You're part of a community that believes in the power of now, in the strength of starting, no matter when. Today, I want to share a thought that has driven me through my journey in CrossFit and life:
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today."
This quote resonates with me deeply. When I stepped into the world of CrossFit at 38, I could've easily said, "It's too late." But here's what I learned: It’s never too late to plant your tree.
My Story, Your Inspiration
When I started CrossFit, I wasn’t the fittest or the youngest, but I had passion and a willingness to grow. Each workout became my “today.” Each competition was a step toward the growth I envisioned. Now, as a 5-time CrossFit Games Masters Champion, I look back not at the time I might have lost but at the time I seized.
Today’s Seed, Tomorrow’s Shade
Don’t Dwell on Yesterday: We all have moments when we wish we’d started earlier. But remember, yesterday’s missed opportunities are today’s lessons.
Act Now: Whether it’s fitness, learning a new skill, or making life changes, the power lies in starting now. Today is your second chance.
Grow Patiently: Like trees, growth in any aspect of life takes time. Your efforts today will shape your future.
A Challenge for You
This week, I challenge you to plant your tree. Whether it’s committing to fitness, picking up that book, starting a new hobby, or reconnecting with loved ones—whatever it is, start today.
Join Me: Share your 'tree planting' stories with me. What are you starting today? How are you overcoming that “I wish I started earlier” feeling? Let’s grow together, support each other, and watch as our collective forest rises.
