DO WHAT YOU KNOW: IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU
Posted by: | Comments
There’s a lot that could be taken from the last post on DNA-PK; which, to put it simply, taught us that in some people, the gene that is responsible for converting carbohydrates into fat is basically turned off – allowing them to eat pretty much what they want with out the added weight gain.
At first, I think a lot of people, myself included, had the initial reaction of frustration. We’ve all known people who eat as if there’s no tomorrow, yet they still look slim and lean and muscular. One of my best friends growing up once ate an entire cheesecake by himself yet still had a six pack at the pool the next day. Thinking about people like that – and I’m sure we all have at least one person like that in our lives – can lead us to feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.

Why should I work so hard to exercise and eat right if my body is just going to work against me?

Friends, family, random people, yourself and your own limiting beliefs, your own success barriers, events, the list could go on forever. However, the single most influential form of opposition, in my humble opinion, that stunts personal progress is a concept called SOCIAL PROOF.

I’ll also break down what it takes to start moving toward the immeasurable quality of what I call objective-self-honesty. Finally, I’ll give advice as to how we can move away from being a rationalizing excuse creator, and move toward being an objective-self-honest person.
