In the old books of the Creature Of The Night, we have
romanticized it’s characteristics, it’s strengths, weaknesses, it’s funny side
and even it’s very much larger darker side but let’s not forget how we as a
culture come to love and hate vampires. We all know the tales of blood,
immortality, fear and the biggest name of them all Dracula. What if we took
these old tales and turned them into something that is what we crave for
centuries; a longer life, having super human strength & speed and the
ability to have a high dose of great emotional power.
Certain vampires you’ve seen in the movies and comics are
different and either funny as hell or as dark as you can get. From Boris Koloff
to Edward Pattinson, we have loved and loathed the idea of what it is to be a
Vampire. Personally I prefer the Warriors of vampirism such as Blade and Kate
Beckinsale’s character in the Underworld saga but this generation prefers the
Twilight and True Blood types. We all have our likes and dislikes to Vampires
but the truth of the matter is, we can use those capacities to become a
stronger and healthier human being. We can become a much stronger human with
the right tools and resources and not resort to taking shortcuts and making
ourselves weaker as we age. Sure we won’t have the unlimited power of age
compared to a Vampire but we can use methods to live longer, be stronger and
have vitality beyond the average human.
When I talk about Vampires I’m not talking about dressing up
in gothic crazy costumes or having night clubs devoted to a cult, that’s for
children and demented overzealous freak shows; what I’am talking about however
is the ability to look outside the box and look to ways in the fitness world
where knowledge for strength, speed, energy, flexibility and building a body
that you can be proud helps bring life to what you want out of it. Does that
make a freak in some way? Hell yes it does and I’m proud of it and I love being
to learn how to keep my life the way I want it to be and move forward with it.
Vampires have strength and energy beyond our own
imaginations so how do we apply that notion for ourselves. We certainly do not
need to suck someone’s blood for a life continuing capacity but we can keep our
bodies fresh and ready to go by using small effective exercises and build our hormones naturally so we can look younger and have the strength of a wild animal. It’s something we can look at from a different perspective as a nation
that has become accustomed to the growing disease of obesity. Being unhealthy
isn’t a good thing no matter how you slice it, it eats your life away and you
are just sucking energy just to even get off the couch and that’s sad.
Do you want to have a life where you can energy that can go
on for hours on end, have the strength to help others and what about being able
to move pain-free and not have aching backs and busted knees? You can create
the life you want, all you got to do is take one step in the beginning to start
and build yourself up whether physically, mentally or emotionally, if you don’t
move, you’re stuck in the same place. Remember that.
The ability to move with grace, power and super human speed
takes practice but at the same time, practicing with mindful intentions creates
an even bigger place of building great strength and power in ways you can’t
imagine unless you've experienced it. Certain things don’t just happen
overnight, most people can’t get the concept of that because they want more
than what’s already been given to them and than they want more than that. It
takes time and patience. Think of a Vampire who has lived for a couple hundred
years, don’t you think he’s learned patience and in that period of time? I’d
like to think so in some cases, if he/she can live that long I believe you
don’t have an excuse for something you wish to have at this very moment. It’s
like saving money, you put a little in your account every now and then and
before you know it, you have quite a bit of money built up, same thing with
building a body and creating strength and agility, takes time and before you
know it you’re far stronger and more energetic than when you started.
Unlike a Vampire, you don’t need a thirst for blood, you
should however learn to have a thirst for exercise, not to the point like a
crack addict but using it to keep your energy levels up for things you need to
do throughout the day like your job, taking care of kids, being energetic at a
gathering, in the office writing up reports or delivering mail. It’s all about
consistent action and reminding yourself that you don’t need a gym or a trainer
to get you awesome shape, you can learn to do it yourself and save your money
for the things you need in life. The only person that makes your life
complicated is you and you can either keep running with the flow, or you can
make something of yourself and be happier, live longer, have great strength and
be able to handle things even your friends couldn’t do. Make it happen and
learn from the Vampires. They’re not as messed up or dark as you might think.
