Absolutely true! I've learned so much about myself by stepping up to the bar. How to turn pain into power and anger into positive energy. I am more in touch with my body and how it works, even though I danced for years. And I've learned this body is capable of more than I knew it could be. And my mind? Even more. I've learned how to focus more intently and set goals higher than I would have in the past. And I became keenly aware of my grit and perseverance. My inner strength and my fierce intention of never quitting. Of always pushing through the hardships and using them for good. Plainly stated, it has changed my life. And saved me during some of the most painful and heart breaking times of my life. Grateful beyond words. #girlswholift #barbelllife #grit #strength #courage #neverquit
