Rise Again From The Struggle

This will surely piss a few people off 🤣.

Listen, I don't hate science. I think they do great things in certain areas. Nutrition is not one of them. They continue to be wrong, and when they change the…

An uncomfortable truth. You are the product of your habits. Good, bad, or indifferent. Yes, being poor, overweight, sick, and sad are all results of broken or unproductive habits and thought patterns…

I've been in this house for 15 years, and I can count on one hand how many times the power has gone out for this long in that time.

I guess God wanted to test my resolve and see if I would find a way …

This is how I handle things that could be considered traumatic to some. I don't fight the emotion. If my mind and body need to panic for a couple of minutes, I let them. Then, as soon as a rational t…

Sprinting is hard, but so good for you. And just by adding it to your training, you can quickly become one of the 5% that still sprint 😉

Seriously, though. I've started adding this to my training. I'm…

If you learned it, you can unlearn it. Since you were born with basically no thoughts or skills, that means you can unlearn all those shitty habits you keep using as excuses!

No excuses!

I talk a lot about not being responsible for other people's emotions, but what if you're the one not handling your emotions properly? This one's for you.

When I was younger, I would track down someone…

Feelings aren't facts. Modern psychology likes to tell you to validate other people's feelings or for you to expect that from someone else. But it's not helpful.

There's a major difference between ack…

It's about accountability. This mom was teaching her daughters how to be accountable for their own emotions.

I loved the way she explained this. It's a real-life example of a person not taking account…

What I should have said is that certification programs are a modern invention. They are a marketing tool. Awesome. Yet a cert doesn't equate to competence nor does not having one equate to incompeten…

I went on another quick adventure today and found a fun little park with lots of trails to explore.

It's funny. I've lived here for close to 15 years now and never knew the places I've visited recentl…

Alright, I'm a little feisty today 😂

Degrees aren't equal to expertise. If you study the wrong information long enough, you will be highly qualified in learning garbage. Congratulations!

I followed the…

When a message keeps coming to you and you don't know why, then maybe you should pay attention to it...

That's what happened with this one tonight. The message was not clear. Complacency is the battle…

Your feelings lie... a LOT! That's why you can't operate your life based on your feelings. You set standards, goals, and habits based on where you want to be. Then you execute on them. That's it. Don…

You're programmed to believe anxiety is evil and is bad for you. It's not. It's also not just an emotion. It can be created by your nervous system as a symptom of a medical condition.

My back has a co…

This will definitely ruffle some feathers. That doesn't make it less true.

I spent a lot of time being passed around the medical system. I gained weight and prescriptions like it was an Olympic sport …

My efforts and focus are paying off, but I'm not quite there yet. I can try and replay the day in my head to see where I could have shaved time off, but that's not going to help a ton here. Ultimatel…

You can be happy with your progress and not like the results at the same time. That's where I am currently.

I know I'm making major strides in these events and in my fitness. I can see that. I can fee…

Today was awesome! After all the trail fun, I got stuck in a torrential downpour, and right now, it's raining again 😂

The race course should be nice and sloppy tomorrow, and the hanging grips will all…

Call me weird if you want, that's alright, lol. But I got goosebumps walking around the Tryon International Equestrian Center tonight. I could just feel the energy of the horses and riders in the war…
