Synergy is defined as SUPER TEAMWORK.
Last Wednesday I was fortunate to attend a motivational  seminar given by Robyn Benincasa. As an athlete I identified with her struggles, competitiveness,and her dedication.
She talked about when something isn't fun anymore it becomes dedication.  
I have been dedicated to a few things of late. It isn't fun when you get the rejections or the failures. I pick up where I left off and come in strong again. Maybe its the support of my family or friends or the successes of the people I help.
Sometimes you do have to stop the madness if its not working.
Robyn talked about the pain. Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional. I try not to suffer after a personal failure for long. I always know that I did my best and prepared . If it wasn't meant to be , it isn't . After all we can't win all the time.
 The kettlebell training  is what keeps me going. The mental strength it takes to stay dedicated to the training is the foundation for me.
I recently had a great win, joining a wonderful team. It was something I have been working towards for a very long time. I got knocked down several times in the process of other opportunities. My dedication to that success got me back up off the floor.
I feel very peaceful at this time although there will be more challenges thrown at me.

Robyn talked about teamwork. I am nothing with out the people I work with. The little victories that the people around me achieve is very meaningful to me. Take the time to notice others and congratulate those achievements. The pain that is sometimes left after training is what motivates.
She also talked about when she would look back at the opposing team to see if they are catching up with their team. Her team member moved her head to a forward position and said wining is that way, look forward.
Forward is winning to me.
A fellow young firefighter friend of mine affirmed me lately, sometimes you just need this. He said that I hung in there and now it worked out. It meant a lot to me that day

Many people quit before they succeed. That wasn't in the plan for me.

Never quit .
