Turning Obstacles into Stepping Stones
When you're a man down, it's time to man up! In this episode I talk about the challenge I was faced with work and how my fitness journey with Crossfit training helped me become stronger and better. When work or life situations get tough, it is easy to see it as an obstacle in your life to your dreams and goals. But with the right attitude and mindset, you see how you can use your current environment, your situation to your advantage. In this case, I took my labor intensive job and turned it into a prime training ground for my fitness pursuit. I take the opportunities to move, lift and carry more and actually enjoy it more. It is because of my desire to fulfil my physical potential that made me see the this situation as something 'on the way' rather than 'in the way'. To sum it up, three great reasons to get fit: To make life easier, to make life more enjoyable and it makes you more useful. And it is not just your physical condition that improves, but your mindset and attitude towards life and how you handle what life has to present to you each day!
