Fitness Is Earned, Not Given
No participation trophies here
Fitness is impartial.
It doesn’t care who you are, where you come from or how much money you have. It’s indifferent to the color of your skin or your sexual orientation. Fitness is achievable by all, regardless of circumstance.
However, it’s not necessarily fair.
Some folks are predisposed to fitness, others are not. The same way some are born with good health and others are not. The same way some guys are 6’3” and I’m 5’10”.
You won’t ever look like the Instagram fitness models you follow. The same way I’ll never look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or run as fast as Usain Bolt. Certain folks are simply more gifted than others.
All we can do is work to be the fittest version of ourselves. To be as strong or as fast or as fit as we can be, independent of others.
Too many people forget that.
In today’s “me-first”, instant gratification society, people aren’t willing to put in the work. They expect to be handed everything on a silver platter. They expect others to do things for them. They expect to be placated and coddled and told how great they are, just the way they are. They expect everything to be equitable and fair and evenly distributed when life is everything but.
