Boys, I been reading these old-school Roy Masters books lately... How Your Mind Can Keep You Well, Be Still & Know, all that stuff … this dude breaks it down like i've never heard. simple. Real simple. Every time you REACT… evil owns your ass. You get mad fast?You get jealous?You get nervous around women?You get triggered like a little kid?Congratulations… you just handed your power away. Roy says that’s what happened to Adam. Man got played. Man reacted instead of standing tall. Same thing we do today. Jesus didn’t do that.Jesus stayed cool.Present.Locked in.Didn’t take the bait. That’s what GREAT MEN do.That's what we're here for right? To become great men. lets go So today, Next time someone tries to push your buttons, just breathe…be still…let it roll off you…DON’T REACT. It ain’t weakness.It’s strength.It’s power.It’s you being a man of God instead of a puppet of evil. Stand tall, fellas.Let’s not get played anymore. How you like the new group logo? Get ready for the call this sunday night 7pm. Its going to be the first of many. a monthly gathering we can expect and commit to. If this group means somthing to you, be there. lmk your thoughts on this post. Do you see how reacting allows something to build inside of you, and you end up losing yourself?

This is where the challenge gets difficult. You're going to have to stay clear on what your purpose and your reason for doing it is. winners master there bodies, champions master there mind. Remember to be serious, and remember to keep it fun. That's the game. balance is mastery.

Last week was challenging but we made it through. Today I finally felt good and I had a great day. Pushing through is always worth it. I haven’t been perfect with my diet but I’m moving on and getting better instead of worse. Remind yourself how far you’re come. Keep doing great things

I need to share this with you guys. I will write more on it later or make a video but I just want to talk to you while I'm in this. I'm processing the loss of my coach Duke Roufus. He was a great man, a legend. He taught me about fighting and life. We talked for hours on end. He could talk, and he had so much energy. Tonight I was in a rare emotional fight with my ex wife over text about the kids and it got ugly. During this i got the news. I broke down in tears. I had to keep it moving, get the kids home, and go to the skating rink where Lindsey was waiting on me to see Elliot skate. I went in, still emotional getting texts and calls. I stepped outside to take a call from a friend that also new Duke, and Lindsey calls me. A kid slapped Elliot, and somehow as I go in I miss her. She went out behind the kid to find the parent. She calls me frantic, the kids dad is in her face bowing up. With all the emotions, this guy was in a bad spot. I go outside and as I approach this man, he realizes that he is in big trouble. He completely submits and calls me sir as she yells "tell him what you were saying 30 seconds ago". I'll be honest, I was waiting for him to mess up. His smart ass kid was running his mouth. I felt the guy needed a lesson so I didn't just let him ride away, I told him what I thought. Thank god this man coward. Thank you god for giving me the strength and giving that man at least the sense to be quiet at that moment. I'm not sure I did the exact right thing, but I'm happy it did not escalate. It was the perfect storm for me to be dragged into the middle of the mess and end up in jail , sued or worse. We lost a good man today. Way too soon. He was only 55. I'm not sure I've ever experienced this range of emotions in such a short period of time. I'm just grateful that we get to live and love fully and that god gave me the strength to be a man tonight. I'll be making another tribute post about coach asap and I want to do something to honor him. Thanks for listening. Hope you get something from my experience tonight.

Not everything went perfect, but I know I leveled up. I felt the power of God moving through me all day, because I was looking for it this morning. Had a call with @Aaron Kimball and we locked in on a whole new level. Before we hung up, he prayed over us and the direction of this group and that prayer carried me the rest of the day. A big mess up. I owe @Jeremy Ta'kody a big apology, I was at home waiting on his call within like an hour, and I got totally side tracked, I'm not even sure when it was. The day was going great, I just over extended myself and totally forgot the call. I'm sorry sir. Much love. please forgive me. You time is valuable to me. Can't wait to talk to you again. I got to be fully present with my daughter. Connected with my son Eli after his game. My boy Elliot came home with A’s and B’s, and I got to show him how proud I was — real father-to-son moment. Lindsey and I had a powerful vision of where we’re going. And practice tonight was packed with young men fired up about growth and momentum. I’m grateful for all of it. That’s it. LMK how your week is going. Where can I help? If you’re struggling or need prayers, speak up. We’ve all been there. Much love, AB
