Lifestyle Millionaire

What defines life successes?Take a moment to ask yourself this question and challenge your perspective. In a previous article, I reflected on CrossFit’s “What is Fitness” and how it reshaped my view of fitness. More importantly, it broadened my perspective on life. For many, financial success is the goal—but this is just one piece of the puzzle. What good is financial freedom if you lack health, functionality, or meaningful relationships to enjoy it? In CrossFit, we often say, “You are as strong as your weakest link.” We aim to develop balance across the 10 General Physical Skills: A deficiency in any of these areas is where the greatest improvement can be made. This principle applies beyond fitness to all aspects of life. Consider these simplified pillars of life—no single one is more important than the others: 1. Physical Health 2. Mental & Emotional Health 3. Relationship & Social Connection 4. Financial Stability & Freedom 5. Purpose & Self-Improvement 6. Quality Nutrition 7. Balance & Leisure How These Pillars Interact A truly quality life isn’t just about excelling in one area but finding harmony across all pillars. Strengthening one often positively influences others—for instance, improving physical health can enhance mental clarity and emotional resilience, while financial freedom can allow more time for relationships and leisure. Ultimately, the goal is to create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. In my opinion, those who find balance across all these areas are living truly rich, fulfilling lives. They are the ones who achieve the status of a Lifestyle Millionaire. Time HorizonSuccess isn’t just about the present—it’s about building a foundation for the future.Ask yourself:Where do I see myself at 40, 60, 90, or even 100 years old?Are my current actions aligned with that vision? Your future will reflect where you choose to invest your energy today. Take ActionIdentify the area of your life where you’re currently weakest and start there. Small, consistent steps in the right direction will empower you to take control and responsibility for your own life. Nothing happens by accident—every outcome is a result of your choices. By making the hard decisions now, you can earn the rewards later. Holistic success is a journey, not a destination. Strive for balance, aim for growth, and build the life you deserve. We all have the potential to become Lifestyle Millionaires—the question is, are we willing to put in the work to make it happen? – Written by Marie.

WOD: Monday

Perform as many rounds as possible in 6 min of: 5 Power Clean 65/45kg 10 Toes to Bar 15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies) Rest 1 min. Perform as many rounds as possible in 5 min of: 5 Power Clean 65/45kg 10 Toes to Bar 15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies) Rest 2 min. Perform as many rounds as possible in 4 min of: 5 Power Clean 65/45kg 10 Toes to Bar 15 Wall Ball 10/6kg (9ft for ladies) Notes: This is an interval version of CrossFit Open workout 11.5 which was a continuous 18 minute AMRAP. Why split it into intervals? The intervals allow you to play around with different pacing/strategy and the rest breaks give you an “out” if you get it wrong. My suggestion is that you hit the 6 min. interval as though you were working for 18 min. continuously and see how you feel by the 6th minute. If you get it wrong and go out too hard, you at least have a rest break after 6 minutes to sort it out and if you go too easy you can learn from this and find ways to pick it up in the latter intervals.
