Realism is for chumps  – Macclesfield Personal Trainer weight loss advice

 

When we’re kids we’re told that we can be anything that we want to be – astronaut, the Prime Minister, an Olympic athlete, etc.

As we age this gets replaced more and more with advice about being ‘realistic’.

We need to settle for average apparently.

Average bodies.

Average happiness.

Average partners.

Average jobs.

Average income.

 

It’s realistic, you see.

Just over 10 years ago when I first started telling people I was training to become a professional wrestler, many told me to ‘be realistic’.

When Matt and I set up RISE we were warned to be more realistic.

If Richard Arnold (our ‘poster boy’ at RISE Buxton) has told you in January (when he was over 18 stone) that he wanted to look like Brad Pitt in Fight Club by the summer, I’m sure most people would have told him to be realistic. Check him out now though:

Well, screw realism.

‘Realism’ is what people who aren’t ‘doing it’ talk about.

I only got an email on Sunday from someone who’s on our mailing list, but I haven’t met yet.

Telling me (amongst other things) she was off to Yorkshire to meet a new man she’d met on the internet and most of her friends thought she was mad.

I told her that when people think you’re mad, you’re probably doing something worthwhile!

 

So – whatever you want to do (change your body, life, job, etc), go for it.

Don’t worry about realism.

It’ll only hold you back.

 

 

Much love,
