## Caption

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.
