F**k Average...

I have a new motto....

"Fuck average!" 

The people who know me best know I'm fond of the odd four letter word or two so I'm quite happy with my new mantra.

I'll tell you where it comes from.

I've just come off working a long weekend of nightshifts. I've been sleeping pretty crap through the day lately, probably the humid weather, so I'm pretty run down and tired.

Before you get the violins out, I'm not looking for sympathy, I know a lot of people have it far tougher than me. I'm just lucky to have a job in this current climate.

Anyway.

I couldn't really be bothered to hit the gym this afternoon after 4hrs sleep but I went anyway. As soon as I got there I turned the volume up on the headphones, knuckled down, and blasted through a surprisingly good workout. 

The gym was pretty busy and looking round I noticed a few people just plodding through their workouts with little intensity and little effort.

Being 'average'.

What's the fucking point in that! 

You get out what you put into your time in the gym so be the hardest worker in there, even when you can't be arsed, and reap the rewards later.

I realise this is just my own opinion but the same goes for most things in life.

People who have no passion, who have no desire to better themselves, who have no get up and go. They just plod through life being 'average'.

Don't get me wrong if people are happy with that then that's their prerogative. It's just not for me.

It's the same with people's diets and sedentary lifestyles.

If people just stopped being average, eating the same boring foods they've always eaten, sitting on their arses watching the same old boring tv programmes they've always watched every night, and learned how to cook some fresh nutritious meals and moved around a bit more, then maybe they wouldn't find themselves overweight, feeling like shit, and lacking motivation to do anything about it.

Stop being average!

Again, if people are happy with that, then fair enough. 

I'm not trying to be a dick here, and I'm not saying everyone should be in the gym every day and bouncing around like they are on happy pills all the time. It's just it seems to me that a lot of the people who are happy being 'average' are the same ones who walk around with a chip on their shoulders feeling life owes them something.

Life owes you fuck all. And life can be a piece of shit sometimes. But when you decide you've had enough of the 'average' life and decide to make a change and lead an awesome life then things can quickly seem a whole lot better.

Just find something that is awesome to you, it doesn't matter what, and don't worry about what other people will think of it, and put all your energy into it. And don't do it like the 'average' person would.

Find something that makes you feel awesome and go for it. Grab it by the balls and give it your all.

Because.

Fuck average!....

Sorry for the rant I'm just 'tired' Haha!
