Fitness and ego.

I thought about this while in shower.
Yesterday I got my book about ego by Osho who in my opinion is a legend. Yes, a legend. I highly suggest reading this man's books.
But why fitness? Well, I'm part of it myself. I workout 3/4 times a week, I have full body bodyweight workouts with additional excercises on dip-bar, sometimes kettlebells.
So what about ego?
I thought about having a six-pack. And I was going towards it. Things were going fine, but I felt a lot of discomfort. You might as well say "But dude, discomfort is the shit! It makes you feel better afterwards!" Sure, it is true, but let's think about it. Does six pack makes me really happy?
Well, I'm not saying that someone can't have sixpack as an ultimate fitness goal but... It's a nowhere point! Don't chase the sixpack, because most likely you want to have a sixpack just to look in the mirror or show it to girls. That's ego. That ruins you.
You cut weight, you sweat just to be "cooler", just to be "better".
I say that it's sort of...Umm, bullshit! Sure, workouts are great! Fitness is GREAT! It feels magical after a good workout to grab a cup of coffee or just eat healthy foods, sure. But fitness goals should be chosen bit smarter, with less thoughts about how people view you.
So, this girl is going to look at you. She's going to say something good to you about that sixpack. Boom! Explosion in dopamine lab! You feel really good... For a minute. Then it goes away. You become addicted to this feeling, you SEEK admiration. You NEED those compliments. You ARE ruined. Well, I'm probably overdramatizing stuff, but really - think about it!
What if there's a far better goal to have in fitness? And there is one!
Do fitness without a mirror! Maintain your weight, don't run for a sixpack. All the good things will come your way anyway. You might as well have your desired sixpack, but remember - desire driven life is useless life. I say - screw all the looks! What matters is how you FEEL!
Imagine sitting in a park, it's a sunny day, you have a cup of coffee and you just sit there. Your body is not feeling uncomfotable, you're not overweight. You can run, you can jump, you can swim - you can feel free cause you're body is capable of it.
I think real strength, real power is what matters more. It won't bother you if you won't have some good looking muscles. You just will feel good cause there is no pressure upon you, meaning, that there's not even a tiny zone of comfort you have to step out of - yet - you will become stronger, you will feel better. And that motivation lasts WAY longer and is more useful.
