Let me introduce you to a new term that perhaps you arent familiar with. Idée fixe is a French term meaning a preoccupation of the mind. The dedicated have chosen what to be preoccupied with. This might look like obsession, which has become a negative thing among those who lack passion or think complacency is acceptable. But those who are persistent and unremitting dont give a crap if they look obsessed to outsiders. Some people obsess over video games, collecting coins, hoarding cats, or collecting Elvis Presley memorabilia. The persistent and unremitting have chosen to be obsessed with building muscle, working hard, and practicing discipline. Call them shallow. Call them weird. Call them selfish. But you also have to call them successful. And what better thing to invest in than your health? In 2015 lets practice being persistent and unremitting: Persistant and unremitting isnt about destructive behaviour, being a martyr, a bad sister, or a reckless employee in order to become more muscular. Its about taking care of yourself in order to live better and serve others better. Its about becoming more reliable and self-assured. And its about taking constructive action when times get rough. Can the relentless pursuit of muscle and health mess people up and make their lives worse? Well, if you go about it like an idiot, anything can make your life worse. You dont have to sacrifice your relationships, sanity, or faith in order to love working out and eating well. You just have to believe in your potential, take the onus to do something about it, and trust that your hard work will pay off. Itll require you to reject the temptation to coddle the discipline out of your life or waste time being offended by critics. But the world will end up with a better version of you, and instead of being subdued by potential failures youll be emboldened by them. So I implore all you FIO readers to take this on board this year and take real responsibility for your actions, dont settle for mediocrity and above all be PERSISTANT and UNREMITTING!!!
