Show up, take the beating, don’t quit and get stronger
I’d like to think that this morning’s workout was a good metaphor for my life. I gasped for breath at times and felt like I was going to puke. I still feel like I’m going to puke.
Right now, my life’s like that, too.
But I tell you this. Looking back, the periods when I had the most growth were the periods when I was challenged the most. You either rise up or fall down when things get bad. Right now, I intend to rise up. Just like I did this morning.
When I got to my last station with Coach Clark, I hurt. I couldn’t breathe and the humidity made me light headed. But I pushed through it. I did the work. And I didn’t quit.
Surviving that gives me confidence I can handle anything life throws at me. I’m stronger for showing up and doing the work this morning. I’ve got the rest of the day under control.
I just hope hope I’m not going to puke.
Just a fan of yours.
