comparing coconuts with coconuts . .

Everyone has that “ideal body” that they fantasize about having . . whether it be a supermodel . . sports player . . actor . . bodybuilder . . before you hit the gym you hop on to youtube . . play a clip of them hitting the iron . . I know I do!

But lately I’ve come to a conclusion . . no . . a REVELATION. .

The more I focused on THEM I lost track of ME . .

I’m not them and I’m never going to BE them . .

Sure it’s motivating to look at pictures . . vids . . but that only gets me so far right. .

Then it’s time to put down the pink dumbbells and get to work.

Soo . . THROW OUT THE PINK DUMBBELLS PUNK!

It’s all too easy to get caught up in what everybody ELSE is doing . . comparing our bodies to their bodies . . your arms to their arms . . her legs to some other chicks legs . .

I’ve caught myself doing it SOO many times . .

What do I do now? Focus on myself . . my needs . . my body.

We need to be self-referential and look at OURSELVES to see whether we are measuring up to OUR OWN standards . . to see if we are meeting OUR full potential.

Ohh she’s got better genetics . . she can eat whatever she wants . .

Genetics? FUCK GENETICS.

Can you change her genetics? No

Can you change yours? No

So you have to work a LOT harder than the guy next to you . . it is what it is . . if you want it that bad . . you’re prepared to work for it . . and THEN some!

I’m not competing against anybody else . . I’m competing against me . . I’m competing against who I see in the mirror everyday.

Time for some R&R.
