My mantra of the week is row well…and live. Or even simpler, seize the day and do
your absolute best. Simpler than
that, don’t be a bottom feeder.
I look around and I see the willingness to perform at the absolute bare minimum. Worse than that is the acceptance of mediocrity. Why is it okay to be in last place? Why is
it okay to slide by but then expect the same as everyone else? Why is the average person uninspired and willing to just exist? I say…row well…and live. Work for your supper!
Hard truth #1: losing sucks. Hard truth #2: not everyone wins. Hard truth #3: If you don’t want to
lose then you have to work hard. Refer back to Hard truth #1. Row well…and live.
At mile 5 of our 6.6 interval run MB (Marine buddy) looks at
me and asks, “what hurts?” My
reply is, “nothing.” He then says,
“good, let’s create some pain…respiratory pain.” Roll well…and live.
During Brazilian Jujitsu later in the morning the instructor
looks at us and says, “get in the mount, now choke him.” Row well…and live.
If you want to win…there are no shortcuts. In the end, losing really sucks.
