Root to Grow

We have some team members concerned, discouraged, frustrated, and tired. All to be expected when entering a demanding program like we have.  Thursday mornings will always be a challenge for Red Dawn, but this morning was a little different.  They continued to work hard, some gave 110%, but not everyone was.  That concerns me.  The more I observed and thought, the more I saw fears surfacing and not intentional lack of effort.  I closed the workout with some thoughts on facing your fears and letting go, trusting the program, and what we are here to do.  Each one of us will be asked to face a fear at some point over this 10 weeks.  Maybe your time is now.  We need to root in order to grow.  We find strength from withing by finding our base, digging deep inside, and pulling that strength out.  From that strength, we can grow.  We are growing mentally, physically and emotionally.  I'm asking my team members to let go a little, give me 110%, be ok with falling a little in order to grow stronger.  Safety first of course!  I'm not pushing anyone down, nor do I want anyone to feel like you are falling.  I'm just asking you to step out of your comfort zone and trust in the strength that you already have and use that strength to continue to build it stronger and stronger.  We take each moment as a learning experience and build on it.  Make the most of each moment we have together! 

"Every fall that you take is a gift, and every relapse is a glorious opportunity -- after all, without them you can’t manifest the energy to get to a higher place."– Dr. Wayne Dyer
