CROSS-fit #3 Looking Up

Ever had instances in your life where things just SUCKED.

Like everything around you seems to be falling apart.

You can't seem to be proud of anything in your life and desires/passions simply leave your spirit.

Wherever you go, life just seems to be another slump.

It's human nature, when people get tired, they look down.

In the WOD, when you've spent almost all the energy you've got inside of you...

Their hands go to their knees, some even collapse and they all look down.

Maybe there're some biological reasons to that but to me, that's a clear sign of,

"I'm extremely down and out, I'm looking down, I need a long break".

Strangely, in the WOD, don't keep looking down.

Don't look down at the weights, they'll just discourage you, throw you off balance.

Don't look down at the puddle of sweat accumulating cause you've got a whole lot more in that tank of yours.

Don't look down upon yourself, cause You can do it, You were made to succeed.

Look up, look ahead, look forward.

(Apart from the real effects of opening your lungs and helps you breathe easier)

Sum up that courage inside of you. Being in self pity won't help you one bit.

Nobody is going to pick it up for you, telling yourself you can't, won't help at all.

Look up, be strong, be courageous.

"For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind."

When you're in the gutter, when you can't hold on no longer.

Don't look down for comfort, look up for strength.

Ps. Amazing effort from Camille today. Inspiring.
