The Power Of Transformation...

In a world of monotony that shifts only as needed, sometimes something extra is needed and it all depends on one's make-up.  I am the type of person that is not naturally inclined to simply exist.  I need some type of movement forward to feel normal.  Others, on the other hand are content to exist without shifts or change as this provides them a sense of security and structure.  Yet even in these cases where one is content in staying still, there is still the desire for something more.  An evolution of sorts that marks a beginning or an end of something.  I've seen small ones and I've seen big ones.  Yet for me, since I have come to understand the limitless potential of the human spirit...is where I keep my focus.  If there is no ceiling?  The edifice is one without end...

As I build the inner man, chipping away and adding based on what is absolutely brutally true of me, I do the same for my outer man simultaneously.  Since there is no end to my inner growth, then the same perspective is employed for my body and as truth must be applied for change on the inside, it also must be applied on the outside.  In other words, I take the training of the weight lifter and the bodybuilder and apply both principles into my training.  Why both?  The weight lifter trains for strength alone while the bodybuilder trains for aesthetic.  Bodybuilders look strong but usually aren't.  Weight trainers look fat but are strong as bulls.  So I seek the truth the aesthetic implies and train for full body functionality and strength.  As it is for the inner man, so it must be for the outer man.  Always adhering to brutal honesty.  I don't just want to look strong and functional...I must be these things as well otherwise to me, it is akin to a man feigning care when that care should be genuine.

Some might say this is way too much thought into physical training.  Having trained myself most of my life and having trained others for a time, I can tell you that motivation and/or intent is the driving force behind anything's longevity.  If your reason for doing a thing has no real internal substance behind it, it will peter out without the constant external stimuli you will need to keep it going.  This is why I developed a deeper meaning behind my training.  I need nothing external to drive my training as it is all based on my inner man.

In this, there is real power.  The power to sustain one's outer environment as it slowly moves while progressing at a steady pace in your inner environment.  All at the same time.  Some will do as I do while others my take a class or engage in spiritual pursuits.  Allowing the mind to expand beyond it's environment without needing to change the outer world in which you live.  Applied philosophy is a powerful thing once manifest.  Don't ever think you've made it...even after you reach the top of the mountain you were trying to scale.  Look around, find the next highest peak and scale that one next.  "Think" on this...then "do" something.  Much love
