Choose your hard.

Preamble:

YHC committed a few weeks ago to leading the workout at the Bound. I am honored by the opportunity to lead these men. Had some good conversations during the pre-ruck with a couple of the Bound guys about choosing your hard.

Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard.
Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard. Addiction is hard. Getting and Staying sober is hard. Choose your hard.

I am so glad that I had the privilege to lead these guys this morning. Everyone pushed themselves beyond their comfort zone.
