Rich Roll

It's like, I don't need to prove anything to anyone.

I'm doing this as an act of honoring myself.

How can I love myself by getting fit and seeing what's possible and modeling

an aspirationally fit lifestyle at my age.

I think a lot about that.

And I think a lot about my responsibility to the audience and the people that follow me to make sure that I'm doing it for the right reasons and that my why is intact.

And I'm human.

I have vanity.

I don't like being fat.

I like the fact that I've lost this weight and I'm fit and I can wear a tank top and not be embarrassed.

I like the vanity aspect of it too.

I'm not immune from any of that.

But I think my motivations are really coming from this...

I used to be very hard on like, I have to like do this to like prove my value and my worthiness.

And I don't feel that anymore.

And it's more like a self-reverential practice.

And so I have a different, I have a more evolved relationship with it.

And that actually makes it easier to go in and do it every day because it doesn't feel burdensome or tied to some kind of external thing that I'm chasing, some external reward.

It's not results.

It's not outcome-oriented or focused.
