Look down when you have to, look up when you're reaching, and know what looking back will cost you.

As long as you haven't given up, then you're not a failure. You are a work in progress.

You put up with less than the best, then you get less than the best. All the time.

The excuses are listed. You get no more. Either you live up to who you could be in this life, or you don't.

Because, I figure if I aim for perfection, maybe I've got a chance at getting to "pretty damn good."

Everyone has an inner firebreather. An edge inside that you can bite down on, some inner strength that gets you through the hard times, a kick-a** "I'm not flippin' quittin' now" attitude.

Ask and ye shall receive. So be damn sure of who you're asking, or you might receive the wrong thing . . .

Life is cumulative. This moment is temporary.

So, stop thinking about what you can't do and start focusing on what you could accomplish -- in CrossFit and in life.

Nobody has a fantastic everything all the time.

The answer doesn't lie in my iPhone or my Mac. The answer lies in putting all that sh** down and talking to each other in real time.

So once you've pulled yourself up, pull somebody else up.

Every choice you make either propels you along the road towards your dreams . . . or it takes you farther away.

So many people, in so many ways in life, are scared to do what they want to do. Don't be one of them. Step up.
