Show Up Every Day

Marcus Aurelius says: ‘’ You must build up your life action by action and be content if each one achieves its goal as far as possible and no one can keep you from this’’. Even after a solid purpose and a practical plan, almost 95% of us fail to achieve our goals. We fail because we fail to be consistent. We need to show up, every day, and put in the work. The simple act of showing up and immersing yourself in your craft does wonders for mental endurance. You build focus and come to terms with the arduous process that it takes to achieve anything great. You have to put in countless hours of work before you reap any of the benefits. Self Discipline is nothing more but the habit of consistency. Finding the motivation to do something again and again until you start seeing results. Even if you fail or don’t succeed, if you didn’t exercise, it doesn’t define your character. Your ability to keep going is what moulds you into a disciplined and strong person. A bad day doesn’t have to become a bad week, a bad week doesn’t have to become a bad year. The moment you wake up, remember, that the new day is a new life and move forward by opening your eyes and focusing on what is in front of you, which is life itself.

Man in The Arena

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

The “Ultimate” Beatdown

THE SCENE: Cool and calm
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Mosey to oval office (track) with some leg stretches along the way.
THA-THANG:

Since this was acting as my birthday queue, we did one of my favorite things….played ultimate frisbee! It was dark of course so we played on the Middle School football field where the most lights are. It worked but was a challenge to catch dew (see what I did there?) to the wet grass and when the disc was coming from the direction of the lights (since they are only really on one side of the field).

When the disc was dropped we did merkins for awhile but ended up modifying to keep game play moving. The team that was scored on had to do 10 burpees.

MARY:
cherry pickers, overhead claps, little baby crunches

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The day before I lost my patience and control when it was time for the boys to get in the car for school. It ultimately ended up well as I was able to model apologizing and talked with my son about how I could have handled the situation better. I have continued to reflect on the situation and come to realize that I lost control of myself because I felt like I lost control of the situation. My main takeaways from the experience were:

It’s okay to not be in control of a situation but it’s not okay to not be in control of yourself
In order to be able to respond in a better way, I need to work on myself outside of those moments. It’s much like sports, you get better outside of games. That’s what practice is for.
