We've Got it All Wrong

We’ve Got it All Wrong

Battle of Boxes 2014 – Team Kinnick Butter in Monterrey, Mexico

We’ve got it all wrong.

…

We think CHANGE is BAD

…

We think HARD THINGS are BAD

…

We think STRUGGLE, FAILURE, & OBSTACLES are BAD

…

But that couldn’t be more wrong!

…

This is backward thinking!

…

This is lazy thinking!

…

If you don’t change, you get left in the dust.

…

If you don’t do hard things, you will never learn.

…

If you don’t…

Greatness is Doable “Yes, but the main thing is that greatness is doable. Greatness is many, many individual feats, and each of them is doable.”

Growth vs Fixed

Growth vs Fixed - Which Mindset to you have?

2014 SoCal Regional – Team Kinnick Butter – We placed 4th overall for the weekend. 1 spot from qualifying for the CrossFit Games.

“Why waste time proving over and over how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide deficiencies instead of overcoming them? Why look for friends or partners who will just shore up your self-esteem instead of ones who will also challenge you to grow?…

Quote of the Day: Difficult but possible

Quote of the Day: Difficult but possible

“Difficult but possible is the key. That’s because more difficult goals cause you to, often unconsciously, increase your effort, focus, and commitment to the goal; persist longer; and make better use of the most effective strategies.” 

― Heidi Grant Halvorson, Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals

This quote is a common theme and way of thinking that I completely buy into and how I live my life. …

Quote of the Day: Focus on the Moment “Focus on the moment, not the monsters that may or may not be up ahead.”  ― Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Adversity to Advantage…

Quote of the Day: Strength in Humility “Humility does not mean weakness, but its opposite. Leaders with mana understand the strength of humility. It allows them to connect with their deepest values and the wider world.” 

[jeremykinnick]

Quote of the Day: Struggle is not optional “Struggle is not optional—it's neurologically required: in order to get your skill circuit to fire optimally, you must by definition fire the circuit sub optimally; you must make mistakes and pay attention to those mistakes; you must slowly teach your circuit.

Quote of the Day: Circumstances & Opportunities “Success is not a random act. It arises out of a predictable and powerful set of circumstances and opportunities.”

Quote of the Day “In a wide variety of human activity, achievement is not possible without discomfort.”  ― Alex Hutchinson, Endure: Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance

Quote of the Day “We all want to win. Every athlete wants to succeed. But the ones who do are those who separate wanting from being willing to make the sacrifice that winning demands.”
