Would You Freeze For This?
Would You Freeze For This?
Hi Friend,
Think about how fun it would be to sit outside overnight in sub-freezing temperatures... and end up with nothing to show for it.
My wife told me a story last night that I just had to share with you. Frankly, it boggled my mind.
Let me tell you first that Tammi is a dedicated, day-after-Thanksgiving Day shopper. A tried and true Blak Friday veteran.
This year she left home at 3 am to make it to the first store opening by 4. She enjoys the craziness and shares the experience with her sister and mother.
To make a long story short, many hours and multiple stores later, she ran into one of our old neighbors, who told her this story:
"We waited overnight at (a certain blue and yellow themed electronics store) to get in on the early bird deals. We got there at midnite, stood in line and froze (low of 15 degrees F) - all to be one of the first people in the door. But, we didn't go early enough - we waited all that time but, once we got in, everything we wanted was already gone..."
(You may be wondering why I'm telling you a shopping story. I promise you there's a good reason, and here it is)...
It always amazes me what people will go through to get something they really, REALLY want. They'll stand in line, fight through crowds, be uncomfortable, withstand the cold, the rain, the snow - anything to get what they desire.
Unfortunately those things they want are usually just material goods. A new computer, a bigger TV, the latest gaming system... and, hey, I'm all for having those things too.
But, when it comes to more important aspects of life - like your health and fitness - many people have a more difficult time.
Either:
They don't know what they want.
Or
They aren't willing to do ANYTHING necessary to get it.
In the first case, many people don't know what their goals are in fitness and wellness. They have no problems envisioning that new LCD TV hanging on their wall, but can't (or won't) picture themselves as stronger or healthier or faster or fitter or leaner...
In the second, even if they can see where they want to be, they are unwilling to go to any lengths to get there. Some of these same people will camp outside for 7 days and nights to get season sports tickets for their favorite team, but won't take one single action towards reaching their fitness goals.
Anyway, ask yourself this about your fitness:
What do I want?
Then ask yourself this:
What do I REALLY want?
Define it. Turn it into your burning desire. Doing so will help you go to any lengths - to do whatever it takes - to get it.
