M6:D56 (D534) Seeking the living among the dead

What's on my mind today?

I want to give you advanced warning that today’s post contains some religious elements and if those types of discussions offend you, stop reading this post now.

Today is Easter and it is a huge reason to celebrate.  This is the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead.  He shocked His followers by fulfilling 29 prophecies in just 24 hours.  They came to His tomb expecting Him to be dead.

”And as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them ‘Why do you seek the living One among the dead?’” (Luke 24:5)

The message is clear.  Jesus is alive.  He is no longer in the tomb.  The man whom these women expected to find dead is actual living.

As I thought about this passage from the Bible today on Easter Sunday, I realized that it applies to alot of people and their pursuit of fitness goals.  They are going to the wrong place for their information.  It is no surprise since the internet is a mass of confusion, especially where it comes to fitness.  My advice is to seek your information from the doers. 

If someone has been an undefeated champion, I’d say you should listen to them.  If someone has reached the pinnacle of their sport 6 times by winning the national championship, I’d say you should listen to them.  Stop seeking the living among the dead.  Get your information from the people who have been there and can sincerely answer your questions.  If possible, learn directly from them and if not, learn from those they have mentored.

Remember, a good mentor equips his pupils to succeed on their own.  This means teaching them the principles of success that worked for the mentor.  There are three people I can think of who have wonderful credentials in this area:

Carlos DeJesus
Skip La Cour
Tom Venuto

These are all men who have lived the information they are providing.  They are extremely knowledgeable and have a wealth of information that can bring you to the next level.  They are the living among the dead in the fitness industry.  Then there are those who have learned from these people (like Marc David) who are also a wealth of good information and advice.

If you are seeking your salvation and eternal life, look to the One who rose from the dead.  Look towards the living God and not the dead.  If you are seeking a better body, get your lessons from those who have lived the lifestyle you want.
