERS
I’ll be the first to admit that making fundamental changes happen takes a LOT of courage
However, if you don’t make changes happen, do you seriously think they are going to happen by themselves?
Trust me, the fairies and the elves and the little winged folk are all otherwise engaged. They won’t be popping over to your place anytime soon.
So, your only option is to play a part in your own destiny.
Yes I KNOW you are too afraid to step out of the rut and make changes happen.
But you DON’T have any alternative.
Well, unless you want to spend the rest of your days running on the treadmill of life.
You can either decide how to live YOUR life – or someone else will do the deciding for you.
You see, this is what it’s all about. Courage is about making decisions outside the box.
That comfort zone that lulls you into safety, is also lulling you to your death as an individual.
A quiet, inconsequential death of being “normal”. Being “average”.
Being what you are told to do. Instead of being the best you can be.
THE BODYFORGE PHILOSOPHY
Teaching the difference between these two polar extremities is the core of our way of thinking and doing.
The BodyForge philosophy is not just about workouts, and eating healthy food and taking care of yourself.
It’s about the true chemistry between success and happiness and how they relate to your life.
It’s about believing in yourself and what you are able to achieve. It’s about taking risks. And not being afraid to fail.
The road to success is strewn with failures. However, that road only leads to a better place if they are failures that you learn from.
If you keep banging your head on the same ledge every time, all you are going to get is a massive headache and nothing else for your pains.
Life’s lessons need to be learnt and applied.
And giving up is just NOT an option.
