What does Harley Davidson have to do with CrossFit?

Well, there is no obvious connection, but I re-discovered this picture today, and it was really encouraging for me...

I love this picture of the first Harley Davidson "factory,"  because it reminds me that mixing patience with hard work, and passion can grow into something amazing.

Sometimes we want things to happen immediately.  We want a PR every time we touch a barbell.  We want a faster Fran time every time we hear 3-2-1 GO.  We want to be able to perform like Christmas Abbott before we've suffered like Christmas Abbott, but that's just not how life works. 

This picture reminds me that we all start somewhere, that Rome wasn't built in a day, and that someday the results we receive from patient, passionate work, at home, the office, and the gym will grow exponentially.

Let's dream big, work hard, and be patient today...and let every Harley Davidson we see on the road remind us that we're headed toward something better :)

Have a wonderful day!
