Why You Should Be Selfish

It’s ok to be selfish. Controversial I know, but I actually encourage it!

My family means everything to me; they are my life and my reason “why”.

They are the reason I prioritize myself, specifically my health, over everything else.

If I choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, I choose to be prone to sickness.

If I choose to eat nutritionally deficient foods, I choose to risk disease.

If I choose to not lift heavy weights, I choose to be weak.

If I choose to move poorly, I choose to risk injury.

If I choose to not listen to my mentors and coaches, I choose ignorance.

If I choose to have a negative mindset, I choose to not progress.

If I choose to be lazy and make excuses, I choose to miss opportunities.

If I choose to sacrifice sleep, I choose to be unrecovered for the day. 

This is why I strive to choose none of the above.

I choose to be fit and healthy for life so that I can be the best husband and father for my family for years to come. I want to be my best self for them. 

Our lives come down to our choices. We live in a world that is constantly tempting us to choose the unhealthy decisions. Reaching the best outcome - you being healthy and happy - starts with you choosing to take the hard road. 

Make yourself the top priority and choose your health every single day. Your family will thank you.
