I took some fitness pictures yesterday that I am quite proud of. Though my original ideas did not pan out, I’m still happy with these. It’s hard to be your own photographer, and subject. For me, fitness photos are so much more than just showing off your body. It’s a way to celebrate hard work, and appreciate the positive changes that are happening. Most people probably think I’m a bit narcissistic when I post these, but I don’t care. I want to remember this time in my life. I just see strength, passion, dedication, and commitment when I look at these photos. It shows me such a different side of myself. If I ever lose my way, or need reminding, I want to be able to pull these out to show myself that I can do anything I set my mind to. Not everything is done with superficial intentions. Sometimes, you have to create your own motivation. To me, this is mine.
The best thing I’ve learned throughout the last three months is that it’s important to empower people. Being able to tell someone they look great, and commend them on a job well done is major. Jealousy no longer exists. If I want something, then I work to get it. That doesn’t mean I put others down on the way up. Part of living a clean, and healthy lifestyle means your mind is clean too. Strength isn’t just physical. I’m strong enough to compliment someone who is rocking it because I want everyone to be successful, and feel just as good as I do. This feeling is absolutely contagious, so if you start spreading it around, others will catch on, and do the same. The worst thing that can happen is we have less miserable people in the world. That doesn’t sound like such a bad thought, now does it?
