We Major in The Minors.

On your arm is this thing called a hand.

And on your hand are these digits called fingers.

The finger’s chief role is to transport cheeto dust to your mouth. But in addition to the cheeto hack, you can use two fingers to zoom in on just about any screen.

These days, I mostly #zoomie on land.com and am seriously considering undeveloped woodland I have no intention of buying, but one can dream.

But when I zoom in on a plot of woods. It looks just like every other plot of woods. There are some trees and rocks, and it’s Arkansas, so there are at least 3 illegal deer blinds, and the owner has no idea where they came from. Which begs the question: WhyTF are THESE woods worth twice as much as the THOSE woods?

Well, I perform the magic two-finger trick, but in reverse, and what do you know? I can see what sits around those woods.

THESE woods are right outside town and have a hill with a great view.

THOSE woods are 45 minutes away from any sign of civilization (Pulaski or Washington County).

I suppose, I felt a certain way because I wasn’t seeing, :: In my worst Gatsby British accent:: “Dare I say, the forest for the trees.”

AHH, the world makes sense again, and I can get back to my Cheetos.

Years of coaching humans have taught me that we zoom in a lot.

We zoom in on organic vs. conventional, but hit our protein goals like Stevie Wonder, hitting a three-pointer in youth basketball. Try again, Stevie.

We zoom in on the few extra pounds that upset us. Zoom out, and we see that those pounds are on a body with all limbs intact, that drove in a decent car to my gym office in a prosperous city and country, during a time with no famine or alien invasion, to tell me that.

AND, no one is making us gain or lose weight. It’s a choice, and we have time.

If we major in the minors, we get stuck in the minors. We’re polishing the rims of a car that doesn’t run. We’re selling grills when Paul Wall hasn’t rapped in years!

Energy goes where focus flows.

Get your protein. Eat stuff  that grew or was alive not long ago, 80% of the time. Practice putting the phone down and picking up something that brings you non-toxic happiness. Drink 👏 Your 👏 Water 👏.

I conted if you do this for 2 weeks, 95% of minor problems resolve themselves.

Zoom out.

If you want help getting perspective on your fitness and health, I have a gym and coaching service where I pretend to be funny…

Have fun,
