Must Be Nice

Years ago, I felt like I woke up one morning and there was noise about some Ellen lady. One random day, I was in my room, when I saw this chic on TV, dressed up in a suit, dancing around her set. Something about her nicely cut blonde hair, awesomely put together outfit and her awkward yet cool looking dance steps kept me watching. Soon enough she was talking to guests and I immediately I fell in love too.

I remember thinking, wow, how does someone just wake up one day and have it all. Everyone loved her personality and from nowhere,this show was the best thing since sliced bread. “Must be nice” I thought… So every time I caught the show on TV, I fell in love again and the same thoughts ran through my mind.

Well, some months ago, I was out of town for work and had just gotten back to my hotel room. I had spent the day meeting some amazing people and enjoyed every minute of it, but the life of an introvert… Walking into the silence of my hotel room gave me a joy that words can’t explain. Haha.

I got in the shower, threw on some comfy clothes and sunk into the sheets. As I scanned through the channels, something about this really old movie/show caught my eye but I couldn’t quite place it. It was from the early 90s, Lord knows what was going on but I kept watching. Suddenly I realized “Holy Crap! That’s Ellen Degeneres” wait what? She wasn’t the main actress, had a rounder face, a not so stylish haircut and she came off as just some actress :-/ I smiled to myself and thought “wow!” Somehow, I didn’t think of how much time and work she had invested before her show took off. I just saw her with a big smile and personality in present day and thought “Must be nice”.

See, it is so easy to see someone today and admire where they are now without considering where they are coming from. It’s the same deal when we see really fit people walk by us on the street or see models and actresses on TV and think “must be nice, to just wake up like that” then wish we could have it but secretly know we never can.

Truth is, some people do have genetics working in their favor but majority of the bodies you appreciate, have put in time and effort to make it happen. So know that if you invest in your fitness today… Then tomorrow you can be that person who makes people think “must be nice”. The good news is fitness is really not as complicated as they make it seem. So be so encouraged by those who are already there and be assured that you can take control of your fitness! It’s simple! Lifestyle Change, not crash diet. Let’s do this! Have a lovely weekend!
