To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge. --Summer Sanders

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell. --Buddha

To overcome a fear, here's all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway. --Peter McWilliams

Fam

Yesterday was a true Humpday wrapped in a Monday for me.. 

It was not easy with us being here on Monday, having off on Tuesday and coming back to work.  I had to fight and it wasn't easy, but rarely is anything worth doing if it's too easy right?  Some things came out of it that I wanted to share, not a preaching revelation but a solid realization.. You have to get past yourself before you get to better than yourself. 

So I went to PT yesterday and was surprised.  Yea I had a little pain, we did some work and it was hot in there... but seriously I was able to do some lunges.. not deep and not as stable as it could have been but I'd done then nonetheless.  It's a gain I made when I didn't think I could.   It's me getting past my fear of falling or fear of hurt that I could go further. 

My PT says their job is to get you to your limit and push you a little past.  I am better than I was yesterday, but fam realize not just on my own accord, I was able to stand, to balance on the bad leg with help and that's the key too ... If you don't believe you can be better or even know you ain't the best (and fam I got a big ego, I have to cause my wife would kick my butt if I wasn't!).  if you got fam, friends or duty driven folks they can assist you to push past your limits.  You got a push in me fam.  Go past where you are to where you need to be.   We need to get it in while we can. 

Stay Thirsty. Be Hungry safe and well.
