CROSS-FIT #135 Value Judgement

Decisions that we make, all our decisions in our lives are all an extension of ourselves.
From the smallest to the biggest of decisions, these are all value judgements that we make.
When you choose to spend time with your loved ones and not spend that extra hours in OT.
You are choosing and valuing your loved ones over money and the need to always impress.

It's not that you have NO TIME. It's just that you choose and value things in life differently.
We all have 24 hours.
We all have the same amount of time and decisions we need to make.

Bringing it to Crossfit.
When you choose the 'better opportunity' over the happiness of others, you have made a value judgement as well. You have chosen 'Worldly gains' over the vision mapped out when we first began.
In the workout, our values shape the snap decisions and subconscious decisions as well.
Before a big lift, before a big wod.
Our mental state reflects our values at that very moment.
Whether we feel full of faith or fear is very reflective in our movements and it shows.
Our values will ultimately shape our lives and this is extremely crucial in making us better people.

If you choose to come back again and again despite failure.
You're simply valuing success over comfort.

What are we willing to die for?
Those are our values.
What are you willing to live with and stand by all the way till the end without wavering?
Those are our values.

Values aren't just for the individual but also for the organization.
Whatever company you're in, organization or even box you're in.
Every decision that it makes as a whole (Likely driven by the owner or head coach) is a reflection of values as well.
If you're sharp enough, you'll catch on to it.
if the box or gym you're training in seeks to make a difference instead of getting you comfortable
Then you know you're in the right place.
