I recently had the honor of training modern warriors.
The best of the best, charged with serving and protecting our community.
Young.
Strong.
And I had em sweating 5 min in. 😏
I did the entire session with them.
They were busy trying to find their life while I was prepping them for the next block of work.
They had no clue that their trainer was a 31yo mom of 4, already on her second workout of the day at 8am.
They struggled,
But they never stopped.
They stuck it out withe and finished what they started, strong.
It was badass, but more than anything it gave me so much hope.
Our collective standard of excellence is currently in the toilet.
People eat trash food.
Consume trash media.
Are sedentary 95% of the time.
And then complain about their lives.
It’s absolute bu****it and it makes us all vulnerable.
But those people - those warriors - have set a different standard for themselves.
For their lives.
And they’re living it.
I think most people would agree that culturally right now - it’s s**t.
And I also think most people are waiting for a savior.
Some knight in shining armor to ride in and fix it all.
What they fail to realize is that WE are our saviors.
The new culture, the new standard of excellence - begins and ends with us as individuals.
How we hold ourselves.
How we lead ourselves.
And then how we hold and lead our small segments of society.
It all starts with us.
So next time you go to bitch about gas or grocery prices, stop.
Ask yourself what you’re doing individually to raise the standard collectively.
To demand better.
Greater.
More.
Until we take individual responsibility, we will continue to suffer as a collective.
We are the ones we’re waiting for.
Step the f**k up & lead yourself.
🏹❤️🔥
