Boo Hoo Hoo

Boo Hoo Hoo


As expected, my 'Ranting and Raving' email ruffled some feathers yesterday. Not many people like to be called lazy. Fat people don't. Broke trainers don't either.


Interestingly I heard from quite a few people OUTSIDE of the industry who were none too happy with me. Apparently laziness is not one of the main factors - in their opinion - why the people of this nation are so friggin' fat.


The cries came forth:


"We need to motivate the people. We need to find a way to inspire them."


I couldn't agree more.


How about this for motivation:


- You're so fat you can't tie your own shoes


- You're so fat you can't walk a flight of stairs without feeling like you're going to have a heart attack


- You've put yourself at serious risk of having a heart attack because you're so fat


- You've got a serious chance of becoming a diabetic because you're so fat


- Your kids may not have a parent because you might die young because you're so fat


My girlfriend is a psychotherapist. She has worked in hospitals where you will see some of the saddest things you can imagine. And she'll gladly tell you the same thing: You cannot help people who do not want to be helped.


Have you ever heard of Seminar High?


That's where you go to some kind of educational or motivational seminar for a day or a weekend and get all pumped up. I've been to many. I've spoken at many.


Do you know how long that euphoric feeling lasts? Do you know what happens to the grand plans of most people after being motivated like hell all weekend?


Well, some people really do what they say they are going to do. They take action and the start kicking some serious butt. These people are motivated from within.


Other people - MOST people - do nothing. They get home, turn the TV back on and go numb watching the latest on Britney, Brad and Angelina.


Whether you want to be healthy, or wealthy, or both, you're going to have to work. And you're going to have to work hard.


Your motivation comes from within.


Is it going to be a LOT harder for some people than others? Yes. Yes, it's going to be a LOT harder for some than others.


Do people deserve all the love and encouragement we can possibly give them? Yes, they do.


Can we do it for them? Nope.


I'm a very blessed guy. I say thanks everyday for all I have. And a lot of people read my emails for inspiration. I'm grateful to be able to give it to them. But my readers and customers who go places, the ones who move in the direction of their dreams, are always motivated from within.


Always.


I still love ya.


Yours in prosperity,
