The Lifestyle
Life is about choices and making that choice is usually the hardest part of the equation. Some people make choices off the whim while others plan and calculate every detail about their upcoming decision. Whether you are the first type of person or the latter after the decision is made your commitment level must be at least 100% and whole hearted to get the most of it. This is part of the daily happening when you are a physique competitor, most of us love to compete and want to compete as often as possible but we also know that we have to prep to our best ability for the best results come competition time. So for us making a decision to compete or a show to compete in off the whim just isn’t a option. This type of decision making carries over into our everyday lives from choosing what food to eat, what body part to train to even the company that we keep. Fitness isn’t solely about weights, working out and looking more aesthetic than the Sistine Chapel, it’s about healthier life choices. If people were as picky and selective about their health as they are with who DM’s they respond to America would be the healthiest place on the planet. Think back on past decisions you have made and thought to yourself like “yea, that was a dumb decision” or “man, what was I thinking”, it doesn’t mean that we regret these decisions because they helped get us to a certain point in life but we could have gotten to that very same point sooner or with a different disposition. When we choose to be more fit or competitors we also must realize that we are choosing to sacrifice. We sacrifice late nights out, we sacrifice foods/snacks that we may have loved, we sacrifice relationships and friendships, we sacrifice poor decision making and all for the greater good to be a better, more complete person. We choose happiness, health and longevity. Some may see it as selfish but those same people lack the foresight that our decisions are seen by others that are close to us and distant who use what we do as motivation and inspiration. Let your lifestyle of healthier choices inspire others to strive for health and happiness. Being washed isn’t always a bad thing or something to be discontent over, embrace it because the washed and aesthetic will get the last laugh. 🎭🎭 Aesthetically Yours, -Steven
