Month: August 2024

You may have seen the Oreos. You may have seen the Italian food. If you’ve been around me on a Friday night you may have seen me with a Corona or Scotch in hand.

Am I a hypocrite?

How can someone espouse the tenants of Money, Mouscle and Mindset and then go dabble in processed foods and alcohol?

If you’re one of the people that asks yourselves that question, to you i’d say “give me a fucking break”.

Also, don’t buy into the archetypal fitness nuts you see online, and be more aware of both who you are and what’s realistic and what isn’t.

In REAL LIFE, you can enjoy a little processed food and alcohol in small amounts and be perfectly fine. I would argue that about 95% of your diet should be clean, and 95% of your focus and time should be on self improvement.

The other 5%?

For God’s sake – have 2 Oreos and a scotch.

You know what? Have 4 Oreos and 2 scotches.

Not the end of the world amigo.

As long as you’re aware of what you’re doing, you don’t do any of this in excess, you’re aware of what it will take to make any corrections, and most importantly – you do the work to stay on track, then do it.

You can be a machine and still enjoy a little dark matter lol.

Keep in mind this requires discipline and willpower. If you’re the type that absolutely CAN’T enjoy just a little because you have self control issues – then DON’T dabble.

Again – self awareness is key.

I believe you should be able to out work 99% of the general public, be able to hangout a little, then get right back to kicking ass.

This brings me to my last point.

Ever hear things like..

“If you love something, let it go, and if it comes back to you it’s yours”

Or

“A weak man is not a good man, but rather a dangerous man in control is a good man”?

In the same vein, I believe that it is NOT impressive to have something if you haven’t faced the discipline required to have it.

A skinny guy with abs

Someone born into riches

Etc

Big whoop

Show me someone that’s not only earned something, but who CONTINUES to earn it – someone who has a RESILIENT character and who WORKS for what they have.

That’s impressive

So in that sense, I personally pride myself on the ability to have copious amounts of Italian Food for Saturday dinner and then get on the stepper Sunday morning.

I’m in control.

That’s G to me.
