The Badass's Creed

This was borrowed from an amazingly inspiring woman from Lean Eating (who is a reformed paleo/crossfitter), Amanda:

 The Badass's Creed

This is my body. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My body is my best friend. It is my life. I must respect it as I must respect my life.

My body is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will love it as a sister. I will learn its weaknesses, celebrate its strengths, love its parts, and guide its sights. I will ever guard it against the ravages of all damage as I will ever guard my mind and spirit against damage. I will keep my body well fed and ready. We will become part of each other.

Before my Barbell, I swear this creed. My body and myself are the defenders of my life. We are the masters of my life. We are the saviors of my life. Bí láidir.

***
And may we all say, Amen.

Badassery

Replace "awesome" with "badass" and this article pretty much sums up my world view:
I'll admit it.  I spend an embarassing amount of time thinking about how to be awesome.  It's the 'what would Jesus do' of my life.*

*I am not comparing myself to Jesus - but I think he would totally feel me on this.
It's definitely time to get back on the badass train.
