Give me everything you’ve got

Jan 15, 2013 26 Comments by

Here’s why I don’t think we give everything we’ve got to what we really want: We’re too busy giving a little, to everything else.

If you were to truly give your next WOD everything you had in you to give, honestly, you would kill it. Same goes for your marriage, or your job, or your religion.

And it wasn’t until yesterday, when I demanded that she give me everything she had, did I come to realize how simple, and how difficult that really was. Almost impossible for some, like breathing for others.

It was when she was walking around her Kettlebell like a dog circles the floor before laying down. She was contemplating doing work, when she could have just been busy working.

Getting the most out of each day has nothing to do with what your willing to take on, and everything to do with what your willing to give up. That bell swings so much easier when your not weighted down with the baggage of the petty.

“I just don’t know how to get to that place,” she said after time ran out.

Is that really what it is?, I thought. Or, do we know the path better than anyone, there’s just too many things blocking its way.

We only have so much to give, thankfully, there is only so much worth giving to.

    After watching the 5am and 7am do this WOD, I knew there’s nothing good I can say except to those who come in and do it! Yes it is one of those…I have nothing left, nothing to say kind of WOD’s. 5am, you guys were amazing. Mindy and Mitchell so far the only ones to complete at least two rounds. Mitchell completed 3!
