What do you stand for ....really

I have long been thinking about the hypocrisy that surrounds the fitness industry, as well as the newly booming coaching profession.

It seems to me that there are way too many out there who preach the *right thing* yet in their REAL, every day, lives they function in a nature that contradicts their public image/message. I.e. personally they fail to live up to the message they deliver through their words.

For those of us who are professionals in a position of an ideal/example to follow, it is our moral responsibility to live according to our words, and truly be the role-model.

I am saddened to meet people over and over again, who paint the pretty picture, speak heart-warming words, write wonderful books, yet as persons, lack the ingegrity to live up to the message they send out.

Nobody is perfect and we all have days where our performance may not be ideal. However, a person who operates with integrity from the core, and truly lives for the message they convey, will never fall short of being ethical or contradict themselves, and will never be too far from what they stand for.

I urge everyone to take a very close look at their inner world, and outer performance and make sure that the two coincide.
I also would encourage the seekers to take responsibility for the information received, ask questions, and make sure that value sought isn't just assumed for face value, but is accepted for it's validity.

Wishing you all the right premises.
