For those of you who are not followers, interpret these words as words of wisdom rather than religion.
2 Corinthians 12:9
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong"
I like this passage because I can relate it to my life and most likely your life as well. Weakness, thats a word nobody ever wants to associate with themselves (especially in this business). Whether it be your weak points as an athlete or as a human being, sometimes we are afraid to recognize those chinks in our armour. I'm trying to challenge myself (and maybe you) to accept those weaknesses and try and change them...and if you cant than learn to be the better for them. I have two weaknesses that come to mind...as an athlete I have mobility and tightness problems all over my body that I kind of shied away from because I was getting sick of putting in so much work for only a little bit of a reward...sometimes you have to bite the bullet and take a step back in order to take two steps forward. For instance, I liked to box squat as much weight as possible...but for some reason I could never correctly do it. Troy assessed one of my weakpoints in the tightness of my adductors, so I took a step back worked on flexibility and squatted with less weight (and boom my squat went up). On the flipside, I can sometimes be too competitive and maybe even a jealous person. I'm trying to abolish those traits...I guess only me and one other "being" will know when they are gone.

"Chinks" in our armor? "Kinks" in our armor? Your a racist.
