My father was laid up after another neck surgery and my neighbor brought over a weight bench and a small barbell set to help my dad a little. My father never ended up using it, but for some reason I was drawn to it. Maybe was my small frame, my short stature, being picked on, but I started to use it and even though I could barely lift the weight on there, I knew one day I would be able to.

The pursuit of Perfection. The idea that there is never enough. There is always a new goal, there is always a new obstacle. Never being satisfied. In the words of Jay Cutler, "You have to be satisfied in the thought that you'll never be satisfied."

They say that perfection can't be reached, can't be achieved, but that doesn't mean that we can't strive to get there.
