There is no way I would have got out of bed if it wasn’t for the accountability factor of the PAX. If there’s anything you want to succeed find someone will hold you accountable to growth.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We should strive to be our best everyday whether it’s being the best husband, father, son, brother, co-worker, etc. I don’t feel like I’m being my best every day. I struggle to consistently live up to my potential. The good news is every day we have a chance to be our best.

Good and bad things happen every day.  On July 20th, the following things happened:

  • 1921 Congresswoman Alice Mary Robertson becomes the first woman to preside over the floor of US House of Representatives
  • 1944 Death March of 1,200 Jews from Lipcani Moldavia begins
  • 1967 Race riots in Memphis, Tennessee
  • 1969 1st Moon Landing: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin step out from Apollo spacecraft 11,530 million watch live global broadcast
  • 1976 Hank Aaron hits 755th and last home run off Angels Dick Drago
  • 1995 Shaquem Griffin, American one-handed NFL player (Seahawks), was born (very inspirational story – look him up!)

One of my favorite quotes is:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ― Edmund Burke

Let’s be good men. Let’s serve others. Let’s love everyone. Let’s strive to be better each and every day.

Iron Sharpens Iron – Let’s sharpen each other and make us better every day!
