“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. ”
Be that person in the arena. Do not let the naysayers and "haters" get to you. You are in control of your destiny as it relates to your health and fitness. Don't bow to the critiques of soft men and women who claim you're too manly or muscular. Don't let your highly specialized athlete friends tell you that CrossFit is dangerous and you'll never perform as well as they can because you're "too bulky." You are taking charge of your health. You're following a program designed to make you better at everything. You're taking care of you and your future so you're not some decrepit old man or woman telling stories about their glory days in the nursing home. You're preparing yourself to continue those stories until you fall down of exhaustion or go out in flames. "You're the best around...Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!"
