My phone or my son - I must choose over and over and over! 10 minutes is 936 hours. S1 EP 20

TITLE: The phone or my son - I must pick ... over and over! THE
STORY: Just last night he was playing Xbox and I was on many phone.
I was not doing something productive. I looked up and realized I am
giving up time with him .... for this. If I am not producing I am
wasting time that could be spent with him and from now on I am not
giving that up. WHAT GOT ME REFLECTING: The Warrior Gratitude Stack
Every morning my mission is to start my day with power. One of the
greatest ways I get centered is by giving thanks for that which I
have. I do this with the gratitude stack. A series of powerful
questions to amplify what I am thankful for. Today I did one for my
son. HIGHLIGHT FROM THE GRATITUDE STACK FOR MY SON: I am just so
damn proud of him. From helping set up the house with Christmas
decorations to watching out for his baby sister. He is becoming
everyday a great young man. DESIRES AND ACTIONS DEFINED WITHIN THE
GRATITUDE STACK: Fight for my time with Derek. Make the time we
have count. Play games with him, uno, Xbox, baseball, fight with
him in the bed, do the things that makes him happy. LESSON LEARNED:
The greatest gift of seeing him in who he is becoming is a
combination of the path he is on and the time we spend together.
That path is on me as a father to build initially. The time we
spend together must not be wasted. REVELATION FROM THIS EXPERIENCE:
Life is fueled by what we do right! Our life’s fuel is taken by
what we do wrong. My life is fueled by expansion in the frames of
life I choose to live within. From working my body to my spiritual
world, from my family to my business. My mission is to fight for
greater clarity in those areas. My fight is for the moments I have
- do what fuels the fire, be a man showing up with earned faith for
my family and everyday know that - today is a new day. What I bring
to the table today is earned in the actions of today. ACTION GOING
FORWARD: Do what fuels my purpose or spend quality time with my
family. MY QUESTION FOR YOU: Where in your life in your body, your
spiritual world, your family and or business - are you giving up
quality time sedated on your phone? This seems so irrelevant - yet
the 2, 3 or 4 minutes wasted here and there over the years end up
being a huge impact on the reflection of all we have done. Imagine
10 minutes a day or about an hour a week being 52 hours in a year X
18 years. 936 hours or 39 days - would you give that up for surfing
the web or some action that takes from the very person you are
becoming. I am questioning you because everyday I am questioning
myself - am I doing enough of what matters? Answer the question and
lets get better for who we are becoming and those we love. Branden

This challenge has giving me the ability to pivot, to learn, grow -
gain clarity I could only earn within this process. I believe its
not the destination - its about the journey and the man we are
becoming on a day to day basis. Branden MacKenzie Proud Member of
