Happiness in Peculiar Places

When I started writing I was writing to figure out who I was as a former athlete, as a professional, as a person. Being in the Box day in and day out and challenging myself every single time I walk through the gyms doors I have learned countless times over little things about what it means to be me. I used to spend too much time looking at the lives of others wondering what it would be like to be in their shoes. Instead of looking at myself and deciding how I was going to reach my goals and how to better myself. I didn't know what I needed or what I wanted but in an incredibly successful attempt to be happy in my own life. I put my heart into Crossfit, and that in itself was the best decision I ever made. I am a better person now then I was a year ago. I am a happier person now then I was a year ago. I am a more confident person now then I was a year ago. I didn't know what I needed but I found it in the most unlikely place. So What? There is something out there, something peculiar that will give you a different view point of your own life and how you are living it. It may not be Crossfit for everyone, but there is something. Find that thing, and live your life full in every aspect of the phrase.

Check out this story from the Sydney Morning Herald, this is my Uncle Chris. He is a lifelong athlete, not just a swimmer but a runner too. This guy has been a very big part of my own life as an athlete. As a primary school aged kid he would invite me along to whatever fun run race he had going on. He taught my sister and I how to swim and later I trained with his swim squad all through high school. I have not lived in the same city as Chris since 1999, but when we do find ourselves in the same city we make time to run and swim together. He still critiques my swim stroke but I don't mind a bit.

“Consume the correct food with pride but not as complex idea of dietary guidelines but of “simplicity” and resurrecting the fellowship of the meal with family and friends.”John Davies – Push away the junk food, make a trip to the farmers market and purchase fresh produce. Cook and enjoy the produce that your purchase, do not be in a rush to get a quick meal.
