White Snow Challenge

Why did Rocky choose to go to Russia and train outdoors? Was it because he was broke and couldn't afford to work out in the USA? No. It wasn't because he couldn't work out indoors at Russia, did you see the crazy cyber junk Drago was working with? It wasn't because he wanted to grow that manly beard. He chose to run through the snow because snow makes natural things harder. The snow made his lance like trek's up a mountain harder. Snow made his pulling the sled with Pauley sitting on it that much harder. This past weekend I started to think about how snow makes almost everything harder. Driving? Harder. School Going? Harder. Sporting Events? Harder. Sun Bathing? Harder. You get my point. Snow really makes the average task difficult. This started my brain fibers to start sparking. Can they even spark? Is that what fibers do? anywho.... follow me here.

Snow is typically forecasted but we never know the amount we are going to get, or the exact time we will get it. We never know how long it will stay or if it will stop. Isn't this like all things in life that make our average tasks more difficult? Snow is like stress. Snow is like a broken furnace in an apartment that feels like the Arctic. Snow is like anything in your life right now that is making your daily activities more difficult. You didn't know this "snow" was going to pop up in your life, chances are you don't how long it will last, and you are pretty sure you would love to have someone come plow it all away.

I have good news. Just like real snow, this proverbial snow will get shoveled away by a kind neighbor or friend, or over time it will melt. Next time it snows in your life don't grip the wheel real tight and drive slower and slower panicking, rather find the courage to train in it to make yourself stronger.
