“It takes courage to praise someone – and not everyone has it.”
A simple line, yet it holds profound truth.
In the world of health and fitness—where progress is often flaunted on social media—it has become easy to compare, judge, or even disregard someone else’s efforts. But what truly sets strong people apart is their ability to celebrate others. Because fitness is personal, and each journey is uniquely valid.
Fitness Isn’t Just About Abs
Let’s be honest—visible abs get attention. For many, they’re a sign of dedication, discipline, or even healing. But it’s important to understand: not everyone is chasing abs, and having abs doesn’t define fitness.
- Some people want to feel stronger.
- Some want to heal from illness or injury.
- Others want better mental clarity or emotional balance.
- And yes, some are chasing aesthetics — and that’s completely okay.
Just like life, fitness goals are diverse. And each one deserves the same level of respect and recognition.
Respect Every Goal – Seen or Unseen
What we often fail to acknowledge is that not all victories are visible.
- That person going for walks every evening? They’re improving their cardiovascular health.
- That mom doing yoga during nap time? She’s reclaiming her identity and peace.
- That office-goer choosing dal-rice over fried food? That’s mindful eating in action.
- That person with six-pack abs? It may represent a long, painful journey of recovery or growth.
So whether someone is lifting heavy, doing 10k steps a day, managing PCOS, or reversing diabetes—their effort is valid and worthy.
Why It’s Important to Praise Others
In a world full of critics, be someone who appreciates.
Praising someone doesn’t mean you’re less than them. In fact, it reflects your emotional strength and positive mindset.
Every time you clap for someone’s progress, you:
- Create a supportive environment
- Encourage consistency
- Reduce comparison culture
- Empower others (and yourself) to keep going
Fitness isn’t just a body game. It’s a mindset, habit, and journey.
Let’s Normalize This Truth:
Strong doesn’t always look the same. But strong always feels good.
So instead of asking “why abs?”, ask “how far have they come?”.
Instead of judging goals, start celebrating discipline.
Let’s lift each other up. Because when we do, we all rise higher.
Final Words:
The next time you see someone sticking to their goals—whether it’s weight loss, strength gain, better habits, or visible transformation—say something good.
Because praising others is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of wisdom.
“Your words might be the reason someone doesn’t quit today.”
