Friday,21 October 2011: Gaming the System

There are times in life where you can "game the system." But you never really know what the results will be if you try to game the system. You may get ahead if you do. Then again you may fall behind if you do.

Wouldn't it be easier just to do the work and not have to worry about gaming it? It's simple, just do the work. Don't worry about "If I do this, then this..."That takes time away from actually getting the work done. Plus you may be selling yourself short. Whether it's Fight Gone Bad, a tabata workout, an endurance workout, a potential job promotion, or a relationship, trying to game it will only result in you not performing to your optimum effort. Because when you game it, you only put enough effort in to get by. Is that what CrossFit is about, just getting by? Do CrossFitters settle for just the minimum? If the answer is "No", then you have to ask yourself "why am I gaming it?" If the answer is "Yes," then you need to reevaluate your life and what you really want from it.

Stop trying to game the system, it only takes away from your true efforts. Don't settle for the minimum in life, you deserve better. Less thinking, more doing.
