WHAT IS YOUR MAGIC NUMBER?

 

I'm Thinking Of A Number Between One And A Million.

Can You Guess What It Is? Many Of Us Walk Around With A

Dollar Amount In Our Heads - An Amount That, If We Had It,

Would Make Us Feel Prosperous, Secure, And Successful.

It May Flucuate Week To Week Or Year To Year. It May

Be Uncounscious Or It May Be Thought Out, As In The Case

Of Comedian Jim Carrey Who, Before Came Famous, Buried

His Father With A Check For Ten Million Dollars As A

Promise To Himself And A Tribute To His Dad. There Is

Nothing At All Wrong With The Dollar Amount You Have

In Your Mind. Making Plans, Relishing Future Success &

Working Toward A Goal Are All Worthy And Exciting

Endeavors. But, We Have To Be Careful Of Welding Our

Whole Existence To That Monetary Goal. We Have To Keep

In Mind That We Are Not On This Earth To Give Our

Money A Great Life Piling Up In The Bank; The Money

Is Here To Help Us Live Better & Help Those Around Us.

If We Can Keep That Reminder With Us Every Time We

Imagine Our Future Fortunes, The Amounts We Actually

Have And The Ones We Imagine We Might Have One Day

Can Change, But The Feeling Of Prosperity And

Contentment Will Be The Same, And That's What Counts.

THANKFUL TO BE THANKFUL

Did You Know That In The United States More People Go

Home For Thanksgiving Than For Christmas? And Yet,

No Presents Are Exchanged. It Is Simply A Time To Return

Home And Share A Meal, Conversation, Time With Close

Family. Family And Friends Are Often Such An Accepted

Part Of Our Lives That We Forget To Give Thanks For

Them, Their Support, Annoying Habbits And Sometimes

Unsolicited Interference & Advice. Finding Ways To

Value & Appreciate These Relationships And Learn

To Interact Appropriately With Others Are Important

Elements In Becoming A Functioning Human Being

While Living A Satisfyingn And Successful Life In The

Big Wide World Away From Home & Familiar

Surroundings. Many Of Us Compare Ourselves To

Others. We May See Other People Luxurious Homes,

Wonderful Clothes, Regular Holidays To Exotic

Locations, And Much More. But Those People May

Well Wish They Spent Less Time At Work & More

Time Together As A Family. Being Appreciative Of
What We Have Grounds Us And Reminds Us What

The Important Things Really Are.

Happy Thanksgiving 2013 #Blessings

RANDALL'S WITHOUT GROCERIES

When Most People Think Of Randalls They Think Groceries.

I Think of a man I met named David Randall. I had the

privilege of meeting David at Brazosport CrossFit sometime

early this year. I couldn't tell you how the training session started,

but I can tell you David was my partner during a team WOD

as we competed against the owners. When we began to

lock the gym I noticed there weren't any vehicles in the parking

lot, so I asked David if he needed a ride. "No thank you", he replied.

He was only in town for a few days before he went back

off shore again. He said he was staying in a hotel not too far &

he would be fine jogging back. Although David didn't share too

much about his life I connected with the sense of just

"Traveling Through". I recieved a message from David

earlier today & would like to share it. Congrats on your

new PR of snatch brother & stay blessed as you continue on

your journey. #UGL #MoreThanABrand #Community #Family

 

David,
hey brotha. You need to know that your last video post, to me, was awesome. Because I believe one should tell others when they have made a difference... Here I go. Thank for your coaching me that one time we WODED. You went over the squat snatch with me. Well today I PR 205 for three unbroken. Thank you.

SHOOTOUT SUCCESS

We All Know There Are Only 24 Hours In A Day

And 7 Days In A Week. I Feel Like Myself & Everyone Involved

With The 2012 Texas Crossfit Shootout Spent About 25 Hours

A Day And 8 Days A Week To Make Sure This Event

Was Ran As Close To Perfect As You Can Get. I Knew

That This Event Would Not Only Give Me A Chance To

Bring People Together, But Allow People To Experience A Brief

Moment Of What My Life Consist Of On A Day-2-Day Basis.

I'm Thankful For Everyone Who Made This Event Possible
And I Greatly Appreciate All The Support From The CrossFit
Community.
