My first solid front flip.. too bad I landed wrong with my right foot.. still swollen lol..
Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good books tell you there’s a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style, park your own car out front.

Fight Gone Bad 6On September 17, 2011, CrossFitters from around the world will come together to endure 17 minutes of one of our most grueling workouts in honor of those men and women who have given a lifetime of service and sacrifice. For 17 minutes, we will push ourselves further, challenge ourselves deeper, feel the doubt and wonder if we can make it, but then remember why we are there and appreciate fully those who we wish to honor. We turn to you, our community of friends and family, to join us by donating what you can or what you are inspired to give to two phenomenal organizations that provide immediate and measurable support without waste or delay. The heart of an athlete can change the game. The soul of an athlete can change the world. Will you support my 17 minutes?

There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

meaning of life?
What I believe as the meaning in life.. most would spout selfish answers and I admit that I have in the past. Such answers like “to find love.” Or “to find happiness.” I had said those many times. But recently I have began to understand that those answers are extremely narrow views on a greater whole. The meaning of life is not to do what we wish. Not to seek out our own personal gains. It is for the pursuit of bettering our race and world as a whole. The improvement of what our species has been given. To help all and not just ourselves. So that all might be happy rather than just a few. That is what I believe is the meaning of life..
What is hell?” I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.

I have lost you…
The pain strikes me deeply. Tears running down my face silently crying In a room alone to hide the pain Pride forgotten in a moment of ky own making Through our unique link I have felt it You have left me behind. Though it was I who push you away. So I could never blame you It was my choice to let you be freenever to be confined by indecision I have felt it now. You have gone Made the choice I thought best for you Thought it was not with me I shall bottle the pain Only to open it when I think no one is watching.
The end of a workout is the same as the end of the day. The only thing that matters is did u make a difference? #CrossFit
