Determination


Do you ever walk in, see the WOD and say, "no way, there is no way that I can do this". Yet, about a half hour later, you somehow managed to survive and succeed? It's that little thing called determination and we all harbor it somewhere deep inside us. Whether it is our inner being trying to prove that we can keep up with the young folk, or our desire to loose a little weight, or even just to feel that satisfaction of knowing you can still kick ass. Either way, we all have this little invisible force that drives us to be something more or something better, to prove to ourselves that we CAN do this. It IS hard and we all need that extra push from our coach every now and again. However, bottom line is that at the end of the day (or wod), you are the one in charge. So when those negative feelings begin to creep up on you while doing a wod, remember that you are in control. Find a way to shut that negative little devil up and kick his little butt. Find a motivation that will drive you towards success because we all have it in us. Sometimes, we just need to remember who is in charge. YOU!


Okay, so now for the cheesy moment from your sponser (aka: me): I look at each one of you and I am so impressed with the drive and determination you all hold. Yet, each one of you is different in your motivation and the direction that you take that determination. Each one of you inspires me to find a deeper drive within myself. Thank you! Don't stop ... I won't either, because I have each one of you to inspire me.
