Are you the lion or gazelle?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20th, 2009 by GregJust got back from a wonderful trip in Orlando Florida.
For the first time I was able to experience Disney World and try out all the rides at the theme parks. An experience I will not forget.
But the purpose was not to play all weekend. The B2F team was there to learn from great business men in the fitness industry. Star players like Sean Greeley and Eric Ruth from NPE, Juan Carlos Santana from IHP, John Du Cane from Dragon Door , and many more.
One of the great lessons that I learned was from Eric Ruth who came out with an African parable that goes like this:
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the fastest lion. If he cannot, then he will be eaten.
Every morning in Africa a lion awakens. He has only one thought on his mind: To be able to run faster than the slowest gazelle. If he cannot, he will die of hunger.
It doesn’t matter whether you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up , you’d better be running.
If you look at your life are you the lion (the hunter) or the gazelle (the hunted). Both have focus when they first wake up, but the lion goes after what they want versus a gazelle runs away from what they don’t want (to be eaten)
When it comes to fitness and your health those who constantly run away (gazelle) from being over weight, having high blood pressure, etc, typically do not succeed in the long run. Eventually they get eaten.
However, those who chase after (lion) what they want on a consistent basis typically succeed in the long run and get more out of life.
So I ask you again, do you run away from things you fear or that make you uncomfortable, or do you go after what you want out of life.

What’s included in this kickstart program is 8 fat blasting workout sessions with a B2F coach, 1 metabolism analyzer, done-for-you meal plans, and unlimited e-mail coaching for just $297. This package is valued at $569 but we are slashing the price down for new clients to $297 to assist you with staying in shape when winter hits.
Are you the Lion who will go after what they want, and succeed by visiting www.b2finc.com/freeconsult.html, or are you the gazelle who runs away from your fears and makes excuses that it’s too much money or you do not have time?
Either way at least you are running, but choose wisely because one path will lead to a solution to your challenges and the other will lead you to exactly what you have now and the possibility of being caught by the Lion.
As always…
