There's No One to Perform For
In a world of likes, followers and influencers, you'd be forgiven for thinking you have an audience.
As if you're standing on stage and everyone is watching you perform.
No area is more sure of this than in fitness.
Everyone is showing off what they can do. To inspire people we say.
That's what the Ego tells us anyway.
But is that the motivation?
Sometimes I think it is.
Are we doing our training to be seen or to put in the work. Are we doing it for the sake of doing it.
That is when we're doing it right.
As Ryan Holiday says in Ego is the Enemy: there's just work to be done and lessons to be learned.
When the phone comes out to record yet another set that we're doing, of the same exercise everyone has always done, we need to pause and ask "Why am I doing this? What is the intent?"
It's okay to be proud of your achievements, but you don't need an audience to be proud.
And it's okay to motivate people.
But in fact, are you turning them off doing it?
You'd never know, it's not like you overly interact with the audience you believe you have.
Always remember: There's No One to Perform For; There's Just Work to Be Done and Lessons to Be Learned
