Know Your Role

In CrossFit, as in life, there are the elite.  The summa cum laude and the CEO.  The twenty-something brain child of a multi-billion dollar company.  The gold medalist.  The heartbreakingly beautiful. The breathtakingly talented. The unfathomably intelligent.  The strongest person in your gym and the Fittest Man on Earth.

It's been awhile since I've posted a picture of Rich.  Hellooooooo ::wink::

We all have roles to play, slots to fill.  As Sam pointed out in his guest post, there is always going to be someone stronger, smarter, faster and better looking than you. 

For me, I know that I will never be the strongest girl in the gym.  I don't have genius-like intelligence.  Frankly, I can do some pretty stupid things at times.  I have no special talent and I'm definitely not heartbreakingly beautiful.  I'm just me.  You're just you.  We're just us.  And that's ok.  The point is to know your role, but keep striving to change it.  Be better or die trying.  Never become complacent but always accept who you are in every, single moment. 

Be you...someone out there appreciates it.
