Golf....not a sport.

I decided today that Golf doesn't qualify so much as a sport as just a game. Nonetheless getting up ridiculously early to spend 5 hours getting frustrated has it's moments.

I didn't actually get the opportunity today to train but i was thinking more about the comment I mentioned at the end of yesterday's post about strength and will.
I came across this little revelation almost at the completion of my workout, well, at a few points technically but it dawned on me mostly through the burpees. Now as some may know, and even understand, pushing yourself at an intense level can cause a fairly emotional response and mine resulted in me understanding all of a sudden, that we as men and woman, humans, have the strength. We always have the strength. Physical, menatal, spiritual. To achieve whatever we want.
What we seem to lack though, at times, is the will and this blew my mind mid burpees.
To push through 50 burpees unanswered at the end of a workout is a demanding task and it's very easy to stop and pause for air, and it crossed my mind no doubt there.
But what I found is that even though my heart was pumping and I was physically challenged to my limits therefore allowing the excuse "I can't do it" to creep in, I still completed it purely because my mind was set so much on completing it.

Will is described as the power to choose one's own actions. We all have the choice to achieve what we want, we also have the choice to give up.

People don't lack the strength, it's finding the will to do it.
Challenge yourself, do it, will it to happen, YOU have the strength. Now choose to use it.
