Some seem to share a misguided notion that focusing on your own growth is a selfish thing to do. I disagree, it is my belief turning your focus inward, learning, and doing what it takes to improve yourself is a necessary step on the path to becoming selfless.
By learning to help yourself you can gain valuable insight and more effectively help others. "Cast the beam out of thine own eye.."
Inspired Confidence
There may come a time when we feel lost and are looking for answers to whatever we might be facing. That's when somebody that has faced a similar situation and not only survived, but triumphed, can inspire the kind of momentum to face any challenge with confidence. Life has a way of wearing a person down. You must build yourself up if you wish to counteract this decline, and keep your heart and soul as vibrant as possible.
Looks Aren't Everything
Fitness while only being a part of this, is an important aspect that shouldn't be overlooked. Everyone wants to look better. A lot of people believe thats where fitness ends. Mere vanity. In reality, it goes much deeper than that. If you want to look 'better', but won't do anything about it. What is that saying to yourself? You are affirming your powerlessness in the matter, and not only will you not end up looking better as you desired, but you will wind up being a slave to this mindset. I believe if carried on long enough eventually you will become consumed by negativity and start projecting it onto others without even realizing it!
Excuse You
Now, you can use whatever excuse you want. You don't have time because you have to work, pay bills, or perhaps you have children. All well and good, but you shouldn't risk letting your kids to be subject to absorbing the negative energy that you project. It can effect them on a level you might not even be aware of. Instead, make it a point to mold yourself into someone that your children will admire ( Preferably before having them).
What Insolence! What Outrageousness!
Have you ever seen worn down mothers feeding their kids crap that isn't even fit for an animal to eat because they are powerless to know any better, or worse.. to even care.That might sound preposterous to some of you parents out there. Especially the ones who are health minded and fitness oriented. For those of you who aren't already, rest assured you will be if you read enough Kaze Fitness.
Break Out of a Bad Cycle
Don't get me wrong, I know how it is to be stuck in a bad cycle, and how hard it can be to break out. Sometimes, it can take a seemingly supernatural shift to get yourself on track. Are you open enough to the idea to let it happen, or is doubt holding you back? Have faith in this. You are adding more fuel to the fire with every positive stride you make. A fire that can warm the hearts of others and light the way when their world is cold and dark.
By the virtue of nature, some people are just too busy to take any of this into consideration, and would rather put others down who aren't too inundated to follow their dreams. It's only to make themselves feel better, but it will never fill that hole in their heart. So, if you are one of the blessed few who choose to reach for the sky, spread your wings and fly my friend. Don't let anyone tell you you're being selfish.
