All or nothing
Today's dragonboat practice made me think of the phrase "all or nothing". Before practice started, I decided to do a quick workout of 5 sets of 5 reps of barbell cleans (135 lbs). During the latter sets, I could not hang clean and had to get into a squat to clean the weight. Each rep needed every ounce of energy in me.
During the boat practice, the Iron Dragons did a great job in giving their all. Most of them dug deep, pushing beyond their physical limits. Go hard or go home!
"Going hard" means different things to different people at different times. I believe there is no meaning in half-hearted effort. Attitude matters more than performance ... in most cases.
An all-or-nothing mindset is not just for physical fitness, but applies in every dimension and nuance of our lives. Whatever you have, wherever you are, do your best. Live well and do all things with excellence.
