As a species we've been striving for strength since the dawn
of time. The early evolution of man was to hunt, run, swim, climb and didn't
have a choice to be strong, you either were or you died that simple. As we
became civilized, we've lost touch of our roots of what is strength and
life-long health and power not just in physical form but emotionally,
spiritually and mentally. Most ancient man of strength was either in slavery,
farm work, blacksmith, sporting man or soldier and no more than that. There was
a time when kings were great warriors and their physical strength was
incredible, nowadays most don’t value the strength they've developed or don’t
realize the true strength within them.
A key
ingredient to successful physical stature of strength and fitness is to evolve
backwards and it’s one key way to become naturally superhuman. Today with all
these gadgets and machines, “aerobics” classes and other things, we are nearly
fading in the shadow of our ancestors and forgotten more about strength and
health than any other time period. If you value your body, give it strength;
give it a reason to be resilient to disease and learn to control what you put
into it. A great form of exercise is to move like a wild animal. Build your
body that can become three times stronger than the average person. Imagine
powerful tendons, a mighty back, arms with powerful functional muscle,
abs that can take a punch, legs that have full of energy and build your
hormones to levels that couldn't be fathom before and all with great strength,
tremendous balance, graceful agility and devouring power. Think about that.
You’d want
to spend as much time outside as possible. If you live in an area where weather
conditions aren't so great aka Idaho
where weather is almost like Sybil and still has all four seasons, you learn to
adapt. In the summer and spring when it’s warm and beautiful go outside and
live around nature, be adventurous and play, in the winter, keep warm and train
as much as you can. There’s no excuse to not train everyday of the week even if
you only have 5 min. do something. The wild is our gym, you can lift odd objects, if you go to the gym; do some basic lifting (presses, squats, pulls)
and leave the bunny weights alone. You live in an area that has snow, shovel it
out of the way, that’s a great workout, got a tire and a hammer, strike it down
and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine (if you don’t get that
reference I feel sorry for you). You live in the city, adapt to your environment
and walk to certain places. There’s always something you can do to make the
best of your training. Live out in the country, chop wood, who said a gym is
the only place to train.
We all have
an animal within us. In Mortal Kombat: Annihilation despite its horrible acting
and overdoing the characters, there was a distinct message in there. Within us
is our own what’s called Animality. Animality is the spirit within us that has
a distinct animal. No one has the same form of animal and it makes us unique.
We move a certain way and our Animality is what we strive to be even if we
don’t know it. When you do physical animal movements, there will be at least
one animal you will do more frequently, you may not know or you may come to
grips with it but whatever animal comes up and you end up having more fun, more
results and you do it more often because your mind is fixated on it that is
more likely the animal spirit within, your Animality.
Kids are
the real inspiration for our future but nowadays that’s fading away due to
obesity, the way kids are taught in school, bullying, depression and not enough
love and encouragement to help them strive to be their best. One of my friends
Bud Jeffries has a son named Noah, this kid has had obstacles in his life that most
wouldn't dare to fight back but yet at nearly 17 he’s one of the strongest
teenagers, very intelligent, is one of the sharpest shooters in the world and
learned how to develop his mind in ways most can never understand. He is one
inspirational kid and had great parents to get him through life. You don’t have
many kids like that today and it’s sad.
Kids should
be encouraged, loved, showing them how they can be great at what they love to
do. Help them find what they’re best at and have it be a positive influence.
Get them to exercise like an animal, let them play, have fun create friends and
share stories with them. I’m not a parent so I don’t have the luxury or the
tools to tell you how to treat your kid and don’t need to but I've been around
kids my whole life and observed from a lot of families including my own. Show
them what a great life they can have, how they can change the world for the
better and give them something to hope for, encourage them, and give them
something that brings them joy.
It’s time
to unleash the best within us and become strong in every possible way whether
it’s fitness, business, sports, teaching and/or entertaining, we all strive to
be strong in our own way, let it bring out the best in all of us because it’s
more freighting to feel locked up than to be free.
