We don't rise to the level of our expectations...


“We don’t rise to the level of our expectations; we fall to the level of our training.” Archilochus, Greek Soldier, Poet, c. 650 BC


I love this quote, not only for training for an athletic event, but for anything I work for. It could be a speech that I want to deliver well, or a new yoga pose. I can want it, but it doesn’t happen unless I train for it and practice, and work to achieve it. It reminds me that I will only do as well as the effort and work I’m willing to put in to it to get the results I want.
