“What are you doing about it?”

It’s a simple question, but pretty much the answer to every complaint you’ve ever made in your entire life.

“What are you doing about it?”

People love to complain, bitch, moan, whine. Like that’s going to make anything better.

It won’t. All it does is garner sympathy for your ego, if you’re lucky. And if you’re unlucky, it simply engenders animosity. Or worse, disregard. That’s why there’s that tale of the Boy Who Cried Wolf. He was a f***ing whiner and so all the sheep got eaten. Moral of the story right there for ya. In fact, that story gets better if the wolf ate him too. That would have really taught some kids about whining.

You can eat this world or it can eat you. And, let me tell ya, the world is going to eat the complainers. You think they get ahead — and they do — for a little while. But the backlash is a sick mother and it destroys them. The only way to conquer and stay ahead of the game is to be the most resilient person you know. Grab the bar and destroy the WOD. Let it destroy you. And then get back up.

Like doing thrusters. You can approach that lift methodically and make it some combo of front squat and push press. Sure. Conserve energy, pace, etc. Or, sometimes, you can just go nuts. Let gravity have its flippin’ way. Let the bar crush you. And then get back up. Crush. And up. Again and again. Take that, bar. Take that, world. You can’t crush me. You can’t ever crush me.

And when you’re in the middle of getting crushed and standing back up? You’re in the fight. There’s no time – or air — for complaining. Just time for working. And fighting.

Don’t be the Boy (or the Girl) Who Cried Wolf. Be the person who shut their trap and went out and hunted the Wolf. There’s a much better ending to that story.
