This morning I remind myself of the importance of neutrality when it comes to external validation. The reason why not getting external validation makes me feel bad or worth less is because getting it would make me feel worth more or better. Being neutral to the getting it is what's going to make it easier to deal with not getting it. Powerful reminder

Let's Go Teammmm What A Great Day. This Past Weekend Which Was A Snowy Icey Weekend. God Showed Me Why I Continue To Do What I Do It Was The Old Saying Of Fall Get Right Back Up. As I Started To Shovel And Got To The Bottom Step I Took Flight. As I Was In the Air My Main Concern Was Not Hitting My Head In The Steps. Every Instinct Took Place And I Managed To Just land On My Lower Back Through All The Years Of Martial Arts Learning How To Fall Kicked In. The Railing Also Helped. The Fall Was Completed. As I Laid There I Immediately Started To Laugh And Said Thank You God That It Was Me And Not My Wife Or Daughters. And Although It was Painful I Immediately Was Grateful. I made Some Snow Angels Got Back Up, And Finished My Shoveling Mission And Went About My Day. Moral Of The Story Is To Me God Showed And Told Me To Continue In My Path Of Training And Helping People. Get Stronger Have To Honestly Say Not To Many 57 year Olds can Get Back Up Like Nothing Happened From A Fall Like That. SOMEONE WAS WATCHING OVER ME STAY SAFE, STAY BLESSED TEAM 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

This afternoon, I choose discipline over comfort. I do not negotiate with weakness. I do not entertain excuses. Complaining, delay, and justification have no authority over me. Discomfort is not my enemy — softness is. Rigidity sharpens me. Structure stabilizes me. Keeping my word is how I build trust with myself. I do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether I feel like it or not. I am unmovable under pressure. I am consistent when it’s inconvenient. I am forged, not fragile. Today, I become the version of myself that nothing can shake.

I am the master of my destiny. I embrace having full control of my life, along with full responsibility for it. Where I am now is the result of my past decisions and actions. Where I will be in five or ten years will be the result of the decisions and actions I take today and tomorrow. Every day matters. Every decision matters. Every action matters. My future depends on who I choose to be today.
