Let your mess be your message. I shared a story on FB to mark the 3 year anniversary of a death of a close friend. I talked about his struggles with his addiction and shed light on some of mine. Ultimately, he didn’t make it, but he left me with the advice to Never Stop working out. As result of sharing this story, his ex-girlfriend reached out to me to say that she hasn’t been herself since his passing. That when she read the post he could hear him encouraging her to get past her excuses and get back in the gym. I told her to send me a message when she gets her first workout in. She said that she was in the gym signing up at that moment! This shows that we relate to people more in the struggle than we do in the good times. Let your mess be your message.

MOLESKIN:
Tried to make this one continuous circuit today, but the new exercises and the multiple locations made it too complex. We just have to take it one circuit at a time.

Don’t shy away from high standards.  Identify areas in your life where you’re checking the box too quickly.  In the workout, maximum effort was required in order to take a short break.  In life, you must have the discipline to only break once the work is complete.

“The only thing in your control is effort.
That’s all & that’s everything.” -Mark Cuban

Perseverance. It is a word that I have struggled with as of late. I am in the very late stages of my Ph.D. dissertation and all of the motivation MUST be intrinsic. I must continue to persevere. I must continue to put the effort in every day to finish. This lesson isn’t just for my dissertation, but also for my job, my family, and my relationship with my M.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Since becoming a father 6+ years ago, I have developed a very serious devotion to St. Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father. St. Joseph is the patron saint of fathers. My favorite quote of St. Joseph’s from Scripture is, “…” That’s right, St. Joseph never speaks in Scripture. He was a man without words but not without a witness. His silent witness makes us even more aware of his actions which occurred during one crisis or another. Like St. Joseph, we don’t need words when actions will suffice. How can you develop your attentiveness to God’s will to be a man of action in the mold of St. Joseph?
