Turning pain into power. This morning, I did just that, breaking my Squat PR of 215 and hitting 220lbs. . Pain is a natural part of life. It hurts. Yet it’s a gift that provides perspective and compassion, allowing one to learn how to sit with others in pain, instead of judging them for it. . Pain can also be a powerful motivator, after you have sat with it and processed it. It’s like forging iron into steel. You will become stronger and more resilient. Unbreakable. . Don’t give up. . #squats #painintopower #depth #courage #persistence #grit #dontgiveup #girlswholift #dothework #empathy #compassion #perspective
