Hello! Welcome to Daily Report Card. Every day
is a continuous test with no subject. What's
your answer? What's meaningful? Grant me the
serenity to accept things I cannot change, the
courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom
to know the difference. I thought about this.
same serenity prayer on our second year together.
Well, yeah, our second year together on episode
3, 32, season 14. And it's more about acceptance
of the whole is how I'm seeing the world. Not
just acceptance of what I can and can't do. But
acceptance of. Truly of. What's beyond me. And
it's love. Because it really eases the spirit.
In my personal opinion. We back. Today July 15,
2025. Season 62 premiere. Episode 612. Wow. Together,
y 'all. I know I've been falling off and the
only thing we can do is try to be better than
the version we were yesterday. And also knowing
that we create our own day. And I'm trying. Nevertheless,
acceptance, serenity prayer, part two. So let's
start it. First song of the day. Borderline remix
by Madonna. Our 60 second playlist called Second
Coming. This was really a gym vibe that I just,
I love my Shazams. Just like I, probably one
of my favorite apps ever created is Shazam because
just some music that you would have never heard
again or ever. um knew about you're able to just
put it up and more than likely they find it and
um this was just a gym vibe and it gave me the
right mood what to read today still working on
influence real influence by uh mark gulston about
60 percent through um and this It was an interesting
section talking about being a provocateur. If
you have a party or a group that's simply uninterested,
then get something to be an adversary, put them
on their heads about. However, it's got to be
done right. And you have to really know the party
or group that you're coming across to really
even go that direction. But if done right, it
can always really turn a crowd around. Was I
physically active as I got that Madonna song
on our playlist? You know, doing max week. So
did legs and really always doing the max workout
after the full circuit of doing legs. chest and
tris back and bys cardio and shoulders and traps
three times over and then max see where you can
push that and you have gonna have enough data
that you're taking notes every time that you
lift something to be able to know where you are
and where you're going And that's okay if you're
staying plateaued. Sometimes it be like that.
Or maybe we need to get more protein. Nevertheless,
keep going. What I get from my meditations. Acceptance
of the world and knowledge of your own actions
or your responsibility will ease your spirit
to be able to be more able and free. And I was
also listening to Kendrick Lamar, Rich Spirit,
and just driving and running around and just
understanding just to accept what the world brings
you, but also to keep on trying. So this really
was serendipitous to have the serenity prayer.
Say that five times fast. What'd I succeed at?
Just being open with the world and not being
too rigid and just understanding that you are
a small, small part in this grand view. However,
your small part matters to you. And every small
part matters. And if nobody cared about their
small part. Then that's going to be even worse
for the grand. So. Care about you. But know that.
Ultimately. You are in control of you. And it's
still a small part. What made me smile today?
just being able to be in the room with my son
and after not seeing him for a while and just
stopping not being in such a rush to get him
here and there and like hold on let me actually
brush your teeth let me clip your nails let me
brush your hair right let me wash your face let
me just give you that good once over because
i know we all are trying our best however From
the military, I always learned to leave a place
better than what you found it in. My son needs
me. I just stopped. I just took that time with
him. Even though I could have just passed him
along. It would have been nothing. It would have
been great. It would have been perfect. He is
perfect. Great and fine. I just wanted to be
there for him. I missed him. So give me a smile
just to spend that extra little TLC with him.
What do I think of my day overall? As I put the
playlist to second coming, just being able to
rebound and refocus and understand what my true
trajectory is and knowing that I have my own
truth that's going to be my own. And you've got
your own. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the
minutiae and the details and in our own bubbles
or silos or parallel universes that we lose focus
of what's going on actually in reality in front
of us. And what our reality and what actually
is going on is happening. Nevertheless, we still
need to have that. some sort of detachment because
if we don't try to push forward and being too
wrapped up in what's going on right now we'll
never go any further because that same thought
process would have kept me not to the place that
I wanted to be for me that was becoming a dentist
now for you that could be anything people close
to you gonna say no don't do it don't try it
don't believe it Believe in you. What do you
think of my day, bro? I already answered that.
What grade did I give myself? I'm going to go
with A -. I'm truly thankful just to be able
to wake up and understand that Each opportunity
that you wake up, you have that chance to be
that best version of yourself. And I feel like
I'm giving that right now. I'm in my 21st out
of 36 goal of 24 hour fast ending in about four
and a half hours. Shout out to Omid. Happy birthday.
I'm going to break that fast right there with
my boy and my family. So, um, wow. I'm going
to try hard for y 'all. We'll see how far we
can get. Nevertheless, that's part of the human
experiences. Keep getting up, keep waking up
and keep trying. And with that.
