Keep After It

I recently started doing CrossFit.  The people who go there amaze me. They willingly show up to do workouts that they typically don’t like--but they know that they’re good for them.  In one workout, participants had to do tiered numbers of exercises, something like 33, 27, 21, 14, 9. There was a time limit of 20 minutes. Almost nobody was actually capable of completing the workout.  Most could only do a fraction of it. Yet everyone kept trying. They would do one, then pause, then do another. No matter what, they kept getting up and go after the goal. I think it’s a great mindset for entrepreneurship because most of us really aren’t capable of doing everything we need to.  There’s just too much to do. But we keep going after forming and running our ensembles. We run out of daylight, then do it again. We may never have the ensemble of our dreams, but we can have the ensemble we’ve worked for--that we’ve paid for by giving musicians and the concert-going public something that matters.  ​
