A special kind of person

After all the years I have worked out and put my body through the different training regimens, people still ask me why. That is a wonderful question. It takes a special mindset to want to go to the gym, to want to hurt and be sore for days after. It takes someone special indeed. People look at me and think that I must have this special desire for this and that it is only gifted to a certain few. People do not realize we all have that within ourselves. We all have the ability to push ourselves. There is a certain enlightenment that comes with pushing your body to extremes that you thought were not possible. This isn't a magic pill, nor something picked up through hereditary workings. My father nor mother were never athletically inclined yet the desire I have came from somewhere. As I stated before, we all have it. I just found mine. The choice is there for each and everyone of us to make. We can sit and watch or we can get up and be the show. It takes a special kind of person to want to be the show but I think we all want to shine, we all want to exceed, to achieve. You have to find that desire. For some it has been bottled up for far too long. Take a chance and just try. I cannot fault those who try and not succeed but only those who never get up off the couch. Being fit is not an unknown, unexplored figment of some fool's imagination. It is a lifestyle choice that, when practiced correctly, has nothing but benefits for those who attempt it. They say the first step is the hardest and it is but without a goal you will never find a need to take that step in the first place. Being healthy is contagious. Put down your smart phone. Get off the couch and hide the remote. Look inwards and ask are you truly happy. Find the time. We all have that special something. You just have to find yours.
