What I love the most about being the “elephant in the room”
- ... it can indeed be interesting, and LIBERATING!

Uncle Bob, a friend of mine “back in the day” (who has passed on now, unfortunately due to cancer) had this to say once to me when I was talking about saying it like it is – unafraid, and UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

Saying it like it is with scant regard for “hurting feelings” or considering “what others would think”, or whatever.

Saying it like it is in a brutally direct, honest, and EFFECTIVE manner that gets my POINT across (whether or not its acknowledged by the naysayers is another story altogether, hehe).

“The nail that sticks out often gets hammered the first”, is what my friend had to say at the time, and he was right, of course.

In true laconic Uncle Bob style he hit the nail on the head, but as he knew, and as I’ve discovered (a long, long time ago) … and as YOU on this list know, hehe, “being hammered the first” (or having a long list of folks willing to do it at the drop of a hat) ain’t necessarily a bad thing whatsoever, hehe.

And this one trait of mine has endeared me more than anything else to those that know me.

Family, friends etc, and when I say “endeared” me … I mean turned me into the elephant in the room.

You know the sort, don’t you?

That one relative that everyone does his best to AVOID, and NOT talk to, if at all possible …

That one member of the family that is pretty much the black sheep – or “skeleton” in the closet hehe (although during my corpulent lard ass days yours truly was ANYTHING BUT a skeleton) … pretty much due to NOT doing what the family wanted, and society in general “expects”

That one person that does NOT follow social mores, or at least most of them …

And so forth. You get the picture, hehe, and while this might not be a descriptor that endears itself to the majority of people reading this, I’m just fine with it, my friend.

For one, I don’t need to “prove myself” constantly to people.

Black sheeps are black sheeps for most people, and since their mind already “done” made up, hehe, I don’t have to go through all the extra effort (not that I want to) to change it for them. I keep doing my own thing, and being a caveman, and let the naysayers neigh away – hey – works for me!

Another huge thing is NO family drama to deal with, or very minimal at best. Probably my decision to live in mainland China (something which my family was very vehemently against – after all how dare I leave a “steady job” and be adventurous and follow my heart, hehe) had a LOT to do with this, but hey, I made my bed in that regard, and am glad to sleep in it as well!

And of course, it frees me up from listening to the fitness BS out there – vast majority of which doesn’t even begin to work in terms of RESULTS.

No need to go to the gym and pump/tone with the bros, hehe. No need to display my “pecs” in front of the gals.

Not that I’d do any of that anyway. Never needed to, and never will … but when you’re a black sheep, it’s easy to avoid all this, hehe.

And here’s something you might find interesting.

Virtually EVERY achiever throughout the ages – big, small or “medium – anyone that’s ever done ANYTHING OF NOTE (be that writing books – or perhaps starting a business, failing, and starting again, and so forth – or even lived life on his or her OWN terms – truly – it could be anything meaningful, really) … anyone that’s gone against the grain and dared to do so PUBLICLY has faced exactly this, or perhaps worse.

Ridicule. Scorn. Derision. Countless “lectures” from nuts that haven’t ever done anything of note in their OWN lives (the most interesting of which being me getting fitness advice back in my corpulent maximus days from someone that has hardly ever done a decent workout in his life!) …

And of course, being called the family embarrassment or black sheep, hehe.

And I’m happy to live with that, my friend – for reasons stated above!

In terms of fitness, I’m perfectly happy to do things my own way – do ‘em in a way that works – while the “general majority” run around the gyms listening to the bros and gym trainers, and post selfies on Instagram, never getting the results they want.

Hey, that’s fine by me. If you want to be the hamster running on the treadmill in terms of fitness, no problem, my friend.

But if you want “black sheep” workouts that DELIVER … and how – well – you know where to go!

And if you could make sense of this dispatch, then the first thing to do is go here and apply to be part of the black sheep family, hehe – – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

Do so now – you’ll never regret it!

Best
