blog 50: fight weakness with strength=henry rollin's essay is inspirational


Henry Rollins is a musician, writer, activist, DJ, and actor. He wrote a really inspirational essay that he posted on his website called THE IRON. This short essay is worth reading.

essay highlights:
nothing good comes without work and a certain amount of pain.


Rollins discoveres a sense of himself

Rollins did something no one could ever take away

he says that working out gave himself a great gift

strength revels itself through character

he speaks of "the iron mind"

he fought weakness with strength



Does working out give you a sense of identity?

"Iron" helped Rollins develop a sense of self. Rollins developed an "iron mind" from lifting. What have you developed from working out? What association do you have with the gym? What drives you to be consistent and make working out/taking care of yourself a lifestyle?

whats your relationship to iron?
