This Is Why You Come Here...

There’s a certain look I hate to see in a client's eyes. It’s unmistakable and while there is nothing wrong with it I know it’s not the best thing to dwell on…   

It’s disappointment! Not just any disappointment but the kind that comes from falling short of some external expectations or by comparing yourself to someone else…

You spend time in the gym working on your fitness and while you may be better than others at some things you will fall short in other areas.

It pains me to see this disappointment because in of itself lies a big misunderstanding. This is that you’re not here to get better than others but instead to continually strive to beat your previous self.

You have no control over how another person performs so any time spent there is in my opinion time wasted.

Comparison is distracting you from making real progress and real progress is you moving the needle on your own capabilities no matter what other people can do!

This is why you’re here. Don’t forget that!
