Welcome, my dear little pork heart. Every day
is a continuous test with no subject. What's
your answer? Was it meaningful? At a certain
point, when you go through the obstacles, you
feel all the thorns. You're caught in a trap
and still make it through. It's like what they
call, you get that runner's high. Where you get
that second boost, second win, new kick from
just sticking to it. That enchantment, that wonder.
You know, one lesson that I learned, one adage
I should say that I learned in school that kind
of sticks to today is, Keeping your eyes on your
own paper. But away from a plagiarism standpoint,
but looking around and not being focused at the
task at hand is detrimental. It throws you off.
It yields less productive standards than being
locked in on your paper. And I feel like I'm
at a point where I've been through that. I've
been through the traps. I've stepped through
the minefield. I got my leg caught. And as I
still stand, I'm here to tell you it gets better.
Or maybe it doesn't get better and You're just
able to wear with all. You've built up the strength
necessary going through what you went through.
That goes for anything, whatever your journey
is in life, whatever your goal you have. It's
going to take that built up stamina and endurance.
It's not just going to happen right now. Unfortunate
from this generation that we live in, we get
everything right now. However, we have to use
all of these tools in our favor to know that
we still have to stay down. Enchantment. With
that, let's start it! Song of the day on season
62 is... Sucker proof. Nipsey Hussle. I've been
really playing Get On My Hype by Messi Marv.
We all have our certain chapters in life when
everything was going right. And we were in that
mode. And I feel like Get On My Hype was one
of that chapters he was in. And we can always
enter that back. And the good thing is about
those chapters is we always have some sort of
reminder collectible to remind us you're able
to do that still. The carrot and the rabbit.
What did I read today? Today I changed it up.
I went back to, and I like doing this from time
to time. just reopening a book that i've already
read a number of times and this was uh 48 laws
of power um law three concealing your intentions
not always leading with what exactly it is that
you want but knowing that there's a system and
a strategy i was watching uh in netflix train
wreck uh the cult of american apparel where they
were talking down and smearing this book for
their laws of power and but the whole thing is
the guy gave them the book and they never opened
it they only used their iphone and whatever they
threw the book out and they said this guy is
manipulative he's terrible he did all these things
but my thought is he gave you the tools why didn't
you open the book or read it or by the audiobook.
So busy on trying to point the finger away from
ourselves that we miss a lot. Was I physically
active today? These are the days where I feel
that working out paid off for. I'm able to walk
the hills with my children. go to the park after
that and then still have fun in the day going
to like an arcade or something that built up
and also understanding and knowing that they
weren't at work all day or doing whatever it
is that adults need to do to get through however
this child is right in front of me right here
right now and i would be doing them a disservice
if i just put a device in front of them and let
that do the raising? No. It's going to be me.
Nevertheless, it is going to be hard and strenuous
and I'm going to sweat and I'm going to get tired
and that's the part of raising up the next generation
is pushing ourselves still. What did I get from
my meditations? At a certain point when you're
going for your goal, the outside noise will either
drown you out or you'll see through it. Where
did I succeed at? Looking ahead and not being
satisfied with what's right here right now. Yeah,
I could say that in this current moment right
now, today, I owe no one. However, I still got
to stack up. Yeah, in this moment right now,
I could say that they do grocery shopping. That
doesn't mean that it's still time to go back.
Yeah, right now I know that I don't really have
that much driving to do. Still doesn't mean that
I shouldn't fill up. So success is really just
looking forward and not being comfortable with
just making the bar, but setting my own bar.
What made me smile today? July 21st, 2025. Monday.
Now it's 2 .12 p .m. Pacific Standard Time. After
a boy's weekend, just seeing him off into the
world. However, being right there with him and
checking us out on Dennis POV, YouTube, and Instagram.
being with them making sure that i'm brushing
their teeth and just seeing that full journey
of them as they go out into the world as they
came into me and they got the haircuts and chase
needs to go to the dentist and got some work
done and then we all made sure our hygiene was
on point and i always say that it's a vibe of
being smooth so it's not they can't hit smooth
when they first see me it has to be the next
day because We've got to clip your nails. We've
got to cut your hair. Then we've got to wash
your hair. Then the next day when you wake up,
we've got to make sure we lotion you up good
and then style your hair and then still brush
your teeth the night and the next morning and
then you're smooth status. We've got to hold
a standard. If we don't, who else will? What
standard will the next generation have to build
upon for their next generation going forward?
We are the pillars. Even though we stand on the
shoulders of giants. What do I think of my day
overall? Enchanting. Not for a specific thing
or object or person. However, just that grind
and that grit and that want to... create my own
be my own and live out the purpose that i was
meant to be here not what somebody else thinks
i should or what society says or what's most
safe or what pays the bills but what fulfills
me i hope you can feel the same way too and make
money and what grade do i give myself i'm going
with a b plus Why? Because I felt like I could
have wrote down more meditations. I felt I could
have still did more ab work. I felt I could have
read to my sons more. Even though we covered
a lot of ground and did a lot of things and there's
still meat left on the bone. You know, you try
so hard and you still miss 11%, 12%, whatever
have you. Of the material. However we still keep
going forward. And we still be easy on ourselves.
And I'm trying to give my own. Take my own advice.
I hope you are. You can be easy on yourself too.
And still. Being your own biggest critic. Never
being. Too comfortable. But yet still satisfied
in the moment. Knowing that. The next is not
promised. However you should be ready for it.
And with that. Once again.
