notes to self
If you wait too long, the coffee gets cold, the door closes, you get old, the girls move on, & dreams fade. You must act w/ a sense of urgency today
My whoop stats for sleep, resting heart rate, recovery, & hrv dramatically improve when i am sleeping by the beach vs in the city Of course this fact is easily presumed, but having empirical data points to support it makes staying in cities seem entirely irrational
You don't realize how disgracefully much you're leaving in the tank until your back's against the wall, all is on the line, & you have no choice but to exert every ounce of effort, will, & talent buried in your soul. The fundamental acknowledgment that in every realm of life and…
The depth of one's thoughts is correlated with the richness of their life experiences. Those that have not lived very much do not have much to reflect, dwell, and cross-connect upon. Epiphanies are rare. Synchronicities are miracles. Their world is small. Their minds run circles.…
Pray that God may help you exercise your faith, for belief alone proves futile. Acting in a spirit of confidence of things unseen, man can rise above what is lowly, actualizing the intangibles & living out what was once merely a dream Your irrevocable convictions should utterly…
Sometimes you have to lose so hard to remember that winning is what you were born to do. Complacency is sneaky; it makes you think easy is good when it usually is not. We're bred for challenge & triumph, adversity & growth. When there isn't some mission to embark on we gradually…
Allow yourself to feel pain and carry the weight of your dooming emotions. Let the sweat drip off your brow, your legs grow tired, eyes heavy, and shoulders weak. Don’t deny your repressed sorrows, pent up anger, or incessant doubts & fears. You’re human, born for triumph and…
Learn to make peace with your losses, then you will finally be in the position to welcome what’s next. Any bit of mental or emotional energy expended on what has been prevents you from receiving what will be. Even the act of counting your losses typically only begets more of…
You are far more blessed than you realize - insanely so. There're a myriad of unknown unknowns that have kept you standing when you should have fallen, detours that saved you from a cliff's edge, hidden talents you have yet to discover, unlocked doors you have yet to open, and a…
Spiritually exhausted. Mentally drained. Financially ruined. And still being able to walk around with a smile on your face. You set that baseline & maintain it. Upward spiral starting with a conscious decision for optimism & a higher hope Then the rest follows
Maintaining the belief that we are who we choose to be & live the lives we choose to live only serves the actualization of your ultimate potential Accountability, agency, & self sovereignty paired w/ a humble acknowledgement for the necessity & influence of the Divine is the…
Sitting in the ruins of your hopes & dreams shattered & broken, completely destructed, a demise of your own design inflicted over countless nights, til suddenly you recall that the same hands you curse are your cure and only chance of thriving once more Just don't sit too long.
Just don't be a coward, complainer, or sore loser, and you are bound to win We often forget how simple this is, the patience required, & the personal transformation that must be undergone, but simply remembering in your darkest hours to not be a wimp works wonders
Live with unshakeable conviction for just one week and watch what happens.
In many stages & seasons of your life, you may feel like things are stagnant - where cycles repeat, progress is minimal, movement is perhaps backwards, and it may feel like time is being wasted, but often times those phases are for character development, refinement, & inner…
One of the hardest spiritual principles to accept and precursors to success is understanding that you lack nothing in grace nor in the material sense When you commit yourself to some higher ideal and lofty goal, the path will pave itself as you go Of course there will be…
We have everything we need in Christ. Find unending comfort, peace, & strength in that fact alone.
