Become What You Pursue With Your Fat Loss Goals
By Scott Tousignant, BHK, CFC

What you are about to read is an excerpt from an interview that I did with Jon Benson from the MP3 audio program, Unstoppable Fat Loss. If you adopt the mindset that we cover below and apply it to your workouts and nutrition plan, you can expect success and amazing results.
Jon: Knowledge is not the problem Scott. Knowledge has never been the problem. Knowledge is not power. The application of knowledge is power. The inspired application of knowledge is genius.
Scott: Ah, yes.
Jon: And this is the catalyst that we want to go for. Everyone out there has the potentiality for genius. I'm not talking about an IQ over 140. I'm talking about genius within your own frame of reference, meaning that you can do something that exceeds your own expectations, exceeds your own concept of who and what you can become. In that sense, you're acting in the whole realm of genius, and that's what I call "inspired action." There's a big difference between that and what most people do.
So, if I had to say other than certainty, what's holding someone back from achieving their dream body, it starts with small goals and small vision. Now, most people will tell you: "Oh, set up small goals. That's a good thing" right?
No… that's a lousy thing Scott! That's a really lousy thing, especially for someone relatively intelligent. The people out there listening to you and I talk right now, most of people out there are intelligent. I think the "small goal, baby step" mentality toward this stuff is what holds people back.
Now, I'm all for baby steps when it comes to just changing a few things in your food plan, etc., but that's not your goal. Your goal isn't to change something in your food plan; your goal is much larger. Your goal is a vision of what you want your destiny to be, what you want your life to be, what you want your legacy to be. This is a lot larger than dropping 20 pounds for your high school reunion. If anyone out there listening to me right now says, "My destiny. On my tombstone, I want my epitaph to read: That guy lost 20 pounds for his high school reunion." I'll tell you, what a guy!"
If that's your goal, just log off this call right now because you're not going to get anything out of the rest of it! I think most people out there want something far, far, far greater, and that is what's holding you back.
Scott: For sure!
Jon: You must adopt the largest vision possible for you life. The way that you do that, is by starting with your core values. What already exists within each and every one of us. It's already far larger, then you are. Everyone out there listening to me has this. For example, everyone out there listening to me right now, probably values love, family, faith and freedom, far more than you value yourself.
Scott: Absolutely!
Jon: Most people would die for those things.
Scott: For sure!
Jon: OK, on some level you have something you would live and die for. Those are your core values. Now, what if you could take those core values, that already exist, and link them, through what I call core leveraging, to any goal you want. And all of that, quote unquote, dropping 120 pounds of fat became “I'm going to increase my freedom, in my life, by doing something else.” And that became a mechanism, a catalyst for doing nothing but increasing what you already possess. Then it becomes something much more enjoyable. It becomes something, what I call a state of becoming.
Scott: Sweet!
Jon: It's inspiration over will power. Once you develop that larger vision, you become inspired. Inspiration is much stronger than will power. Will power is short term. Will power is the crack cocaine of mental stability, man. I mean, will power is great, don't get me wrong, everybody needs a little bit of will power. But, you know what, it's not the long‑term thing. Inspiration, I'm talking about ongoing inspiration, not an inspired moment where you do something, but ongoing inspiration is the real deal. Let me give an example, if I can Scott, and I'm rambling on and on here...
Scott: Sure.
Jon: ...so feel free to stop me, but this is a passionate subject for me. Think about this, how much will power did it take you to get up and take a shower in the morning?
Scott: Nothing, it was automatic.
Jon: Probably not a heck of a lot of will power, unless you got a problem showering. Or how about when you're hungry to eat? Now, what these are, these are pools that our body is naturally pulling us towards. They feel inspired. And the hungrier you get the more inspired you are to get food. And let me tell you what I mean by inspiration. When you're really hungry, you're going to get really creative on what you can eat. I mean, if you're really hungry and you're stuck at home, and you've got nothing but vegetables in the refrigerator, you'll figure out a way to eat that stuff and satisfy your appetite, because the hunger is the inspiring drive.
What if you could do the same thing about your workouts? The same thing about eating exactly what you need to do to achieve the body you want. That is totally possible, if everyone listened to me right now. All it takes is understanding what your core levers and your core values are, leveraging them to the point to where they become so large that you are just automatically inspired. I mean, I've got clients that don't believe this but, once they actually believe, I mean, they actually believe. It's not that they're believing a lie, they're actually believing the truth. That their workouts and their body fat levels, are directly tied to the happiness of their children.
Scott: Wow.
Jon: And you want to know why? They are.
Scott: Wow.
Jon: They are because if you guys have children and girls have children, listening to me right now, unless you want your kids to grow up, cut 15 years off the life of their parents and have abysmally low energy levels even when you are around. Or take care of you, way before your time. When they themselves are adults. You see how all this is tied together?
Scott: Mm‑hmm.
Jon: Oh, now I don't want to become a guilt trip. It can become an enjoyable thing. I just want to give my kids the most energetic parent that they can possibly want.
Scott: Right.
Jon: So all of a sudden, dropping the body weight, or what I call shedding body fat, becomes, "Wow, I'm really giving this gift to my child."
Scott: Mm‑hmm.
Jon: Now, which is larger? Giving a gift to your child by going to the gym? Or, going to the gym to get ready for your high school reunion?
Scott: Oh, yeah. It's not even comparable.
Jon: There's no comparison. But once you realize that that's the truth, it's not some sort of pump you up motivation kind of nonsense. This is real. Truthful thinking is where it's at. Because this is the absolute truth. It is absolutely true that your children's well being depends on you. And the more fit you become, the more you can give them. So this is just a small fraction of what I'm talking about. When that happens, yeah, nothing holds you back.
Scott: Right.
Jon: And the last thing that I would say that holds people back is they refuse to admit and acknowledge the power of intention and decision.
Let me clarify that. When you truly decide something, you sever all possibility of the alternative. You must honor that ability to make a decision; you must honor the power that comes within that. Once you make a decision, and make what I call an "intention." You declare an intention to the universe, to God, to your family, to whomever you want. You declare an intention, a direction that you're going to go at the cost of whatever ‑‑ the ethical cost of anything. All of that, if supported, highly, highly increases efficiency by adopting and empowering your core values.
Scott, I think you asked me once what successful people are doing that others aren't?
Scott: Right.
Jon: One of the things that they do is they become; they don't pursue. Successful people become. Donald Trump doesn't pursue in real estate. Donald Trump became real estate. He became a mogul; he became completely absorbed in it. It is his identity.
Now, if you take a look at truly successful people, people who are very balanced, they become what they pursue. They don't just pursue something. They don't dabble; they master. And that is key when it comes down to fitness, because fitness is something that each one of us must become in order to achieve and maintain, almost effortlessly, for the rest of your life.
If you dabble in it, believe you me, anything and everything will get in the way…
