Everyone wants to be ’special’ - you can be ’special’ to your family, friends, but for most, you want to feel like you’re different from others.

Uniqueness and expressing individuality has become increasingly evident if you were to visit a high school and see all the kids with funky clothes and big hair.

In fitness - we are the same way. The fact is: is the majority of the people are overweight or obese. The majority is depressed and watches Desperate Housewives with a bowl of chips every Sunday night. The majority of America doesn’t work out.

So are you average?

Are you struggling to maintain fitness goals because your friends ‘aren’t like you’?

Are you bagging your lunches and eating 4-5 small, square meals a day?

Do you have a supplement club card to GNC, Vitamin Shop or Max Muscle?

Do you read Fitnesscure.com daily?
——-

If you have some of these characteristics you may be a bit above average. Always remember that in the quest towards greatness…only the tallest trees catch the most wind. Wind is challenging. Wind makes you want to cut your core so that you can be in the midst of the tree line of others. DON’T!

Workout!

Eat Right!

Encourage others to move!

Be ACTION ORIENTED!

And know every day that if you want to be ‘extra-ordinary’ then do something ‘extra’ than the average joe!

Thank you Casey for inspiring this post and sending me the quote below:

“The majority or the herd are those who do not affirm the negative when it comes to getting fit, something positive. They are lazy good-for-nothings failing to act on exercise to prompt a reaction in their body to achieve fitness results. This familiar consciousness correlates in general people not reacting to anything at all, not taking anything into themselves. They are people who are no longer alive and pulsating with the “energy of thought” and this leads to their own fatalism. Fatalism is no longer taking anything at all, no longer receiving anything at all, no longer taking anything into oneself - no longer reacting to anything at all.”

- Ray Bradbury (an excerpt from his Coda in Fahrenheit 451)
