Some days… the hardest thing to do is to recognize the beauty and opportunity in which we live.

This waterfall is in the park that I walk every morning on my 2 mile trek.

This 63 acre park is home to every sport you can imagine, a water park, a train, gym, tennis courts, volleyball, even bocce ball and a skate park… for Christ’s sake.

In the past I have walked there, worked out there, and swam there one time… I have barely scratched the surface of the experiences I could enjoy there… So, fishing there is up next.

What about You?. See any opportunities right under your nose that you haven’t taken advantage of? Yes? Then take advantage of them.

All movement to positive experience requires a physical change. You move different, eat different, or take in different information… for no other reason than you want to make your future bigger than your past.

You die when your past is your frame of reference… when you contract as a person. When you walk around dead eyed and in a trance because you CHOSE to stop growing.

Don’t let putting you in the ground be just a formality.

Renew yourself.

#HardTruth “A man thinks that by mouthing hard words he understands hard things. – Herman Melville.

The Crossfit Games ended with @mathewfras and @tiaclair1 in the NUMBER ONE spots.

They both showed up and showed out and put in the work necessary on the biggest stage in the sport.

What we saw at the games was just the culmination of more work, more discipline, and more consistency than most can fathom.

So… With a spirit of respect and appreciation for all the athletes and their work ethics… Thank you for a great show and congratulations on your succes!

“There are no lies under load.” – HardWodder.

When the weight you move increases, whether inside or outside the gym, all will be revealed.

Where you are is black and white.

You make the lift or you don’t. You handle yourself in the game of life or you don’t.

There is no hiding.

Owning where you are is the first step to getting where you want to be.

“Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them.” – Epictetus.

It’s all about the story in your head… When you realize you can write any story you want and believe the story you create, you have mastered yourself.

Until then, you are not free.

Free yourself. Write a new story and rescue yourself now.

#HardTruth: “If you stand for something, you will always find some people for you and some against you. If you stand for nothing, you will find nobody against you, and nobody for you.” – Bill Bernbach

This is truer than ever in today’s social media society. Seeking likes literally trains you to seek nothing of great impact, for if being well liked is the goal, you will automatically be bland and your message will be neutered of any and all impact.

The weight never lies… it’s the one thing you can always count on in this world. It does not care about your stories or excuses or your long day. It just sits there daring you to pick it the fuck up. Will You… Or will your “reasons” win?

Some days I really don’t want to do the work… and in those moments, I find the opportunity to train my mind to move anyway.

Looking the part and being the part are two very different things. Bring integrity to all you do.

The last 5 months of my life have been about learning how best to step into my own power each day… All of us have a certain amount of power over ourselves and our circles, yet what the masters understand is that power can be increased or decreased by your actions each day. What one thing can you do today to step into power in your world?
