“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result
of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every
victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the
enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Some days you are ahead and some days you behind...The road is long and it begins with one step...The first step. But, what motivates us to take that step or in some cases a leap of faith? Understanding this concept is my nightmare and yet my dream. I've jumped off more than my fair share of ledges scared shitless not sure where or even when I might land but always in the back of mind I knew that I would eventually land and if I wasn't balanced in my thoughts my actions wouldn't be either. So as you approach this next workout quiet your mind. Take a few moments to breath long slow and deep. Play out the workout mentally, review your movements and eliminate any doubt that may result in fear and stand in the way of your success. I'd say Good Luck but Phuck that! Get to it...
"Roll, roll me away,
won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
and I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right..."
Bob Seger
