Why do I succeed?

I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and then swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from within. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never stop getting better. I will never give up... EVER.

That is why I succeed.

Walk in the park

Life is not always a walk in the park. In fact, life is just plain difficult at times. Yet, we all have what it takes to make it through. We just have to be willing to work for it. Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours. It will not be easy, but it will be worth it. Remember this... No man fails who does his best. Are you doing your best?

I look at every new day as an opportunity to do great things. I will always give 100% of what I can give... some days I may not be able to push as hard as the day before, but as long as I give all I can on that particular day then that's all that matters. With the CrossFit sectionals less than a week away I feel very confident in my ability. But no matter how I do I will not be ashamed of my performance. More than anything I am just excited about the opportunity to meet other competitors and learn from some of the best athletes in the world!
