What would a stranger rate your diet from 1-10 just by looking at you from 10 feet away? How would a stranger rate what you eat every day? What kind of self control are you projecting to the world?

You can’t have anything you want. When you come from a place of desire, from a place of wanting, you are resonating that you are currently not ok. That there is a sense of lack that’s vibrating within you right now. That you are not fulfilled and the only way to become truly fulfilled is if you finally achieve that which you want. “I’ll be happy once I have that fat bank account, those material possessions, that loving relationship, that banging body, that level of success… I’ll be fine then. Right now though, until I get all of that, I am not fine.” Yet whatever you persist in will resist. Think of a time when someone clingy could not stop chasing you—how did it make you feel? Did their energy make you move in closer to them, or make you run astray? Of course, you wanted to run for the hills! It’s the same with any form of desire. The more you try to chase it, the more it will turn its back. Desiring success is a bit like a shadow; the more you pursue it, the more it turns its back on you. Rather than doing all the chasing, make it chase you. Turn your back and forget about it. Stop wanting, start willing. Start willing to work hard, start willing to perform all the daily disciplines. And here’s the biggest secret: Do so by expecting a ZERO RETURN on your investment. Start making yourself more valuable to the marketplace, without the desire to produce specific results. Detach yourself from always needing to produce specific outcomes. Only when you want for nothing will you attract everything. When you really, really want something, it sends out a message that you really, really aren’t currently ok. This resistance is what you will keep attracting into your life—not being ok. Transformation only takes place from being aware that nothing materialistic will ever make you happy. Because once you’ve achieved all of the things you thought would make you happy, the ego will naturally cause you to strive for that next thing you currently don’t have.

Recently I heard someone say they get on the scale AFTER taking their progress pics. I think this is a BRILLIANT idea. I got on the scale FIRST this week and the scale was up by quite a bit. 😳🙃 making me feel a bit frustrated. I had to remind myself that I had increased my carbs on leg day, I just had leg day and was still fatigued. Then I took my pics. 📸 Then I compared Day 1 to this week. I lost ZERO POUNDS!😳 BUT CHECK IT OUT!!!!❤️👇🏽 📸 128.4# in BOTH pics!!!! ANNNND, 2 days later almost 2# whooshed off!!!126.8# today!!! 💪🏽👏🏽💪🏽👏🏽💪🏽👏🏽💪🏽👏🏽💪🏽👏🏽 Trust the process!!!! Julie Batt

A six-pack is more than just muscle definition—it’s a testament to the journey you’ve taken and the choices you’ve made along the way. It’s the story of every temptation you said “no” to, every moment you pushed through when it would’ve been easier to quit. Each defined line speaks of self-control, each shadow shows a resilience that runs deep. To achieve that kind of physique shows what you’re made of: grit, discipline, a fire inside that can’t be extinguished. You’re the kind of person who can take on any challenge, stare discomfort in the face, and keep pushing. It’s not just about enduring pain; it’s about choosing to transform it into strength and power. And there’s something undeniably captivating about someone who can make those sacrifices, who understands the art of delayed gratification. You’re a vision of reliability, of perseverance. A six-pack can’t be bought. It’s not something you can swipe a card for or add to a cart; it’s earned, day by day, choice by choice. It’s a reflection of sacrifices made, not something you can pick up or put down on a whim. Money can’t buy the discipline it takes to show up, to put in the work, to stay consistent when no one’s watching. Every muscle of the six-pack is a brushstroke on the canvas of your character, a glimpse of your resilience. It paints a picture of someone strong and driven, someone who shows up, who follows through. The kind of person whose commitment doesn’t just stop at fitness but carries through every area of life. Because in the end, your physique is a reflection of your journey, a statement of your ability to rise above. And that’s the story your six-pack tells—a story of relentless pursuit, unwavering commitment, and the powerful person you’ve become. A six-pack is more than just a physical trait; it’s a marker of who you are inside. You’re not just building a body; you’re building character. And that can’t be bought, only earned.
