Life Lessons of the Iron

Henry Rollins said, “I learned that nothing comes without work and a certain amount of pain. When I finish a set that leaves me shaking, I know more about myself. When something gets bad, I know it can’t be as bad as that workout. I used to fight the pain, but recently this became clear to me: pain is not my enemy; it is my call to greatness.” 
My call to greatness. Truer words have never been spoken. If you are looking to become great at anything— sports, business, relationships, whatever—you need to go through some degree of pain. That’s why so many people settle for mediocrity. They fight that pain. They fear it, because it’s hard and takes effort. People that train hard don’t settle. We are taught that under the bar. We push for excellence with every rep, every time we walk into the gym. We go outside our comfort zones to become better.
