Important lessons learned from my strength competition yesterday (PIC Included)
Published: Sun, 08/25/13
So, if you saw my email from yesterday,
you know that I had a big Cross Fit
strength competition yesterday.
And I promised that I would let you know
what happens so here you go.
What happened is...
It turned out to be one of the most
amazing experiences in my life.
Here's why...
I almost didn't enter because, due to a
surgery that I had a few years ago, my core
is very weak and I often can't keep up with
other people (especially Cross Fit people). :)
One of my coaches encouraged me to
compete, so I decided to do it (I've been
really nervous ever since I made that decision).
Then I threw my back out earlier in the
week which was perfect because it could
have easily been the perfect excuse for me
to throw in the towel and bow out of the
competition.
But instead, I went to the chiropractor a
couple of times and have been doing different
types of therapy so that I could make it to
the competition today.
When I got there, rather then getting
discouraged because I'm not as strong as
most people, I reminded myself that...
the only person I'm competing
against is MYSELF.
I remembered that it doesn't matter how
I compare to others... all that matters is
that I continue to push myself and have
personal breakthroughs.
In the end, I had a lot of fun AND I broke
my personal record (also known as a PR in
Cross Fit) in all 3 categories of the competition.
I also came in 6th place. :)
Here's a picture taken during the back
squat category of the competition:
And here are the lessons I learned
yesterday:
1) Most of the time, the limitations we
place on ourselves aren't even real.
Sometimes we just need someone to believe
in us more than we believe in ourselves
(my coach, in this case).
2) Never give up on your dreams.
Often times when we are really
committed to something, obstacles will
show up to test our commitment (throwing
out my back, in this case).
My experience has been that when I
push past the obstacles, the Universe
delivers... pretty much every time.
3) Like the sign says that hangs in my
office,
"Good things happen to those who
go for it."
Or, another way to say it is,
"You can't win if you don't play the game."
(Had I chosen to stay in my comfort zone
and not enter the contest, I wouldn't have
had this amazing experience or any of these
breakthroughs).
It was an awesome day, to say the least... and
I can't wait for the next competition. :)
Here are some take-aways I wanted to
pass along to you in regard to these
lessons...
1- Maybe you just need someone to believe
in you more than you believe in yourself...
a mentor.
You can join me here today and get access
to me and the rest of our leadership council
who are all committed to helping you
breakthrough in your life.
2- Maybe you have obstacles in your way
of getting started. When you push past those
obstacles and just get started, the Universe
will back you up.
3- Are you ready to 'get in the game' and start
winning? Or are you going to stay on the
sidelines and keep playing small?
I really hope you see that you have an amazing
opportunity to have a mentor, move past your
obstacles, and to get in the game.
And, when you do...
