“Asking “Is this possible?” is rarely relevant. The real question is, “Is this worth doing?” – Andrew Swilinski

The logical side of us can be a double-edged sword.

It puts “can I do this” in a higher role of importance than “should I do this.”

Although appearing to be minor details, we can soon see the larger implications. When we default to asking the question of whether or not it’s a possibility, we sell ourselves short, placing the logistics ahead of importance. Placing the “whats” in front of the “whys”.

The old expression is true – “if there’s a will, there’s a way”.

“Work your land” – Tim Storey

If the farmer focuses on the fruit, and ignores the root, the tree will never grow.

To “work our land” is the fundamental understanding that our actions today are the seeds we are planting for tomorrow. Every seed we plant, whether positive or negative, is a vote for who we become.

And much like the farmer’s field, this is a continuous process. A successful harvest last year doesn’t mean the farmer can ease off the basics next year. Regardless of the accomplishments, accolades, successes… every day we must work our land.

“I would rather die of passion than boredom.” – Vincent Van Gogh

Certain times will challenge us. Certain times will leave doubts. Certain times will leave us beat up, worn out, exhausted. Sometimes to the point where we question the choices we’ve made. But truly… how awful would life be without them?

Uncertainty is pure gold. It’s what makes us feel alive, and it’s what memories are made of. No one remembers the lazy Sunday at home. They remember their first date. The first time they went on a roller coaster. The first time they walked into a CrossFit gym.

If everything was known, expected and pre-determined, life would be so horribly boring. It wouldn’t be a life at all. With only one of these, let’s welcome it, and make memories we’re proud of. We wouldn’t want it any other way.

“As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.” – Socrates

A core belief of ours is to “always be a student”. Regardless of age, experience, accomplishments… there is always so much to learn. And if we retain this mindset, it allows us to keep our eyes open for the next improvement.

Let’s draw two themes from this: One is that everyone is a teacher. We can learn from every interaction, if only we look for it. Two, that we should challenge our assumptions. When we believe we have things figured out, have we truly seen it from all angles? It’s ever easy to become a “victim of the landscape”, falling complacent simply because we’ve done something so many times before. It’s working perhaps, but, could it be better?

Always open-minded, eager to learn. Always a student.
