I am a Warrior

I am a Warrior My choices are seen as extreme My ability at times defying nature Yet my life is characterised By near constant disappointment In my efforts to build a foundation for later success

To be a worthy representative of myself I must know defeat and humble myself to its teachings Continuously i must test..and test…and test..and test my limits again

For in this testing lies the answer to the question "How will I be better tomorrow"?

Fear and Ego will stop many as they mistake failure for weakness But it is precisely through this failure that i come to understand What is possible, what i can truly be and who i truly am

For me Iron is a religion and I am defined by its teachings

It teaches humility and patience and focus and power and brotherhood

When i walk into the temple I am prepared to fail, i am prepared to fall, I am prepared to look small, I am prepared to leave my ego and pride at the entrance

But also I am prepared to never quit, to not give up, to never say "I can't do it"

I am prepared to go that last rep when my body says no more, I am prepared to go through pain and to focus when my brain is blacking out, I am prepared to win – because that is what will define me being better tomorrow than i was today !!

I am a warrior!
