Day 330...DeFiNiTiOn...

"I BELIEVE THAT THE DEFINITION OF DEFINITION IS REINVENTION. TO NOT BE LIKE YOUR PARENTS. TO NOT BE LIKE YOUR FRIENDS. TO BE YOURSELF. COMPLETELY." ~Henry Rollins

Most of us that workout have talked about muscle definition at one time or another. That's what I'm always looking for...more definition. One thing that many average gym goers don't understand is that while it is important to lift weights...much of the muscle "definition" that people are looking for comes from being lean. You can work the muscles but if they are covered up with fat...you will never see good muscular definition.

I started thinking that defining who we are on the inside is much the same. Just as we have to take the steps necessary to see good muscular definition...working hard in the gym and losing fat...we need to have the courage to take the steps necessary to define who we can be on the inside as well. We have to be willing to be different...to struggle...to get rid of the extra fluff that conceals who we really are...who we want to be.

Decide...Do...Define.

I LOVE this post! I've been subconsciously working on getting rid of fluff for several months now. It's funny how being around some environments tend to make me a bit on the "fluffier" side, so I'm becoming more conscious of that. I want to be true to myself ALL the time. So, I'm learning to speak up more when I disagree, workout harder to push myself to be tougher, and I'm trying to figure out a good balance of when and where it's ok to be a LITTLE on the fluffy side. : )
