Daily Mindset
“People fail to achieve mastery, not because they aren’t talented, but because they aren’t disciplined.” – Daniel Pink
Our greatest strength as humans: malleability.
Like play-dough, the human being can mold and remold to whatever it desires. It’s incredible when you really think about it.
Yet over time we can forget that, and say things like “I’m too old for that”, or, “I’ll never be able to do that”. Our play-dough stays in a certain form for so long, it hardens. And we can barely move it, if at all.
However, with a single droplet of water at a time, one can start to soften the play-dough. The play-dough moves again, restored.
We must remember that play-dough will always be play-dough. We just need to bring the discipline, patience, and hard work… and we’ll take the shape of whatever we seek to be.

Athletes will use a single dumbbell for the box step-ups. They can hold the dumbbell however is most comfortable for them. We’ll alternate legs every rep for a total of 20.
