Why We Do What We Do
From the time we start school, or even before that. We are asked what do we want to be when we’re older.
As a kid we want to be super heroes, police men, firemen, cowboys, and princesses (girls and some boys).
This changes as we get older. Personally mine had changed from week to week depending on what I had seen on TV or in the cinema.
As we grow older, parents, teachers or friends try to push us into colleges, jobs or careers.
I have had many jobs in all different sectors. Some I liked and some I disliked.
You get told you need to work and save money, buy a house, settle down, have a family, which all sounds good if that’s what you want to do.
What if you have all that and the job you’re in is slowly killing you. Jobs are usually 8 hour days, 40 hours a week, 1,920 hours a year. So, over the course of 30 years that equals to 57,600 hours doing something that you’re not happy with. That is a lot of wasted hours.
I have always like sports and exercise (even as a heavy set kid), and I also had a passion for biology in school, mainly the human body and how it works.
When it came to choosing what I wanted to do after school I picked fitness. The reason I chose Fitness was not to learn as much as possible and be the best trainer/coach I could possibly be, but I wanted to be beach body fit. Big chest and arms! To anybody that knows me now would laugh at me to hear this.
Over the years I studied and learned more and more about the fitness industry. The more I read, the more I wanted to know where it came from. If I found a new/old style of training I would look into the person who designed it. Then you find out their influences and find information on them. I have personally studied more in the years after college than in collage because I love what I do
When you stop learning or seeking out information, you have given up.
If you think that you know it all (in any field) I’m here to tell you “take your head out of your arse”
That’s why I do what I do. It’s always changing; there are so many different types of ways to be the best that you can be. The amount of knowledge is unreal and never ending.
Don’t be that guy/girl, find what you love to do and take the necessary steps to make it happen.
If you love what you do, it is not a Job.
