Hello! Welcome to my daily report card. Every
day is a continuous test with no subject. What's
your answer? What is it meaningful? The beauty
of life is really the ebbs and flows and the
ups and downs and the twists and turns that you
take. The balance that really is created in knowing
what your inner driving force is. That's what
I've been coming across. Not getting too high
and still remaining humble in those good times
and not getting too low and remaining cheerful
in those bad times. And it ends up working out,
especially if you have a good outlook. Today
is Friday the 13th, June at 11 .17 Pacific Standard
Time. Everlasting. And with that, let's start!
Song of the day. On our Avalanche playlist, number
60. Ooh, Smooth Criminal. I mean, it's just so
legendary and just the tempo and how many times
the songs got remade. Michael Jackson, true legend.
What did I read today? Still on objections by
Chad Blunt. And it's really about in this section
is just staying prepared, staying ready and having
practiced in all scenarios and rehearsed. Let
people talk and give them five seconds after
they're done talking. Know your own stats and
numbers and red herrings and pause and acknowledge
and ignore or save. It's really just staying
ready, honestly. So I love it. Was I physically
active today? When I'm with my boys, it's like
that's the test. to all of this physical activity
and I could say I passed. When I can keep up
with them and outlast, everlast. That's my motivation.
What did I get from the meditation? Stay cheerful
in the down times and humble in the good times
and everything balance itself out What I see
that Taking what the world gives me understanding
when it's my time when it's not and Know when
to hold them and when to fold them. Mm -hmm just
understanding that If you want to make God laugh,
tell me your plans. And really about enjoying
the process. And the process is the destination.
So just staying committed. Staying faithful.
Staying... Staying cheerful. What made me smile?
You know those happy moments? Some really can't
be planned and they're more so in those quiet
times and those times that we don't even think
about. Just being able to watch a movie at home
with the family or being able to watch an NBA
Finals game. all my spouse is reading my son
is playing and we're just all in our own vibe
nevertheless that made me smile wonderful thinking
about the finals game which is really that's
that's the definition of the ebbs and flows and
the player sga is Had an okay game, but it was
until the fourth quarter where he scored 14 clutch
moments. That means When the game is within five
points within the last five minutes dope What
I think about a row Open man Accepting. Understanding.
Calm and yet consistent. How great do I get myself?
I'm going to go with a solid B+. Because I feel
like I could have done more. I could have ran
through the finish line instead of just taking
a nice breeze. I could have made sure that I
read a chapter to my son. I could have made sure
that I finished my actual 30 minutes of my reading.
I could have made sure that I did some push -ups
in front of my son to influence him. However,
that's the beauty and struggle of life. Being
able to understand what you could have done and
being confident in what you did. Using all that
information and with the hope and prayer and
luck that you make it to the next day. That you
use that information to make the next day better.
And so on and so forth. And yet every day is
independent and on its own and things happen.
Yet and still I hope that you are Kind to yourself
and hard on yourself at the same time. That's
the beauty of the duality of the human being
is that two things can be true. Two things for
sure. One thing's for certain. I believe in you.
And with that, once again!
