Something I have found really wholesome and beautiful about the gym and fitness community is how everyone despite being connected by this one much smaller thing has such unique and varied perspectives, motivations, reasons, and more often then not.. larger spiritual or philosophical beliefs that have guided them there.

I think seeing how everyone truly has their own unique paradigm of the everythingness of life is really special to observe. It’s also a reminder that all truths are equal and half truths— what I believe and everything that has happened to me and that I have experienced has informed my unique perspective and self and that the truths I hold are equally as true for me as the culmination of other people’s experiences make their perspective true for them. And that this means my own truth is forever a half truth devoid of everything I haven’t seen or experienced.. just like how everyone else’s truths are only half of everything else they have not seen or experienced.

I think this isn’t so much a revelation as it’s a reminder— no one knows more or less then you in a life perspective sense— just like you do not know more or less then another person. We each individually have lived, experienced, & learned things that have informed our deep truth and understanding about life and ourselves, not more or less ‘right’ then another person’s experiences have formed theirs. We are all equal in knowing only half of everything else 🙂
