Hello! Welcome to the report card. Every day
is a continuous test with no subject. What's
your answer? Was it meaningful? Authority. Who
has it over you? Do you even have it over yourself?
When's the last time? You went against what was
the path of least resistance. You went against
that voice in your mind that says it's hard.
Stop. I'm tired. When's the last time you've
tested that ground of mental constructs that
you stand on every day? We should do it more
often. And I'm no different. Stuck in your ways.
Thinking that everything is how it should be
and will be. The only thing that's constant is
change. And with that, let's start it! Song of
the day. oh on our 63rd playlist revelations
i'm loving this uh current playlist bad boys
by shine 31 days future solo by future really
been on future mode just uh Up tempo. What did
I read today? When I finish a book, I always
go back to classics. And today I was on The Laws
of Human Nature by Robert Greene. really stuck
out to me talking about the inner authority that
voice that serves as your conscience of our higher
self and thinking about how we already have that
voice however it's very quiet it's very weak
compared to our lower self and Making this voice
louder, allowing it to dictate our code of behavior.
I'm telling yourself, you have a responsibility
to contribute to the culture and times you live
in. Right now, you're living off the fruits of
millions of people in the past who have made
your life incomparably easier. through their
struggles and inventions. To serve this higher
purpose, you must cultivate what is unique about
you. Stop listening so much to the words of others
and the opinions telling you who you are and
what you should like and dislike. Judge things
and people for yourself. In the world full of
endless distractions, you must focus and prioritize.
You must adhere to the highest standards in your
work. And that really hit me a different way.
Just about elevating and, as my boy Rick says,
not allowing myself and not giving myself no
excuses. Was I physically active today? Solo
workout. And I really wanted to push myself and
go through the gauntlet yesterday. I just wanted
to get in the sauna and go on a run. But today
I did chest and tris and abs and ran for a mile
and then sauna. Just making that full complete.
It's the muscle groups. Plus the abs. Plus the
cardio. Plus sauna. And it's tough. I was able
to do it though. In an hour and a half. At least
from door to door. Takes time. Where did I get
from my meditations? You'll get lost trying to
prove who you are opposed to actually being who
you are But I see that today Checking off everything
I had on my list and not letting any grass grow
underneath my feet When there's an opportunity
where you're faced with either You can be more
relaxed and wait, or you can get work done and
see what lies ahead. I didn't relax. Fasted through
my 26, 24 -hour fast of the year. Even when the
house was empty, no kids, nobody. i still stuck
to what was important miss wifey though shout
out to her what made me smile today is august
26 2025 11 48 p .m pacific standard time i smiled
after i got home From Jim. And myself in the
reflection. Just knowing that. I gave it my all.
Tried my best. I left no stone unturned. When
it comes to family. When it comes to work. When
it comes to self. And we're talking about self.
We're talking about physical self. We're talking
about the mental spiritual self. And. was there.
So that made me smile. What do I think of my
day overall? Control. Control over myself, over
my actions, over my thoughts. Endurance. Even
when I went as far as I did, knowing that I went
further than what I could have done. Just kept
on pushing forward. And when you keep pushing
forward, you'll be amazed on how much further
you can push. What grade do I give myself? I'm
going with the A. When you work that hard and
you get an A, you're not surprised about it.
You know when you know more than 90 % of the
material. It's confidence which comes with true
understanding and knowledge. And I hope that
you can get there one day and knowing that that
grade is only good for today. And your success
of yesterday does not matter on what challenges
and tests lie ahead. So enjoy this moment. And
yet and still, you start again tomorrow. And
with that, once again!
