“Empathy fuels connection. Sympathy drives disconnection.” – Brene Brown

Sympathy is feeling “sorry” for someone. And although these intentions often come from a good place, it actually further isolates the individual. It creates a deeper divide.

Empathy, on the other hand, is free of judgment. It’s being an sincere listener, present for the individual in relation… but not “diagnosis”. Instead of being there to fix you, it’s being there with you.

Rarely can a response make something better. What can make something better, is connection.

“80% of success is showing up.” – Woody Allen

We can become obsessed with achievements. We chase the weightlifting PR, chase the next promotion, chase the next “X”.

As an example, let’s say we’re moving through a 10-Week Snatch program… and things are feeling great. We’re 9 weeks in, and we moving so much better than when we started. The same weights we started with feel so, so much easier. What used to be a heavy lift for us is a no-brainer now.

But until we move a single pound over our current PR at the end of the cycle, we don’t allow ourselves to consider that we’re better. And if we test out at Week 10 of the cycle, and do not PR… what would be our immediate reaction?

The paradigm shift is this:

To not view progress as a means to an achievement.

And instead to view progress as the achievement.

“Death is one prophecy that hasn’t failed.” – Edmund Wilson

Have you ever been asked, “What would you do if you only had a week to live?”

Few things will snap us to attention like the thought of a terminal illness. The question leaves us considering how different our lives would be if we only had days to live.

But the morbid truth, is that we all have a terminal death sentence. It won’t be a matter of if, but when. Let’s not let a day go by, where we allow this thought to wash away to ignorance. We get one shot… let’s make it count.
