80/20 Rules

The 80/20 rule is an across the board observation a clever man made when he viewed the world and peoples interaction with it all around him.  I was at the gym and I realized I am a part of a rather rare and wonderful group of 20%ers, we are the people who work out while 80% of the population does not.  I am a part of the elite group of folks who are considered fit, and since I have earned this rather lovely label, I am perfectly comfortable in claiming it as my own.  This is because my fitness is no accident, it is a choice and I choose it regularly which means I get to say thank you when someone tells me I look good. I work as a personal trainer and within the group of trainers that I have observed, they too fall into the 80/20 categories of fitness, just like the rest of the population, with only 20% of them being able to claim fitness as the reward for their hard work and time in for their own wellness, and it shows, for as many trainers that are fit, there are many more that are fat.  This brings me to the money monster lucky~this monster is a slacker and tries to convince people that the 20% who have it made got lucky somehow, that they have something you and I don't have, that health, wellness, money, fitness is for the few and the few have more resources to acquire what they have and it can never be yours, can never be mine. Check it out, in your office, at home, at the gym, it's the 20%ers that say they are going to get a job done and they work and work until it happens, luck doesn't exist and is like fools gold.  Work is real, it's hard, it's worth it.
