Do you deserve to be fit?

I've thought a lot about people 'deserving' things lately. The truth is, I don't think anyone actually deserves anything for no reason - things need to be earned.

One of the problems with fitness is that a lot of people look at it with a negative light, mainly out of insecurity. I've heard people tell me it's not fair, they deserve to be fit, or that they think it's "stupid and a waste of time", while simultaneously admitting feeling down about how they look and feel, physically and mentally.

Being fit isn't easy, which is why so few people actually get there. Staying fit is even harder. And, we are always fighting the clock because as we age, it gets harder.

If more people respected the difficulty and sacrifice that goes into a transformation and becoming fit, they would understand, at a deeper level, how undergoing that can be life-changing on MANY levels, all for the better.

If you're out of shape, and all of your actions map to staying that way, then no, you don't deserve to be fit. You do, however, deserve the opportunity to be fit.

Listen to the episode to get a deeper dive into all of these categories.
