Therapy

I read an article on the Crossfit Journal the other day about an Iraqi war veteran that nearly lost his life (and did lose his leg and was severely injured) who found Crossfit after his recovery. When asked if he goes to any therapy or anything for post-traumatic stress, he replied that he didn't need to because Crossfit did it for him. This inspired me. I think about where I would be without such an incredible outlet with such amazing, motivated people around me inspiring me every day....and the only answer I can come up with is...not here. I think everyone needs a passion, somewhere where they feel like home, something where nothing else in the world matters because that is where they belong. For me that is at my Crossfit gym, it's standing there with a bar and some weight, it's running in the rain/snow...it's knowing that there is no more perfect place in the world than the serenity I get when I am in that moment. Whether it's music, art, dance, sports, writing, whatever people are passionate about, I am a believer that everyone needs something. What will yours be?
