Hard work is made easier by tangible reward. But, to most of us, tangible reward for our strain is often unachievable. We find that all of our hard work has yielded nothing within the known world. / "Sometimes, we outsource that which we value because we don’t know that the value is in the effort not the product." -Mark Twight / "The Hero is the champion of things becoming, not of things become, because he is." Extract from the book: A Hero with a thousand faces By Joseph Campbell / Do not shy away from the labour of your destiny. There will be many victories and failures that we may savour, we will slay ourselves again and again. But the journey is a never ending cosmogonic cycle of victories and defeats, each serving its own purpose. / “The highest reward for man's toil is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.” —John Ruskin / Ignore empty words, they cannot, and should not change you. Find value in your becoming, find the joy in your labour, regardless of the outcome. It is the becoming that we celebrate, not the trophy. • • • #utb #utbstory #underthebarteam #underthebar #weareallthesame #fit #fitness #gymnastics #fitlife #morethanfitness #notjustfit #fitnessmotivation #gym #gymmotivation #life #follow #like #photooftheday #calisthenics #streetworkout #motivation #philosophy #selfdisovery #southafrica #crossfit #crossfitmotivation #mythology #philosophy #writer #becoming https://www.instagram.com/p/B4yjxh7hHI0/?igshid=astcapqgb58q
