Why "The Knockout Life?"

I understand that "The Knockout Life" needs explaining. What exactly is the knockout life? What does a knockout life look like? Who lives a knockout life?

The way I see it, there are two types of people in this world. Both types have to deal with the "hits" that keep coming from LIFE. We all deal with obstacles, set-backs, failures, trials, and tribulations, right? These things repeatedly get in our way and knock us down. This saying pretty much sums it up: You are either just coming out of hard times, you're currently in hard times, or you are about to enter hard times.

That is kind of a bleak outlook on life. Sheesh. Life can sure be difficult! But that is the truth isn't it? There's always SOMETHING coming up. (Ok- I realize this is getting sort of depressing so I'm going to get to the motivating/uplifting part of this blog entry right... meow!!!)

So back to the two types of people.

The first type is the person who REACTS to her circumstances. Takes the "hit," falls, and is defeated. This person is a victim of LIFE. This person makes excuses & lets her situations control her. She might have goals for her life, but she doesn't really BELIEVE that she can accomplish them because she can never overcome her "tough" lot in life. (Even though her lot is the same or better than the next person- that's not how SHE views it.) Sometimes this type of person feels they deserve more to be given to them because they think they've had a harder life than others. Extreme cases of this first type of person can be classified as "Black Clouds." The type of person that just can't catch a break. She is the punching bag.

The second type is the person who is PROACTIVE. She is a survivor! LIFE hits her hard over and over, and she falls, but she gets back up, ready to fight back! Imagine a boxer's stance. Dukes up. Ready. Bring it. This person does NOT make excuses. She sets goals and crushes them! She takes the same hits as the first type of person but she throws her OWN punches too. She overcomes her circumstances and decides to learn from her mistakes and failures, not to be defeated in the end. She is strong. She lives THE KNOCKOUT LIFE.

THAT is what The Knockout Life is all about. It's all about being that second type of person. My vision is for The Knockout Life is to inspire people to be that fighter. :)

The Knockout Life is about
knocking out adversity,
knocking out obesity,
knocking out excuses,
and
fighting for health,
fighting for fitness,
fighting for financial security,
fighting for hope,
fighting for the life you dreamed of having.

Because you are worth the effort. We all get knocked down. Get back up and fight.
