Passion to Serve

I belong to a community overwhelmed with a passion to serve.

This week was difficult for me; during the Monday WOD I struggled, and I  went to do a thruster and my shoulder couldnt lift the bar overhead. I was in pain. Immediately, I had 2 or 3 of my fellow crossfitters encouraging me to listen to my body and finish the workout with cleans.

Since then, people have gone out of their way to ask me how it felt and friends gave me advice and suggestions on how to handle my first "crossfit injury."

It's inspiring to see how people, some who I barely know, go out of their way to help me and others. Their passion for crossfit overflows into how they treat people.

 I constantly see encouraging words being exchanged, tips on how to eat right, how to clean the bar, what to do to get their first pull-up. People take care of each other, they want to make themselves and the people around them better.

We are a family, a community that has each other's back, that actually cares when we say "how are you?", that worries when you're in pain, that lifts you up when you are down.

Let that passion flow, baby.
