Today in our box, (gym) we did something called "Goat Day." We got to choose 2 things that we struggle with in our work-outs and practice them. My family likes "Goat Day" because we get to try to get better at one of our weaknesses. My youngest jumped with joy when she found out eager to practice pull-ups and hand stands. My oldest grinned from ear to ear ready to practice her rope climbs. We welcome the opportunity to make ourselves stronger.
This made me wonder, do I welcome the opportunity to make myself better in other areas? Do I see weaknesses and take advantage of moments to strengthen them? Do I welcome practice or do I dig my heals in, content to stay the way I am? I'm happy to work to be stronger, am I happy to work to be better? Do I welcome moments of growth or do I make excuses for my actions and get offended at the opportunity to become a better person?
I don't know what this looks like or how it works. I simply realized that strength of body and strength of character should probably get equal effort.
