Today is the most productive day I’ve had in a while. I woke up early to a morning check in call with Max, cooked a proper breakfast- drank way too much espresso with zero guilt- and dove right into actualizing on the priorities I set for today. As the day transitioned into the late afternoon, I was riding a wave of clarity, sharp focus, and a natural high. Segueing into the call, my energy and expectations for the momentum call were far exceeded by the connection, emotional outpouring, and the rejuvenating reminder that love is our power. Love is everything. Love is leadership. Love is the source, the life force, and sets the course for everything we do. Whether we exist within our home of love or not will determine the trajectory for each work day, for our businesses, for our relationships, and even our mundane trips to the grocery store. I had a heart wrenching realization on the phone with Trevor following our Momentum call… I have been placing a condition on the love I show to my family. I feel shame, but also joy that I’ve become aware of this. I had no choice but to allow myself to cry and release the negative force of the devil that’s been outwitting me for so long. For context; my family is very traditional, very conservative, and very religious. I am none of the above. In between that is where our thought patterns, our value systems, and our mindsets collide with the same tenacity as a pair of giraffes slamming their necks against each other. The condition I have been placing on my deep, radical, unrestrained love was that they come to understand/agree with me and the life I am building. Today, I’ve realized that this form of conditional, selfish, and short sighted love is not in alignment with the highest version of me and the man I’m transforming into. I realized that I’ve been doing this subconsciously, but I will never again allow myself to stoop to that level. Do I wish my family and I could see eye to eye? Absolutely. But these differences can never again stand in between me and the connection I know is possible with my Dad, my brother, and the rest of my relatives who still wonder when I’m coming home for good.

Something that a lot of men, including myself, try and avoid at all cost is going backward. We are programmed to move forward and anything that is perceived as a threat to this is usually not embraced. How about we rewrite that narrative… Follow up prompts… - But what does it truly mean to go backward? - What if it wasn’t possible to go backward? - What if going backward was an illusion based on holding onto the things that we have right now? - What if the thing that really mattered the most was developing ourselves and this could never actually go backwards? I’d love to hear some takeaways down below 👇🏼

Happy Wednesday sustainable success community! I have heard quite a lot about this group and the wisdom you all hold. I have been working on actualizing visions, dreams, and business ideas alongside Trevor Casey- a man who is the definition of leadership. I’ve learned so much since we’ve met and taken on the challenge of entrepreneurship together. I’m curious to see if this is where he gets his secret sauce… Jokes aside, I’m excited to be apart of this group! I’m eager to learn from all of you the lessons I need as I’m still taking baby steps in my entrepreneurial journey. Here’s to a 2025 full of actualized visions, fulfilled dreams, and loving communities 🥂
