why / motivation


the list is lengthy and incomplete but full of the "why's"...

health. strength. breath. ability. power. self respect. speed. agility. endurance. appearance. toughness. posture. longevity. preparedness. relationships. explosiveness. knowledge. excitement. brotherhood. improvement. results. introspection. truth. pain. understanding. family. achievement. readiness. awareness.

motivation not only comes from the list of primarily internal reasons above but from many outside sources as well.  here's a collection of pieces that have motivated, focused, or encouraged me along this never ending and constantly evolving path:
