Hello! Before I begin my inspirational speech (hehe) things that made me happy the past couple of days: one would be playing rock em' sock em' robots with my friend Jen and realizing that this awesome childhood game sucks, another would be how much I now love a dark purple/red lip color on me, and lastly....I make BOMB homemade chocolate chip cookies. Now if only I could workout so I could eat all of them...
Back to business. Today I get the results from the MRI on my knee and I'm actually excited. The sooner I know exactly what it is, the sooner I can fix it. You'll hear all about it tomorrow!
My choice of topic today: imperfection. My friend Kate will be happy that this post was inspired by Ne-yo's new album. First thing that comes to your mind.....what is wrong with this girl..but...here's the lyrics: And in the end they all learned a valuable lesson
Perfection is just glorified opinion
When in the grand scheming things it's our imperfections
That truly make us perfect
So do yourself a favor
Find the beauty in your cracks

Crossfit does not only point out your imperfections, but throws them right at your face in the middle of a WOD, when you are vulnerable and tired and just want to push through to the end. Yes, it's too hard to deal with a weakness at first, but it takes real strength to face that weakness or accept that you are not perfect. You will drop the bar, you will finish 15 seconds slower than you wanted; this will all happen. In life too. You will be late to work, your heart will get broken, you will break someone's heart, you will mess up something at work...you are not, nor ever will be perfect. So find beauty in these imperfections...what do they teach you? have you become a better person, a stronger crossfitter? do you strive to keep achieving regardless of these "roadblocks"? Who decided what perfect was in the first place?
It will surprise you. The people who love you will love those imperfections. Theyll love the way your nose is a little crooked and that scar on your chin, learn to love them too.
