*Me under 350kg/771lbs on my third attempt
This past weekend I competed in another powerlifting meet down in Iowa. I bombed out missing all three of my attempts.
It was frustrating.
Yet I know I will learn from this experience and get better. Failure is often a better teacher than success. It still sucks, though.
Life is like this. We sometimes get outcomes we do not want. Yet we can either give up or take it as an opportunity to learn and grow.*
What are you learning these days from unwanted outcomes in your life?
I am not giving up on my dreams and goals. The road to 1,000 lbs. bench press was never going to be easy.

*Learning also includes learning to hold healthy boundaries like not staying in an unhealthy relationship to someone who holds you in contempt like Cheaters do.
