| My World - The Strength Culture! |
What is Strength Culture? I have to say it took me 32 years to figure it out. I have always been fascinated by strength. Strength though, in it's most broad sense, has many forms. This is the type of strength that I have grown to know more than just the singular definition of how it applies to muscles. True strength, as I have written before, goes beyond muscles. So going back to the question I should say that it is a culture of my personal belief that ties into every man and woman and does not single out anyone in particular. It is a formula for achieving great physical, mental, and emotional power. There is no particular section of one's life that this strength culture is not capable of affecting.
To look at a lifetime of anyone we can all agree that it is a fight. From the time that a newborn baby comes out of the womb life is a fight and from that fight one gains strength. This strength is what keeps that baby fighting on into early childhood, then to being a teenager, and ultimately an adult. This strength can either be fueled by an environment or culture, or it can be extinguished by the same variables. This is where my definition of strength culture is derived. Strength Culture for me though is about cultivating success. Even the negative experiences we have in life can be fuel that pushes us forward instead of backwards. With the example of the baby the strength is built on by compounding life experiences. Now the baby has to have that culture to guide it and keep it learning to always achieve that next level in life.
This is how the strength culture for me applies to our lives. It is that journey of nonstop experience and dealing with experiences in the right way to keep making progress. This type of mindset cannot not live or thrive alone. It must be a culture of many in order to spread it's gospel. When talking about fitness, strength training, and the overall function of the body the essence of the strength culture is tested right in front of us everyday. If your success is obvious to others and to yourself when it comes to personal strength, endurance, athletic performance, and total mental and physical effort then you have been influenced by the strength culture. If you have failures that always push you backwards, you continually miss the heavy lift, or even blow-off showing up to better your body, then you have not been influenced by the strength culture. You must allow yourself the opportunity to accept and fully pursue the meaning of the strength culture.
