Day Twenty Eight: Another one of my favorite songs by Jay-Z is, I did it my way. For todays class of my 40 Classes in 40 Days, I decided to do it my way. I decided to pay homage to the discipline that has brought me so much focus and direction. A discipline that has built up my body and mind. Finally, a discipline that allows me to motivate, teach and guide people to achieve things they never thought was possible. Im talking about boxing. A primal discipline that lies at the core of every woman and man. Today I pushed myself through sweat and tears. Yes, thats right, tears. Sometimes I cry as I push myself through some of the most challenging boxing workouts you can imagine. I hide my tears with the sweat that roll from my head to the floor. I dont cry because of the pain (Ive learned to endure pain). I cry, because of how grateful I am for boxing. Im grateful, because boxing has introduced me to some of the most amazing people. (What other sport can bring people together no matter the race, social or economic background?) Im grateful for boxing for the voice it has given me (I am able to motivate and encourage people to accomplish things they never thought was possible.) and Im grateful for boxing, because it allows me to be of service to others (I am able to give back to the same neighborhoods that raised me.) Tonight I boxed while the whole gym watched. They got to see me practice what I preached and show the passion for the sport I love.
