One
1 (one) is a number, numeral, and the name of the glyph representing that number. It represents a single entity, the unit of counting or measurement.
Today I felt the power of one. I’ve been battling to get back after being sick. Forcing down one meal after the next. Pounding out one rep at a time. It took one awesome session today and everything fell back into place. Its like I could see the entire puzzle from a distance - I could see my progress and what was needed to finish my master piece. One session - it was like someone flicking a switch.
Contemplating that on my way home while I was knocking back a whey shake it became clear to me how such a "small" number makes the biggest ****ing difference in the world. It takes one look from her and you know its meant to be… It takes one stolen kiss, one white lie to ruin a lifetime of trust. It takes one moment of losing concentration to lose a life forever. It takes one gesture for a war to stop… or start. It all begins and ends with one.
In life I have realized you only have one you can really count on. You. You start this crazy ride alone and you end it alone. You will meet people that will have a profound effect on your life, but only if YOU allow it. Its all you. One. Singular.
Think about this concept the next time you warrant that ONE cheat meal. Or the next time you just can’t get that last ONE rep out. One changes lives. The next time you hug your kid. Share a moment with your old man. One makes all the ****ing difference. Do you really want to go through life always being one behind? Neither do, but truth is, it happens. Stand up with me brothers. let rage and honor guide us. Let the pain of giving in to that one, forever ignite the fire burning in your soul… and when you do lose out to that one, as we all will, know that you have an army behind you. We fight with you, we fight for you when you cannot. Rise up, take back that one. Its yours…
Strength and Honor
