People dream about one big event that changes their life.
The project that launches their career.
The idea that opens a new business.
The vacation that rekindles their marriage.
The diet that makes them lose the extra weight.
The four week program that gets them in shape.
You all know better, and that is what I love about CrossFitters.
It’s the grind.
It putting in the work.
Day after day.
Month after month.
Year after year.
Diligence is excellence in the ordinary. Make your ordinary tasks excellent and watch your life change. “The Diligent prosper.”
-Dave Ramsey
“Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
– John W. Gardner
‘What we must try and do is get at the ordinary, and so work that without any suspicion of deterioration … out of the ordinary … we bring excellence, without elitism.’ – Peter Blackman
Learning to embrace excellence in the ordinary will make you a better CrossFitter.
More importantly, it will bring success to your life.
This is real life.
It does not happen in a month, or even a year.
Put in the time and effort in the gym, and it WILL roll over into the rest of your life.
Do the ordinary things extraordinarily well and I guarantee success.
Practice this in all areas of your life.
Choose each morning to be EXTRORDINARY.
Starting at the gym.
A sloppy pushup will get you a better time, but it will not make you better.
Make that pushup EXTRORDINARY!
Take it to the dinner table.
Eating “Not too bad” will keep you from your goals.
Be EXTRORDINARY in your meal plans.
Then to your relationships.
One “great date” and then a lack of ongoing daily affectionate attention will dull a relationship.
Be an EXTRORDINARY lover by telling them that you love them and think of them daily.
Now go to work.
Wasting time sucks the momentum out of your career.
Make that spreadsheet EXTRODINARY, provide EXTRORDINARY customer service, weld an EXTRORDINARY joint. It will get noticed.
Are you EXTRORDINARY?
Just get to the gym at least three times a week.
Put in the work. Intensity with Integrity.
The coaches are on you about movement standards, because we are improving your LIFE, not just your workout.
Teaching you to do the ordinary EXTRAORDINARILY well.
This is what makes us different.
This is what makes us successful.
