CEO Intern Cast Diary

Yesterday after working in the office I had a feeling that I could not explain but after CrossFit this morning I understand what I was feeling. CrossFit this morning was a seventeen minute workout designed to leave you on the floor. I completed the workout and stood just fine waiting for the next round, which obviously means that I didn’t push hard enough. I view this as a problem but I also see how this habit of mine works in my favor at times because on one end of the coin I have not seen my full potential and at the other end I do need energy to be able to be productive at work. I have experiences like this on a regular basis. Overall I feel that I am selling myself short but at the same time I may just be throwing all of my similar experiences into one pot and analyzing them as a whole, which means that I may not be considering factors unique to a given experience.

The conclusion that I have come to, which is not really a conclusion, is that I need to push myself, in the office, in the gym, everywhere. I was used to getting pushed by tough coaches and mentors in the past and now it’s all self reliance and motivation. This struggle is one that also applies to my responsibilities as CEO because there is no coach standing behind me screaming PUSH, instead all I have to hold to is my internal drive and individual passion for conquering challenges as I engage them. America, aim to leave it all out on the floor. Irie I, One Love. Charlie H.
