“Everything you want is on the other side of hard.”

Here is our recap from the Mind & Grind session held 12/12/21.

Our message we built from was "Everything you want is on the other side of hard."

Goals are hard to attain and every single day challenges need to be overcome to stay on track towards goal achievement. The biggest obstacles we'll face are often between our ears. Our minds will play tricks on us and deceive us to give in to what's easy. But, if we recognize this and train our minds to embrace the challenge then the journey becomes a lot more rewarding.

And so I had rocks/boulders of various sizes at the park for the boys to pick from.

The rock represented:

The grind.

The naysayers.

The struggle.

The hardships.

The obstacles.

Life’s daily test of their commitment to what they want.

And then we set out for 90 minutes. Never putting the rock down. Embracing the weight. Using it to gain strength.

The boys ran with their rocks. They did squats and presses. They practiced their belly breathing with the rocks on their chests. They had people yell to get more weight. They had people shout words of encouragement. They inspired people to smile as we passed.

All of it became fuel on the fire.

And in the end the question became what fuels their fire? If they can find their WHY, then they’ll figure out the HOW.

They rocked it!
