If Your Goals Don’t Intimidate You a Little… You Aren’t Setting Them High Enough
The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough. -Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
Many people struggle to accomplish their goals, because the stakes aren’t high enough. Fear of failure is a reality, and it blocks the emotional commitment to really push yourself to the next level. Whether it’s a Sand & Steel Competition, a Spartan Race, or even just signing up for your first CrossFit class, fear will hold you back from achieving greatness.
I think the ability of the average athlete could be doubled if it were demanded, if the situation demanded it. – Will Durant
But CrossFit provides us more than just incredible strength and fitness, it shapes our lives so we can do more, become more.
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.- Henry Thoreau
I firmly believe that there is greatness in all of us. But to quote Michael Jordan,
You have to expect great things of yourself before you can achieve them.
You’ll never achieve more than you think is possible. And that’s where a great coach comes in. We know what you are capable of and we are your champions. But at the end of the day, nothing will work unless you do. And, if you want better results… you have to make better choices.
And that’s why, year after year, I prepare and train to complete Murph. It’s a benchmark of my fitness… a measure of how far I have come. It’s a time where I can celebrate all of your accomplishments. It’s where Commitment, Consistency and Community come together. It is the CrossFit way. And when we are all in the trenches together, when our arms and lungs are burning, and you feel like you cannot take it anymore…
I’ll remind you…
Think About Why You Started CrossFit
Health
Fitness
Strength
Friendship
Look Great Naked
Whatever your reasons, we are united in these goals… and we will finish Murph together.
-Coach Paul
