What you do there is overrated, friend!
My gym installed this mat recently.
Yes, this new mat WAS installed soon after I purchased a membership there, but that is OBVIOUSLY a coincidence, okay! I can’t believe you think there’s any relationship between these two dissociated events! Yes, this article is partially about having a big ego, AND about having a big ego at the gym.
Join people in over fifty countries who read this to gain valuable life wisdom! (Or maybe they’re just laughing at me? . . . Whatever!)
BUT I’m talking about a GOOD, HELPFUL type of huge ego!
YES! It IS the kind of ego that looks down on others, but NOT RIGHT AWAY. So, give me the benefit of the doubt, people!
For those of you who haven’t slammed your laptop closed yet, let’s dive into four helpful tips from today’s article.
But first, here is an astonishing fact:
People, it’s not that hard to go to the gym.
Really. I just went there. It was, like, 20 minutes of work in a half-hour class, and the rest was stretching and stuff.
20 minutes in a day with 1,440 minutes. That’s 0.01% of your day1. Come on, people!
The only reason why going to the gym is so hard is that you do too much!
And why do you do too much? Well, it’s probably because, like me, you’re a smidgen self-conscious2 when you lift tiny weights, and everyone else has medium (or even large) weights. But don’t get rid of that ego, friend! No! Just be like me and use your unhealthy pride to your own advantage!
What do I mean?
The thing with me is that I know that I’m prideful3. And so, then if I can talk about having an exceptional ego, then it doesn’t control me. And I can realize that my big ego is trying to stop me from going to the gym.
And then I can step on that ego and say, “No! You’re not stopping me from going to the gym! I’m going to go even if I look like a complete loser!” And then I can end up going to the gym.
And then I can be more prideful than others because I’m stronger than others after several months, so I’m actually more prideful in the end.
So this is what you should do:
(1) Actually get to the gym. Even if you are still in your pajamas. Good job!
(2) Remember that THE POINT of being at the gym is to look down on others, but LATER! Keep this in the back of your mind! Let your unhealthy ego fuel you into healthy habits!
Stop being prideful NOW so you can be more prideful later when it really matters!
(3) Don’t worry about lifting heavy weights or doing so much when you’re there! That part is overrated anyway, in my experience!
What you DO at the gym doesn’t actually matter!
(4) And don’t worry about looking like an idiot when you’re there! Yes, you’re not going to be very strong. Get over it! Of course, you’re not very strong! People there have done a lot more work than you. It’s like you’re sitting next to a concert pianist, and you’re sitting there next to them, learning the scales on the piano and wondering why you’re not that good.
Well, yes, you’re not that good, but you’ll get better every time you go, right?
And then you may even find a new vision for yourself!
This encouraging quote below is a partial4 fit with the main point of this article today, but that’s all I got.

4 You can’t expect EVERYONE to agree with my extraordinarily helpful advice, anyway -And so there may not be quite as many free quotes that AI can find that line up EXACTLY with my main point.
