...’cuz Sometimes, It’s Not Just About ME!

So I threw a few thoughts together so everyone knows where I am coming from as far as the next few big moves in my life taking place are concerned:

“It’s time to put a few things into perspective. As much as I love the drawings, the workouts and the phrase ‘CROSS THAT LINE’, in the long run, it’s somewhat irrelevant. I’m not speaking on behalf of Threeestyle Fitness or Chuck Diez or any other affiliate I’m involved with. This is Nelson; 5’3, buck fifty pounder dude that shaves only when his face gets itchy or is sick of putting gel in his hair. It’s so easy in life to get caught up in the politics, the dramas, the catch phrases and flashy ads in life, but at the end of the day it’s just you. Living. Breathing. Eating. Sleeping. The important thing though is that you APPRECIATE the fact that you can do all those things, and you can do them comfortably, because there’s a lot of people who can’t.

So as you read this note, or as you ignore it and hope on the couch and turn on the tube, or as you take the plastic in your wall it and swipe it somewhere, remember there are people out there who don’t have those luxuries and you CAN DO SOMETHING TO HELP THEM!

We live in a society that is very fast-paced, very go go go. So fast that we don’t give ourselves time to slow it down and enjoy and appreciate what we DO have. We are so caught up in making money and getting ahead in our own lives that we sometimes forget about the people who don’t have those same opportunities. Please notice how I keep saying we, because I’m totally guilty of this.

I’ve spent the last, let’s say, four years of my life (though it’s probably been longer)OBSESSED with 1. Having a career, 2. Getting ahead in my career, and 3. Excelling in the field(s) I’m in that I forget that I’ve done more in the last two years that a lot of people have done in the last 5-10 years in their respective industries of choice. I’m just upset it’s taken this long for me to realize it. So now it’s time to give back...

...I hope if you are reading this you agree with me and want to help make a change in someone else’s life. I know there are people who will be reading this that are already doing so, and I thank you. All I hope to do is spark a change for the better. It’s why I do what I do, the rest is a bonus! I try not to watch the news, because it’s never anything good, and from the looks of things it’s only going to get worse because we’re too comfortable to change it. So as I tell my clients, my groups and anyone else who asks, get out of your comfort zone and please make a difference. I’m not gonna tell you who, where or how to do it, I’ll let you figure that one out yourselves. I’m just saying if we all give it a shot, then we have a fighting chance at making the world better.”

I needed to get that out. If you want to help and you’re not too sure how, then feel free to email me at my personal email address (and I NEVER give this one out): nelson.bolarinho@gmail.com. I will be participating with some of my affiliates in the near future in raising money for certain causes, but I wish not to use this as a forum to advertise any of them as that is not the intent of this note, so I won’t be mentioning any names. If you email me, I will advertise for them. In the end, it’s not about me, it’s about US!

Thanks for reading this one guys, now back to the grind.
