Addiction is always referred to in a negative light. However, there are some things in life that “REQUIRE” an ADDICTIVE ELEMENT or it won’t happen for you at all. As noted above, you have to be always about the business of making yourself into an improved version each and every day. This improved person is more attractive, more enlightened, physically fit and well groomed, smarter, more accomplished and just plain……Gooder than before!!
Actually, the focus it takes to be a better you is overwhelming for most of us. Again, being overwhelmed is usually what happens in the beginning as we decide which way to go. Believe me when I say, “It hurts to shift!”
In the world of bodybuilding when we select a contest there is a real “PAUSE” as we choose what and how to get there. Addiction, of the highest order takes over. We HAVE TO get better and in a hurry. We give all of our attention to things we normally let slide. Here are some of the ADDICTIONS: Ab work, weight training, cardio, supplements, diet, posing, music selection, training schedules, sleep etc. Nothing is left to chance. Oops! Almost forgot….When to start your prep or how far out from the show do you need to start. All this so you can be your best. The attention to detail can only be described as an “ADDICTION.” You gotta have it or all we go wrong. With it, you will be in the best shape of your life and the rest is history.
In the rest of our world we have to be always on the prowl for ways and means to be better today so tomorrow is better. If it’s academics…Study and Kill it….If it’s professional….Show up, do your job exceedingly well….Promotion awaits…..In your marriage, be always on the lookout for ways to enhance your relationships with your wife and kids…..Gifts and time always are winners.
Bottom Line: Addictions are not default positions. Addictions, are well planned personality traits that are aimed at causing us to soar. This is where the old adage is applied that says, “He who aims for nothing hits it every time.” Leave nothing to chance and integrate your best efforts daily in such a way that doing the process of Bettering yourself unfolds as an Addiction. Nobody loses if you select the correct direction and target for your addiction. You must choose between going along for the ride, or being addicted to win. Let’s get this one right.
