The Ultimate Machine

in #sports9 years ago (edited)

Back a few years ago I used to love working out. I wasn't a bodybuilder or anything like that, but it made me feel great all that endorphin and the good looking body I was achieving. I didn't do it for anyone else, but for myself. I was very passionate about what I was doing and it gave me confidence to chase all my goals in life. Nowadays I don't have the time or energy to workout that hard anymore. That doesn't mean I appreciate it any less and I still go to gym from Monday to Friday.

I also realized that no matter what you do, if you're into soccer, basketball, hang gliding, snowboarding or ballet, you're always going to need the exact same tool: your body. So you should be careful with it and also appreciate the fact that you have a full working body. I do believe it's the most important thing one can have in life, and that's why I wrote this small text. As I said before, it doesn't matter what you're into, I hope these words inspire you, as much as they once did inspire me. Because it's not only about working out, but going after your passion no matter what other people say to you, and trusting your body can achieve greatness if you put enough effort into it.

The Ultimate Machine

Your body is your ultimate machine. Some people say they don't care about their bodies, that this is too superficial or even narcissistic for them. Well, I'm here to prove them wrong. If you crash your car or flood your house, you can always get a new one. If you have your cellphone stolen, you may also buy a new one, no problems there. But if you lose your body, you'll never be able to find among humans' creations something so perfect and harmonic as your own body. So, yeah, I do spend every single day of my life working on my body. I nurture it, I worship it and I work so damn hard on it, not for others, but for myself. Health isn't the absence of disease. Health is something you achieve when you work really hard for it, when you do things most people wouldn't, like not going to parties or sleeping in the afternoon if you could be at the gym, working hard seeking for perfection. Or eating just the correct nutrients as you should to keep on your diet. Most people are gonna criticize you and try to talk you out of it. Well, take a good look at these people: they are pathetic! They are too scared to pay the price you're paying in order to get the perfect body. These people actually believe that great cars or big houses are enough to fulfill their lives. That money can buy everything. Now, don't get me wrong, I also like great cars and big houses, but I know, even more, I am sure they are not the essential thing in life. Because after all, the only thing you can't live without is your own body. So put all your effort to it, shape it and design it the way you want it. And don't ever pay attention to those who try to mess with your head. Your body is your ultimate machine.
