Learning new things

Being a life long learner is difficult. Eventually you want to shut down and say, "No thank you, I know everything I need to know." Unfortunately, this is never the case. And if you decide to stop learning, you become a stubborn old man- to be loved and respected for his wisdom, but no longer followed. Many times, to learn something new, we first have to admit that what we believe to be true is wrong. Jack White III put it this way: 

"The only way that you will learn to think, is to admit that you know absolutely nothing."

Challenge yourself this week to learn something new. To cast away prejudices and absorb new information. Then apply that fresh knowledge by helping another human being. By learning new things regularly we are reminded that putting other people first is what matters. 

What does all this have to do with exercise? There is no magic spell, there is no perfect equation- there is only hard work and experimentation. You have not "made it" by practicing CrossFit, you have simply opened yourself up to endless horizons. Be brave enough to push further still.
