CROSS-fit #47 In it for?

Last weekend concluded the grueling test to find the fittest person on Earth.

Crossfit Games 2011 Champion, Richard Froning Jr.

The Crossfit Games 2011 held at the home depot center in the States.

Didn't catch much of it but watched all the highlights.

Congrats to big man Rich Froning Jr for taking it all.

A man who accredits most of his mental strength from his Christian Faith.

Much respect.

However, I was struck by what one of the commentators said.

"There're basically 3 types of competitors out here.

1) The people who are just thankful to make it though the preliminaries and are happy to be at the Games.

2) The people who are thankful to be here and hope that whatever event comes out are to their advantage.

3) The people whom are here to win it all, whatever happens."

I guess it's simple, some people are just happy to be where they are, to have made it thus far and wouldn't mind losing one or two battles at this stage. After all, they had never expected to reach this place.

The next are those who want to win, but just bank on 'luck'. If this topic comes out, if this situation comes out in the business venture, if I'm tasked to lead only youths, no one else, then would I be good at it.

Lastly, are those who just take the cake. Everything goes, EVERYTHING. Come what may, they're mental focus isn't just to get by or leave their fate to luck...

They make their own luck.
