Have you ever tried to improve yourself somehow, either in the gym, the classroom, studying some personal development, learning a new trade, only to have people (many of them friends, families, or partners) knock you down and hate on you?

This is one of those things that makes my blood boil.  Unfortunately I see it all the time as a trainer.  I often have clients come in who are doing their best to change their lives, get healthy, lose fat, gain muscle, and they’ve got someone at home belittling them and sabotaging them.

And you know what?  A lot of them end up apologizing for DARING to try to make themselves better.

That makes me furious.

I don’t throw the word “right” around very often, but you have a right in this world to try to be better and to make yourself better, if you so choose.  Don’t you dare apologize to anyone who makes you feel like you don’t.
