Find the Why 3: No better test of you

Another 18 #HIM posted in the gloom for what to be a bear of a beatdown.  I knew that I would end my 3 day exploration with the #BOP.  Its a huge test of self.  But this work out is no different that any other.  Commit to it mentally, find your Why and what drives you through obstacles and do it.

Concluding the three days of “The Why”, we focused today on self.  Why are you driven?  What is your driving force?  Is it competition, jealously, to better than the last?  Be better for ourselves?  Be better than others?  Are the choices you are making in tune with your purpose and desires?

Special shout out to Short Sale, Howitzer, Longshanks, Trucker for attending 3 workouts in a row and bearing witness to “The Why”.  Also to Fire Marshall Bill.  Board of Pain is tough on the seasoned PAX.  Its commendable for FNGs to get through it.

Had some great performances today.  A lot of Intestinal Fortitude to get through this one.  That’s the best part of the Board of Pain.  At first look, it is daunting.  But with guts, grit and determination, you push through and accomplish great things.

I enjoyed exploring “The Why” of Faith, Family, and Self.  I think I’ve only scratched the surface for myself on these topics.  Digging in and spending time thinking about my purpose and my “why” has given me more questions than answers.  I’ll be working on this for a long time to come.  Thanks to those that scratched the surface with me.

Aye!
