challenge day 2

i have been tasked with writing at least once per day for the next 365 days.  this will be harder than I thought.  it is 9pm and i am just getting around to posting.  i came home from the gym, got the kids down (jackson was kind of being an a--hole before bed), hung out with the wife for a little bit, posted on the website for our gym and now this.  we are now in the midst of owning our company outright.  we have to buckle down for the next couple of years and see where this takes us.  i seriously just thought about giving up some 401k money to get things rolling.  i really hate not being able to be in control of certain things.  i also really hate it when people assume things that are not true.  one day i hope to rid myself of the control phobia, but as of right now i still got it pretty bad.  i wish i could see into the future to tell my now self that we will be just fine and all the decisions we are making now are the right ones, or will at least lead us to the right ones.  i think i want to get into the training philosophy stuff before too long.  i mean why do trainers try to force all their clients into a mold of fitness?  what works for one doesn't work for everyone.  let us start there.

Challenge accepted

I have been reading/ rather listening to seth godin's icarus deception and i didn't like it at first.  the more i listened the more some of his ideas hit home with me.one of the things that resonated today was if you want to do something then do it.  my bane of existence is writing.  i never have time to write.  he said force yourself to write everyday no matter what.  no matter what about.  this helps you to become a better writer. i will do this.  i can do this.  oh by the way i am quitting my day job today to run crossfit full-time.  i am excited/anxious/nervous/happy/scared at the same time. maybe by writing more i can finally start to develop a personal philosophy that i have been lacking.i am really passionate about training and helping people better their lives, but not very passionate about other things- religion, politics, arguments, debating, and other worldly things.  i try to see the other side of the coins as much as i can and meet people where they are.  i want to start voicing my opinions.
