WEBVTT 00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:08.679 Hello! Welcome to my daily report card. Every 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:12.140 day is a continuous test with no subject. What's 00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:16.500 your answer? What's meaningful? Fail promise. 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.719 At a certain point in life, there becomes a deterioration 00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.500 of conversations of Oh, we're going to be able 00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:29.359 to do this. When we make it, we're going to be 00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:34.880 able to do that. And eventually it leans into, 00:00:34.979 --> 00:00:39.460 well, we can't do that. And there's no way we 00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.460 can do this. And this is the only way we can 00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:47.259 do. Both sides of the spectrum. That dream and 00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:51.259 reality. That promise, that potential, unfilled. 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:59.119 And when does it stop? Is there a point to where 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.259 we failed so much to where this is reality? Or 00:01:03.259 --> 00:01:06.739 do we give up hope? Or do we constantly stay 00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:10.000 in that dream world and never come into the actual 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.480 realm of reality that we're in? However, would 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:20.200 you create your own reality? Sick world. Cold 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:28.709 world. Because who's to say who was right? And 00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:32.510 also with your peer groups and who you're around. 00:01:32.689 --> 00:01:35.370 How does that conversation change? And does that 00:01:35.370 --> 00:01:37.189 mean that you need to change the actual group 00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:41.150 that you're in? I know we're in a day one mentality. 00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:46.989 However, as you rise and as you grow, you meet 00:01:46.989 --> 00:01:50.069 new people as well. That fits your life in the 00:01:50.069 --> 00:01:56.640 current state that you're in. Tangle Web. And 00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:03.840 with that, let's start it. Song of the day. You 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.180 know, I really love when I have my family over, 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.360 especially those that are younger than me, because 00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:12.360 I can just hear their music and just put it on 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.479 my YouTube and just kind of keep my ear to the 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.080 street. So shout out to my brother for Nate for 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.520 coming through and spending some time with me 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:30.990 and Shifter by. i swear uh viso and it's like 00:02:30.990 --> 00:02:32.889 it was like one of those songs to where like 00:02:32.889 --> 00:02:35.830 it was so down the rabbit hole of suggestions 00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:42.669 of um youtube but it was the right one what i 00:02:42.669 --> 00:02:49.710 read today uh finished influence by mark colston 00:02:49.710 --> 00:02:54.710 second mark golston book and i really liked it 00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:59.500 I could see myself reading it again and just 00:02:59.500 --> 00:03:02.979 what I got from that is committed to great outcomes 00:03:02.979 --> 00:03:08.240 through genuine connections. You're stuck and 00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.879 you're here when you need to be and they're there. 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:15.699 Good intentions can steer good people the wrong 00:03:15.699 --> 00:03:22.120 way. After congratulations, ask what does this 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.500 mean for you? So just those are the notes that 00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:31.020 I really just got from it. I believe that's like 00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:35.139 my eighth book of the year. So right on schedule 00:03:35.139 --> 00:03:39.860 for my goal for the year was 11 because last 00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.039 year I did 11 and the year before that did 13. 00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:53.949 So was I physically active today? I can say no. 00:03:54.849 --> 00:04:00.090 These are the days where I want to say that this 00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:04.969 is the days where you work out for. When I was 00:04:04.969 --> 00:04:08.669 in the military, we had physical training every 00:04:08.669 --> 00:04:15.430 morning at 5 a .m. in college. And they used 00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:16.889 to say the physical training test should be your 00:04:16.889 --> 00:04:20.290 easiest day. And so I'm taking that same mentality, 00:04:20.389 --> 00:04:23.970 but also from Tim Grover. the man who trained 00:04:23.970 --> 00:04:28.269 Kobe and Michael Jordan, he instilled training 00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:31.490 on game day, something that wasn't done just 00:04:31.490 --> 00:04:33.930 to keep on the endurance to make you a better 00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:37.009 athlete. And so I'm caught in between those two, 00:04:37.110 --> 00:04:40.889 knowing that I'm physically able to, you know, 00:04:40.889 --> 00:04:44.269 be with my kids and keep up with them and outpace 00:04:44.269 --> 00:04:47.069 them. However, I'm not furthering myself. And 00:04:47.069 --> 00:04:51.730 so I read something. from i'm on this facebook 00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:56.509 um fitting 40 even though i'm not 40 or 38 or 00:04:56.509 --> 00:05:06.350 37 nevertheless it's goals and um read a uh somebody 00:05:06.350 --> 00:05:10.110 left a quote of recommitting to yourself every 00:05:10.110 --> 00:05:13.089 day and that stuck with me about literally just 00:05:13.089 --> 00:05:15.629 waking up and saying i'm committing to my body 00:05:15.629 --> 00:05:20.209 on a daily and that's deep Even if it means getting 00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:22.490 abs, and even if that means getting your family 00:05:22.490 --> 00:05:24.910 involved, even if that means after you took the 00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:27.069 kids out all day and they're tired and done, 00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:28.709 that still doesn't mean you don't get your physical 00:05:28.709 --> 00:05:32.709 activity. What did I get from my meditations? 00:05:34.970 --> 00:05:37.670 There has to be a balance between your dreams 00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:40.750 and your actual reality you live. Leaning too 00:05:40.750 --> 00:05:46.149 much in either way will cause disillusion. What 00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:50.399 did I succeed at today? sticking to the script 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:56.019 being in the right place at the right time in 00:05:56.019 --> 00:05:58.620 the right uniform going back to my military um 00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:06.579 sayings and understanding when a lot of things 00:06:06.579 --> 00:06:09.680 when there's a lot of moving parts and a lot 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:14.740 of changes come that you just know what your 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:16.879 principles are and you stick to them and if you 00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.399 stick to that then Nothing won't get lost in 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.660 the wayside. So that means making sure I'm there 00:06:24.660 --> 00:06:29.120 for my kids. Making sure they're dressed appropriately. 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.459 Make sure they're healthy. Make sure the house 00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:33.819 is fed. Make sure the house is clean, stocked. 00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:36.459 Making sure I'm going to work on time. Being 00:06:36.459 --> 00:06:42.000 there for my patients. And giving them that appropriate 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.120 attention. Not just my mind is somewhere else 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:51.870 and it's obvious. So that was success. What made 00:06:51.870 --> 00:06:58.189 me smile today? Just sitting at the table with 00:06:58.189 --> 00:07:03.129 my brother and my spouse and just making actual 00:07:03.129 --> 00:07:08.490 moves to become better. Whether that be just 00:07:08.490 --> 00:07:10.829 looking over a resume, talking about things that 00:07:10.829 --> 00:07:15.629 need to be done, just those minute steps to make 00:07:15.629 --> 00:07:22.759 a... a grand leap so that was a smile and also 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:26.000 being able to just have my full family at the 00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:38.480 dinner table what do i think my dear bro um it 00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:44.519 was challenging trying understanding quiet calm 00:07:46.250 --> 00:07:49.350 What grade do I give myself? I'm going with a 00:07:49.350 --> 00:07:53.889 B. Solid B. Because this is a streak of days 00:07:53.889 --> 00:07:57.329 now where I have not actually worked my body. 00:07:57.790 --> 00:08:02.269 Yeah, I finished a book. Yeah, I did my meditations. 00:08:02.310 --> 00:08:05.170 However, I have to address every part of yourself. 00:08:05.490 --> 00:08:09.870 And so, yeah, and still we have to not be so 00:08:09.870 --> 00:08:13.870 hard on ourselves as well. So I'm trying to do 00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:18.310 that. But it's hard. It's only one life to live 00:08:18.310 --> 00:08:21.689 and there's so many things to do. And one thing 00:08:21.689 --> 00:08:27.089 could just set you off. Or so you think. Nevertheless, 00:08:27.209 --> 00:08:31.209 keep pushing, keep trying. And maintain that 00:08:31.209 --> 00:08:33.990 balance between your reality and your dream. 00:08:34.649 --> 00:08:36.309 And with that, once again!
