That was dumb...
You can be intelligent yet make stupid decisions. Calling out the decision can help you move forward fast. If you call yourself that thing though, you could easily start holding yourself back when you start to believe you are that thing.
-
Is it worth your life?
There are few things in this world I care enough about to put myself or others in this much danger. Learn to control your reactions. Not every slight or stupid move needs to become a fight.
-
Excellence is brutal up close
Watching excellence in practice is beautiful for sure. But do you have the balls to go through the requirements to get there?
-
Train in discomfort
You must train in conditions that can mimic the real thing. For me that's have a restriction on breathing and added weight to mimic pushing through when everything feels heavy at the end. For you, it might be something very different, but you can find a way to mimic it all the same.
-
To win you must lose
To win, you need to lose all the behaviors and thoughts that are holding you back. That is all 🤝
-
Character observed
Character is revealed when you think nobody is watching. Well, nobody you find important at the time anyway. But if you need someone important to you to be watching, it's not character, it's a costume for your performance.
-
Focus on what you want
When you focus on the misery, you'll certainly find it. Change your focus to what you want and your decisions will follow.
-
Accept the complement
Most people suck at being complemented. It's not humble to be rude. That person took the time to notice you. Accept their observations with a thank you, then move on.
-
You've already overcome your past
Your past doesn't need to be overcome. You did that when it happened. You just need to accept that it happened, learn the lesson, and stop allowing it to dominate your thoughts.
-
Go together
The quote in here I actually liked best was the one about making the decision right. Because no matter what, once you go down a path you can't undo it. So second guessing and what if-ing the decision that was not chosen won't change the outcome anyway.
-
Why can't he just give up? 😂
The devil will try you, but God is stronger 👏
-
Are you willing to lose yourself?
Care more about being right with yourself and God than fitting in with a crowd going nowhere.
-
The distracted mind
I learned this again today, lol. I was just going to do a little longer run than normal before my workout. But I got distracted playing solitaire while running and ended at 30 minutes and a completed 5k 😂. I was breathing easier than I was halfway through with the same pace, simply because my...
-
You're lying to yourself...
Yeah, you might be tired, especially in thought. That doesn't mean it's accurate. You have more in you than you think. If you stop believing that lie you tell yourself, who knows how far you can go...
-
Handle hard better
When you're pushing limits, it's not supposed to be easy. If that's what you're waiting for, you'll never get there. Learn to mentally handle hard moments better and you'll keep advancing.
-
You are not your diagnosis
Just because it's real doesn't mean it's valid and accurate. And it definitely isn't your personality.
-
It's not that bad
When things don't go as planned, that's the time to be calm and figure out a solution. Not the time to freak out and create bigger problems. Plus, it gives you the chance to be the break in the chaos for someone else.
-
Delay gratification
When you constantly search for immediate gratification, you'll end up finding only pain later on.
-
Maybe you're wrong...
Your first read isn't always correct. And the bigger the impact on your life, the more you need to question that and be willing to be wrong.
-
Use it to make more...
When you use the same logic on the things you don't want to do that you use when you want to give an excuse for the thing you "can't" have, it changes the equation 🤷♂️
-
The illusion of knowledge
Ignorance an be fixed with curiosity. But if you think you know everything already, then you only have the illusion of knowledge.
-
Be grateful
I got a little off track, but I'm sticking with it 🤣. We need to be grateful for the things we have and also remember those things are simply reminders of the people and moments we had along the way.
-
Lighthouse, not lifeboat...
You can't fix everything for those you claim to care about. In fact, trying to only makes it worse for them in the long run. Show them the boundaries and let them accept the consequences.
-
Comparison isn't a thief...
Your ego wants to believe you should be better. But where's the evidence? And yes, I check myself on this, too. I wanted to believe I should be better than these prosecutors I'm with at public speaking. Then I had to remind myself a large part of their training and job is public speaking and…

Don't try to prove yourself...
Sure, it's uncomfortable knowing you are the one in the room who is possibly in the wrong place. Don't panic. Don't try and prove you belong. Be curious. Be open. Listen. Add value only if you can without forcing it after something comes up that you can add. Maybe that's advice, a thought, or...
-
It's better to not know...
If you refuse to do the work for the thing, you should just accept the reality that it's not what you truly want. Otherwise, there would be no obstacle that would stop you.
-
Life lessons from driving patterns
Driving can teach you a lot about people and life. I don't know why this came to me this morning, but here we are 😂.
-
It goes on
You can spend your time being sad about the things you've gone through. Or... you can choose to accept the reality and make a new plan and different decisions going forward.
-
Winners quit when it's right
The thing holding you back might be your unwillingness to quit when it's the right move.
-
Matching energy
The person who's energy is matched is the one who is in control of the situation.
-
It's not a lack of...
It's not a lack of focus, it's a desire to focus on things that aren't as "fun" immediately. It's not a lack of discipline, it's that you would rather stay disciplined to your excuses. Make better choices.
-
Living forward looking backwards?
We live forwards but life makes me sense looking back. That's the way it's supposed to work. You're not supposed to have it all figured out. You don't always need to know why in the moment. That's a control issue...
-
You still need to decide to change
You can hear the world's greatest advice, the thing you need to hear for that next chapter. But if you refuse to listen, then it still doesn't matter. At the end of the day, you have to decide to hear it and act on it. Otherwise it's just another movie line you'll forget.
-
Know when not to respond
When you're focused deeply on one thing, understanding something else too quickly is rarely going to work out for you. That's why it's important to learn the skill of pausing to reset for a true understanding.
-
Fall to your standards
You fall to the level of preparation you put in before the time of need. Many people think they will be able to rise to the occasion in crunch time, but that rarely happens. You need to train and evaluate yourself regularly.
-
You survived
You've survived all your worst moments. All the moments you thought were the end. But they weren't. You've got this.
-
Make better decisions
If you're not making the decisions that people who have achieved what you want are making, you shouldn't be surprised when you don't achieve that thing.
-
Action before feelings
Your actions can change your feelings, too. Don't just wait to feel like doing the thing. Start the thing anyway and your feelings will follow.
-
Self evaluation
We all have those dumb habits that are a waste of time. The question is, do you ever evaluate these things and make changes? Or just keep wasting your time like you have an unlimited supply?
-
Ask about your flaws
If you're afraid to receive feedback that doesn't tell you how great you are, how do you expect to learn and get better?
-
You're feelings aren't facts
Just a friendly reminder, you're not perfect. So yes, your feelings, thoughts, and emotions can be wrong. Start questioning your own reactions before blaming others. You'll find yourself in a better place in the long run.
-
You prayed for it...
What good does it do to complain about having to do something that's just a part of life? Plus, you asked for it. You wanted it. You prayed for it. So just take care of it. It's that simple.
-
Defeat isn't an unwelcome thought...
Giving up at the first emotion is easy. But we want to not act through our emotions. You can learn to get through that initial charge to work through the problem logically. That's where we want to make the big decisions.
-
Be like water
Water doesn't fight reality. It accepts what it's given and finds a way. Then it goes to work building a better path over time. Be like that.
-
We need each other
This is random, I know, but that doesn't make it less true. I'm not saying I haven't watched these shows and been entertained by them. That's different. Just pay attention and realize the underlying messaging and discuss them with those in your circle or under your care.
-
No bad days
We have thousands of moments each day. Just because some of them are bad, terrible, tragic... fill in the blank, doesn't mean that entire day, week, or month needs to be labeled the same. It's a choice you get to make.
-
Are we at the last man?
We might be on the way to this now. Maybe parts of societies always were and now we can just see it more. Either way, I don't want this to be my life. I like taking risks and trying things. If that makes me the weird one, I'm all for it 😂
-
Don't worry about tomorrow
Spend today being in the moment. Prep your body, mind, and soul. Compete in the thing. Do what today, this moment, has prepared for you. Tomorrow can worry about itself. Plan for the future live in the now.
-
Hindsight can be bad or good
I don't know about you, but I frequently think in the moment I'm doing worse than I really am. Now, I also know I have this tendency, so I do my best to ignore it and keep pushing. But hindsight certainly helps when I'm done 😂
-
Don't listen to me...
If you have to ask me this, you already know the answer. Nobody is required to listen to my takes on life. I'll keep putting my thoughts out there either way 🤷♂️😂
