#moveanyway

"Man it’s hot. It’s like Africa hot. Tarzan couldn’t take this kind of hot." - Biloxi Blues. Circumstances. 80's #movie quotes aside, saying it's hot in the desert is like pondering the blue of the sky. It's more than obvious... it's a conversational faux pax. A #crime against observation... As if the rest of us here in AZ somehow didn't notice. Trust me, we all have. But that doesn't mean the #work stops. Its just a #circumstance... one that will soon change. Thinking about it is about as useless as a weatherman in #Phoenix. Too many times circumstances are #elevated to reasons to stop moving, to break #positive habits and ultimately hurt your #progress. In these moments, you have an #opportunity to do one of two things: self signal that you will not tolerate #excuses or self signal that you will. Anytime you use some rationale to avoid keeping your word to yourself, you are telling yourself that you can't #trust yourself. Self signaling your own weakness. This will tear at the fabric of your #identity making you believe your are incapable. But the opposite is also true... in times of #tough circumstance when you self signal that you're going to do the work anyway, hit that workout, or walk to the #gym in 100+ degree heat: You GAIN power. You feel more trust in your ability to rely on yourself. You #moveanyway. Ultimately, increasing your self #confidence. It starts with little things. Commit to making small commitments that you will not break... soon that will radiate out into other aspects of your life. What say you? Share your wisdom below. Site + Light. J .

Move anyway. Speak anyway. Launch anyway.

// Motion. Even thousands of years ago when Plato walked the earth the importance of movement was known. It's funny really. To look around the world and see how much the ancients knew and practiced... yet could not confirm with science. In fact, much of today's science simply verifies the ancient observations. But, what I especially love about Plato's quote here is that it applies to all of life. We talk alot about the gym being a metaphor for life... the way we face hard things and #moveanyway tells us how we show up. And when shit gets hard in real-life the same holds true. No matter how you feel having the mental capacity to keep moving forward when all forces seem to be against you builds the person you are. Movement will save you. Not sitting around feeling sorry for yourself, only movement. Don't allow circumstances to drag you into a dark place for long... take control of your mind and keep moving. Movement is way out, and the way forward. N.O.I.C.T.S.Y. J. Remember: there is #norestfortheworthy Be. Do. Have...

Sometimes you train like hell. But on game day. Sometimes it’s just not enough #failfast #failforward #moveanyway https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEEEi-FgOm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15f778kmonim6

"Kites rise highest against the wind; not with it." - Winston Churchill. Congratulations are in order for this young lady. She is #crossfitnorthphoenix 's HardWodder for January. She has faced some obstacles... to put it lightly. And when I say obstacles, imagine a pathway from India, which included being practically a servant in an arranged marriage, escaping, being nearly deported and still... is the most positive, happy, and upbeat person you'll meet. She is such an amazing spirit and testament to the act of human movement inside and out. And stands as an example to all seeking more, bigger, and better. Her story gives me perspective... are my reasons for my "bad day" or playing small valid, or am I just telling myself a bullshit story to justify my inaction. I know I should be moving on what I want... so why aren't I? Do I lack the power or intrinsic will to motivate myself through these times. The internal game fails sometimes, causing the external game to suffer. Then along comes a Rushita. Reminding us all to fucking #moveanyway . Why? Because perspective. . . Remember: There is #norestfortheworthy so, by all means... move the bar. Choose to move. Choose growth. Choose daily. #hardwodder #hardwodderone #honorthework #fortunefavorsthebrave #fortesfortunajuvat #humanmovementfactory #unspecialized #unleashlove #livered #dothehardthing #100to0 Gear up ★ http://hardwodder.com .

★The #HardTruth About Meaning. "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being." - Carl Jung. You are here. Maybe by accident or intent, but that doesn't matter... You are here. Now, what will you do while you're busy being here? You have the opportunity to make something happen or watch something happen. Like the desert sky occasionally shuns it's brilliant blue for grey clouds to remind us of the duality of this life, your own dual nature is revealed as you wish for or work for the life you want. One represents light and one represents dark... and both are necessary for the contrast of experience and emotion. The contrast reminds us to be grateful for the good times, while the good times remind us that bad times are temporary. Whatever you want, whatever obstacles you face... #moveanyway toward your targets. Life is not kind to stagnant creatures. . Remember: There is #norestfortheworthy so get after it. #hardwodder #hardwodderone #honorthework #fortunefavorsthebrave #fortesfortunajuvat #humanmovementfactory #unspecialized #unleashlove #livered #dothehardthing #100to0 Gear up ★ http://hardwodder.com .

Martin Luther King once said, "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy". . He reminds us to do the hard thing. The great mistake happening in our lives right now is only happening because we took the path of least resistance. A healthy body is born of challenges. So move today. A healthy mind is born of challenges. So learn today. A healthy relationship, business, or spirituality is born of challenge... growth dictates this to us all. Yet we fight to stay safe and stagnant when we should fight to #moveanyway regardless of circumstance. When it's hard to move, think of someone who faced down a challenge... and remember yoiu were put here to do the same. Stay in #power and move anyway. Remember: There is #norestfortheworthy Choose to move. Choose growth.

"Sometimes even to live is an act of courage." - Seneca. I remember growing up dirt poor in rural Georgia for the first part of my life. Dad was going to school. Mom was working to help get him through school. The deal was this: If Mom helped Dad get through school, then when he finished she would never have to work a job again. And she hasn't. Ever. Even when times were tough and money was short, Dad kept his word. No matter what. There were times when it would have been easier to share the load, he could have backed out on his commitment and no one would have blamed him. Yet somehow, that was never an option for him. I think of this when I don't want to get something done. The courage it requires to #moveanyway when you are in a state of fear or worry or straight up doubt about your abilities to complete a task. When I don't want to write content for you, or go to the gym for me, or invest in my wife I remember this story. It re-centers me... grounds me to the moment and reminds me that quitting is a choice. I will not quit on myself and my targets... not because I'm special, but because I have the power to choose. Today is January 12th... What have you chosen to do about what you claimed to want this year?. . Remember: There is #norestfortheworthy Choose to move. Choose growth.
