Life is GREAT!

So, I'm chilling out in fire camp, happy as hell to be out of the place I work and doing something that I really love.. I've got a ten day wildfire assignment, there is not much wildfire going on but I don't really care..

The wildfire community is much like the police and regular fire fighter community but I'd venture to say much closer knit than them even. Maybe because its a smaller community or maybe it just the breed of people but its hard for me to go anywhere else and find the sense of singleness and purpose that I fine at fire camp. There's not a ton of politics, almost everyone knows their job and each spoke fits and works.. I love it.. I think my whole demeanor changes the minute I get that resource order and know that I'm going to be headed out.. Then it changes again when I get my demob paperwork..

Why is it that we don't chase our dreams and that we allow extraneous circumstances to dictate our lives.. I suspect its fear.. Fear of the unknown.. Fear of failure.. Fear in all forms is said to be

a corrupting thread in the fabric of our existence.. Its a shame too because its so limiting... Maybe I really need to evaluate this and seek to push through that.. Its obvious that my current career is wrought with unhappiness..

So, what the shit does that have to do with CrossFit.. How many of you have found yourself in fear of the weight or let a workout scare you away because you knew it would kick your ass. Man, I have... One World's blog from a few days ago defined this mental block or Mind F*#K much better that I can.. But that's what it is..

So, what about getting through it? I'm going to start that process right now with my job (or I have good intentions too) and I think what it takes is support.. Family, friends, a support network... A BOX...A COACH..

Into Action You Lazy Bums!
