On our path to our very own individuality we are influenced
by different people like family members, best friends, athletes, confidante,
maybe your boss in a good or bad way either way somehow we are influenced by
what is around us and what we watch, listen or that energy that just feels
right. We learn from our influences who we become and what will be our destiny.
Don’t try to be like your idol or anybody because they’re already taken, make a
habit to learn from them to develop your own way to be who you truly want to
be.
The one
thing nobody can ever teach is discovering things for yourself. In the Disney
90’s classic Hercules; Herc is becoming a rising star in the town of Thebes because of his heroic
efforts to slay everything that crosses him, he’s got merchandise named after
him but Zeus his father tells him that’s not the path or the secret to becoming
a true hero. Herc must discover something within himself in order to a true
individual and heroic figure. In the Fitness world, the general population
looks to the biggest trend of weight loss, faster strength gains, quicker
results and doing it with less effort when in fact it’s not real. To make
things happen to build your body, it takes effort but not always physical
strength but by the strength of your will and discovering what works best for
you.
Heading
more towards building your body, people believe that in order to achieve that
they need to be in a specific place (Gym
for example) where there are specific instructions to do this weight or this
cardio machine or lifting up this heavy or light barbell or dumbbell. In
reality that’s just one place where you have really more than enough places to
go to make gains. Make your surroundings your strengths. When I was in Lake
Tahoe earlier this month, the nearest gym was miles away and we pretty much
stayed near the lake and the cabins so what could I do, I improvised by going
swimming and swim hard, climb on the rocks using MovNat type training to shift,
push, pull, grip and squat in many directions, lift heavy rocks by pressing,
deadlifting, carrying and tossing them. That’s a hell of a workout and you
never know what’s going to happen. Make the effort to be creative and use what
you have around you to make the greatest benefit. The art of discovery is only
something you can do, nobody else can do it for you.
One of the
greatest discoveries you develop when broadening your horizons and going on a
path that is of your own choosing, learn the art of being flawless in
everything you do. It’s very difficult to do and it takes time and patience but
when it starts to happen, everything changes for the better and you’ll have
that magnetic attraction towards people and you will find within the strength
of your heart that no matter what happens, you will seem to feel alert and
being at ease even in the toughest of times. You can have your own path and do
anything you want in your own life. People will make you choose and steer
towards something that’s more for them than it ever will be for you. Don’t let
them because if you do, you’ll lose sight of who you really are and what will
become of you. Walk on it, run it, play hackysack on it whatever but find your own path and let
no one stop you.
