Weight room is my life school.
How learning to lift teaches me how to live.
From my post on Thrive Global:
“Maybe a little deep for a 5AM workout. I don’t know. But I need this every single morning. I need it to feel myself. My body. My mind. My soul. I need it to ask myself again and again, “Who am I? How am I? Where am I going?”
Some days I come to show up. Just to show up. Not to set personal records but to say to myself, to say to the world,
“I’m here.
I’m not giving up.
I’m on my feet and I’m still pushing.
It’ll get better.
I’ll get stronger.
I’ll make it through.”
I’ll make it through, not because today is “THE BEST DAY EVER!”
But because I chose to lift this morning.
Because I chose to embrace life this morning.
No matter how heavy the weight gets.”
