Mark Ottobre argues the gym only rewards effort, not outcomes. You can't control whether you hit a home run or win a trophy, but you control how hard you work. Not getting first place is fine. Not trying at all isn't.
In my gym at Enterprise Fitness, there's only one thing that gets rewarded, and that's effort. Because it's the effort that you put into things that ultimately going to lead to that outcome. You can't control the outcome. I can't control, you know, the next home run that I hit, but I can control the amount of effort and work that I put into something to make it a success. And if it doesn't fly right, if you don't get the first place trophy, it's okay. But what's not okay is not to try.
