Your Non-negotiable 5

The theme for the day is 5, obviously being the 5th of March. You see the number 5 in a lot of places such as books, articles, media, studies, and more:
– The 5 love languages
– 5 voices of communication
– 5 steps to living a healthier life
– 5 investments to increase your portfolio this year
– We have 5 fingers and 5 toes on each hand/foot (well, most of us)
– The song Mambo #5 (might not be a great example)

Humans clearly are drawn to the number 5 to remember things, to do things, to activate things in life, etc.

I’ve shared this before:
1% of your day = 15 minutes. When broken down into 5-minute increments of focus (example: 5 minutes of silence, 5 minutes of prayer, 5 minutes of reflection), can be a powerful way to purposefully take ownership over 1% of your day.

We’re in week 10 of 2024 – the 1st week in March. How are those New Year resolutions doing?

So while tapping into the number 5, the challenge is this: identify your non-negotiable 5.
– This week
– This month
– This year
– Your life?

Non-negotiable = not open for discussion or modification
– If there aren’t any non-negotiables in your life — everything is up for discussion or modification
– With others, sure, but also with yourself

I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

[running] OTB run on the knoxville half course

AO: running
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Toretto, Anchorman, Erector, Honeydew, Mermaid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 5
We met this morning to show Toretto more of the Knoxville Half course to help him get some knowledge for the April half (his first). Erector did mile repeats around us, and with the hills that we tackled today, our pace was a little slower than normal. That could also be a week of tough workouts and not feeling fresh.

We welcome anyone and any pace! If you or anyone you know wants to jump in on the OTB running group, we run most Saturday’s generally for one hour. Spread the word and help some guys get into running or help others connect to a group!
