Weak Me vs Strong Me…
Frankly, we human beings have been dealt a less than steller hand here; we’re physically and mentally fragile and if we’re lucky enough to live a long life (by human standards of course) we get to experience the loss of many dear things along the way. Personally, I don’t train with such conviction for fitness alone… I train to show my deep disapproval of this experience. I don’t want to lose everything… in fact, I don’t want to lose anything I’ve worked so hard for nor the things that matter so much to me… but I realize in the end, this isn’t my choice to make. So, instead of feeling weak, hopeless and helpless – I push hard against my physical and mental limitations to show my disapproval and lack of acceptance of the weakness inherent in all of this. It’s me against me… it’s the weak or the strong me, the productive or the indolent me, the needed or the needy me. I’ve made a conscious choice to pound the weaker me into submission and go out showing my disapproval by being strong, ready and game.
