The One Thing I Regret

The one thing I truly regret about high school is that I never played a competitive sport.

Probably because I was so caught up in video games and guitar (and I was horrendously out of shape). There’s something pure and real about giving yourself completely to an event. Whether a loss or a win, you learn something about yourself when pushed to your limits.

These are the same reasons I love weight lifting so much. I love it because you learn things about yourself in the weight room — lessons that carry over into real life. You learn about your limits; you learn that they don’t matter. There are no limits.
