…continued from “My Demise”
The mindset started to change
From other’s perception
to my own reality
From looking good
To feeling better
From looking strong
To being stronger
A notion that consumed me
Performance
Mental and Physical Performance
An elevation of life
To push boundaries
To escape comfort
And to live a life worth living
Weight loss
Muscle gain
Blah
It was becoming bigger than that
I needed to test my performance
and figure out my flaws
I needed a call to action
A journey
A path
A road that led to battle
A clear wish often becomes reality
And reality was right in front of me
The Spartan Home Page
An overview of obstacles
Of stories
Of battlegrounds
And then the date
3 months away
The open race that meant nothing would be fun
The elite race that puts it all on the line would be outright embarrassing
I’ve taken the easy route before
Too many times
And I’m after something different
Something that will make me feel better
About being me
Elite Mens Race it was
Time to kick it up…
Making the decision to change is step 1. Following in love with the Process is step 2. Battling setbacks is an inevitable step 3. Pushing new boundaries is Step 4. You can and will do THIS.
