What Crossfitters do with this is unbelievable!
They can turn pain into honoring a loved one. A life given up for others is honored & cherished! It is done by more than just the immediate relatives...This person (body and soul) are thought about by many...It makes a difference! This brings humanity closer! It makes every one of us realize how good we have it, how we should be treating each other, value our lives and those around us...AND most importantly, HONORING others loved ones as well as our own!
Some people have a hard time with it. Naming a workout after a deceased person...
"How does that honor them?"
"What good can come from it?"
Etc...
BUT....if you workout...if you "get Crossfit"
THEN you "get" this concept.
IF you do not "get" this concept, chances are you never will.
This is how we live...making our lives better and the lives of those around us better. Working out is just the tip of the iceberg. It is the community...the closeness...the oneness...the unity.
Race, gender, age, strength, knowledge, even where you live and workout all go out the window for workouts, friendships & bonding...
Try it...It makes YOUR world better & the world of those around you better as well.
