How Friendships Affect FitnessBy Dan Grant [Trainer Talk]

 It’s easy to find friends who just want to have some fun and get drunk every weekend. It’s easy to find somebody to waste a whole night playing video games or watching reality television shows with. It’s easy to find people to gossip or complain about the hardships of the world with. It’s easy to find people that are scared to challenge themselves and create real lasting change in their lives. It’s easy and so, so dangerous. If you want a new body or a new life, then guess what? You’re going to have to cut the fat and not only off your body, but off your friend list. That’s just fact. Accountability True friends will hold you accountable. They won’t allow you to be stupid or make a fool of yourself. Do you want to be known as the fool? Do you want people to like you because you’re the funny person who embarrasses himself every time he goes out? Or do you want people to respect you, to like you for having values and not accepting anything less? Trust me; I know what the easy answer is. It’s easier to get friends by making a fool out of yourself, isn’t it? And I know that it’s a great feeling to have fun friends and be liked by everybody, but how many friends do you keep in touch with from college that are true friends? The kind of friend that keeps you accountable to be better and live an extraordinary life? My guess is probably almost none. The reason is because we were focused on getting as many convenient friends as possible and never really took the time to find some true friends. Don’t be lazy in finding friends. Friends bring you the social support that can really change you. They support you because you deserve it, can help guide you if you are having problems or can be there to back you up when the mediocre people of your life try to keep you at their level. The Underlying Truth Just like anything I talk about when you want change in your life, you still must change you to change the world around you. Determine your values and what you accept and won’t let happen in your life anymore. Partying every weekend is fun, but it will keep you living a mediocre life. If drinking and eating bad food makes you feel horrible, stop doing it! You need to consistently work on you and a true friend will also be consistently working on themselves. They won’t accept mediocrity, they won’t drag you into a situation that is harmful to you and they will care about you and your happiness. Find your true friends and get rid of the rest. It’s not easy, but amazing isn’t easy to achieve. It takes faith, work and perseverance. What do you think? Email Dan at dan (at) thesoko (dot) com. Source: www.transformationachievementsystem.com |
