And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feeling that I could be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
That’s how I feel like being in November Project. As each day passes being in this tribe, I get to witness astounding changes and challenges the tribe members take up.
This is a group I love to be friends with. Positive people, never a bad word to say to each other, happy people who enjoy giving and receiving hugs, high fives and a good old handshake, always up for burpees (tested on a nostalgic Thursday) and playing in the rain. People I can invite to marathons and explore trails. People I can sit down and have breakfast with. People I belong with.
This weekend the tribe ran a charity run together in heavy rain. Foo and Irene ran their first 5km. Maybe next time they will run 10km. Blue, Elizabeth, Iris, Lina, MJ, Ben, Lessie, Joann and Daniel with their first 10km, maybe next time a half marathon. The NP tribe is ever supportive, ever encouraging and constantly pushes each other out of their comfort zones. That’s a beautiful thing.
In Malaysia, we have this crudish slang ‘jio’ which loosely translates to ‘to challenge’. Then we have this other slang ‘bojio’ and it means ‘never invite’. In NP, we always ‘jio’ each other because and only because we know that the other person can do it. They can, they may not know it yet because they have not try but they can, they absolutely CAN because we truly believe in them.
In NP, we will never ‘bojio’ and that’s what I love about us. We are inclusive of each other and we are all just striving for the same thing – to be the best version of ourselves.
You can be and are someone because in November Project, every single person matters. Every single PR you beat matters to us. Every single burpee, squat, push-up, hill you climb and do matters to us. Every single Wednesday you show up matters so much to us.
You belong and you are someone.
So let’s try this.
Let’s ‘jio’ everyone to push themselves out of their comfort zones today and tomorrow.
Let’s ‘jio’ someone you love and care about to #justshowup at a NP workout. Let’s ‘jio’ a stranger even.
Let’s ‘jio’ the shit out of each other.
