Last week I met up with some friends and went to see a few of my favorite old school hip hop groups of all time. When the second group of the night (who will remain nameless to protect the innocent) came on the crowd was on fire as the band started out with one hit after another. The lead singer has always been known for taking off his shirt midway through the set and revealing his ripped, muscular physique. This was always a big hit with the ladies and probably made more than a few of the guys envious or jealous.
It had been several years since they played their last show so no one had really seen them in a while but in a hooded sweatshirt he still looked pretty jacked. At about the half way point in their set it happened. He turned toward the DJ and walked to the back of the stage as he started to remove his shirt.
In an instant the t-shirt was off and the only thing left was the trademark wife beater. When he finally turned around the whole crowd went silent from the obvious shock.
“WTF happened to him,” the girl next to me said.
All of the sudden the entire theater was instantly deflated when they saw that their hero had let himself go from all jacked up and shredded to small, soft and fat. The droopy pecs, saggy lats, smooth arms and huge pot belly instantly changed how we viewed him in a millisecond.
You see, when someone is in great shape you automatically look at them differently. You think they have control over their lives. A strong body and a strong mind go hand in hand so you just assume that they are intelligent. You assume that they are hard working and dedicated. You even look up to them or admire them. A great physique commands respect and admiration.
In fact, studies and statistics have shown that people who are lean and muscular have more success not only with the opposite sex but in their business and personal lives as well.
When you are small, soft and fat people look at you like you like someone who has no control over their own life. They think you are lazy and nobody wants to do business with lazy people. How can they trust you with their money or want to do business with someone who can’t even keep himself healthy and in shape. They may not say it to your face but they are all thinking and it probably say it behind your back.
Will you let your personal and professional life suffer any longer; will you be the one that people laugh at the beach or pool parties this summer? Or will you take control of your own destiny by getting in the best shape of your life right now? Not tomorrow or next week but right now?
It’s an easy decision if you ask me.
