Every man has those days where everything feels heavier than it should. You’re not broken for feeling that way. It’s part of the process. What’s one thing that helps you get your head above water when life feels like too much?

Tyson finally using the cold plunge after looking at it since last Saturday morning setup. Thanks for the inspo Kevin.

I’m sitting in a waiting room getting my cars oil change today. I’m noticing so many tired faces, self consumed people, eating fast food, plugging away on phones, not making any eye contact. Two TVs are on. One being a dope Korean story of dedication and war, the other, little house in the prairie. No one’s watching either. Brought me to how I am not the same as the people in room. Then the deeper dive starts. I’ve spent my entire life in sports teams and behavioral health and social work. Dissection of opponents on opposite teams, beating defenses, finding holes and knifing through them. How does all of this apply to my life now? what does full circle mean? Is it a completion? Or is it an evolution of the skills we’ve learned to apply to the next step? I landed at using the skills that I’ve known and used to be successful in my lifetime as “the way”. No wheel needed to be recreated. The experiences speak for themselves. The daily consistent practices. Full circle ⭕️ may mean realizing the importance of simplicity in practices and consistency it takes to implement the changes. Then going out and continuing the journey in the similar way but bring the knowledge to others. What does full circle mean to you?

Just how am I supposed to have confidence in my team? They mess everything up. Same comment, different environment: This is why we can’t have nice things. You kids destroy everything you touch. Another environment: I don’t think my wife even cares about us anymore. She’s just busy all the time and does all her housework in the evening. You may have another place in your life that you can use this tool, these were just 3 examples I came up with to teach on. Alex Hormozi gave us the magic stick to which we can gauge where we are on the treadmill of success in just about anything: If you don’t have confidence, build evidence. If you don’t have evidence, build skill. If you don’t have skill, build discipline. If you don’t have discipline, build accountability. If you don’t have accountability, change your environment. Key point in this is that you must take action on it in order to get to where you want or need to be. Your team needs you to integrate the accountable AND the discipline. Just getting in trouble for failing to measure up isn’t going to get you there at the next time you’re in the boss’s office. Your kids need a challenge, and support that leans into better habits. Your wife - well, have you even told her what you want? Don’t wait till she changes the damn environment. Jeez, atleast your kids aren’t about to divorce you. These are fundamental hurdles we face. The tool WILL provide the outcome you seek if you’ll just do the work with enough repetition. The brutal truth is that we can control an outcome to some extent, so we have a responsibility to ourselves to do so. “It takes 10,000 hours to learn a skill” Ever heard that? There’s a ton of cliche statements that will fit this - let’s hear something from you on what comes to mind here. In the comments I’ll share something personal.
