Who Do You Want To Be?

I watched this video of Kendrick Farris. He made a statement about his journey to the Olympics. He had made the decision to get there, but he was actually, just a weightlifter for an hour or two. And his lifting suffered for that. He realized he had to change his mindset. In listening to that, I realize my problem isn't my hurt knee, its my mindset.

I am a CrossFitter....not a competitive athlete. I go to the gym a few hours a day, several times a week. But, I'm not a competitor. I have fantasies of being one...but I never acted on them. If I am honest with myself, I would say that I wanted acceptance. I wanted to finally 'fit-in'...somewhere...and actually recognize that is where I belong. And in that, I realize I have been wrong.

I believe I am strong enough to compete against those other women. I have no doubt that I've got heart and can persevere. I just have to stop being scared.


Who I am today...is not who I will be tomorrow.
