You aint got the heart no more…That nearly went up on my wall as inspiration.
I’ve recently got back into Crossfit and it’s rough, especially being a post 40, diabetic, vegan. Talking to some old friends from my powerlifting days (pre40, diabetic, carnivore) this topic came up. It was said I’m still a good guy but I just aint got the heart to tear stuff up like I used to, to make those progressive gains like I used to. First thought was “hell no you guys are crazy” but in all truthfulness maybe they are correct. That anger that used to drive me to do some crazy stuff like getting up at 3am to hit the gym before work and sometimes going there after work also or cooking for 3 hours on Sunday morning and having my fridge packed with a mad amount of tupperware bowls full of food so I’d be ready for the week. Yep that isn’t there anymore, that anger is gone, gladly so. Now though what can I use as motivation, simply so others (and myself) can know that anger doesn’t have to play a part in achieving something. And to answer the question can this practice coincide with something that was driven by pure anger and a feeling of retribution before?…or maybe bring it to a higher level? to train mind, body, spirit
So why didn’t the “You aint got the heart no more” go up as inspiration. I realized I’ve been looking at what I don’t want to be for just about my entire life. This led me to some dark areas but I figured as long as I wasn’t “that” then I was alright. When you finally open your eyes you see just being something other than what you don’t want to be can be just as bad if not worse. Time to start looking at what I do want to be…I still have no quote (you’ve got new heart was just way too cheesy 
) but I’m realizing I don’t need one, everytime I breathe is inspiration.
Peace to you my friends
