“All that truly matters in the end is that you loved,” he added in his list of life lessons, before concluding his post: “Everything happens for a reason trust in god.”
His last message to his followers was a compelling testament to his philosophy – urging his fans to take action in order to improve their lives. “Outwork your self-doubt,” he wrote. “Concrete your self-identity through perpetual action geared toward self-development.”
“Your opinion of you far outweighs othersβ opinion of you,” he continued. Respect starts with how you view yourself. Do it for you.”
Tippetβs influence extended beyond fitness; he was candid about his turbulent past, including battles with steroid addiction and legal troubles that culminated in a transformative reckoning with his lifestyle.
