The Real Problem of Time
"These images represent the real world most people live in. Priorities and time management not withstanding, things get overwhelming. Often. We all know it. The modern era of fitness sells a fantasy. The fantasy is we can always make time. Stop listening to lies. Here is the real truth.
Time frequently goes to zero, and for long periods.
If you honestly inventory your own life history you can readily see this is the real truth.
GETTING REAL ABOUT TIME
To understand what really happens over the long term requires a perspective that encompasses the realities you will face across decades. This requires hyper honesty. The transitions from carefree and single, to roles and responsibilities, aging and injuries, drive very real seasons of life. These seasons exert very real pressure on any system or to-do list you may subscribe to. A foundation built on fitness fantasy always collapses under the weight of life’s real pressures.
The foundation of staying younger, longer, is poured with the truth of what happens over time. I have seen how the decades play out. Here is what is fake.
FITNESS FANTASY - THE BLUE PILL
- You can solve the problem of time with priorities and time management.
- You will get in shape and stay there.
- You can always make time.
- If you get in your best shape you solved the problem.
None of this is true. It never was. You want real truth?
THE RED PILL
- You will have long seasons of being “off track.”
- Getting in top shape means absolutely nothing long term.
- Your primary role creates probabilities that overpower priorities.
- Getting in shape can and does drive long term weight gain.
This is what is really true. And it’s the first time anyone has ever laid out what is really true."
