Are you all in or faded in your freedom

Growing capacity has the greatest power to empower within our journey. A desire for balance is a destination that is forever moving. Body being balance and business - growing capacity = doing what the f%^k works - WTFW. This is growing capacity - if I am doing the wrong s*&t I am not growing my capacity to experience life I am growing my ability to live life on the wrong path. Growing capacity is embracing the journey. Empowered by the unknown as I am always in a state of becoming. My father - the power of associations Right people - right associations are empowering assets. Wrong people, wrong associations create demand for force. The only way to live life consistently growing capacity is embracing evolving CORE 4 followed by clarity within daily actions defined in the door / todo list. The hits, targets, todos must have body, being, balance and business. I must have absolute commitment to the voice, my voice, my mission, my vision, my purpose. Living life - 
A. Empowered VS Forced Empowered = Body, being, balance and business fuel my soul purpose. Forced = success within business untrue to my soul purpose and I create a sense of unworthiness. A reflection of the right people, clients, employees, leaders within an organization. Right associations are empowering assets - universal truth - 1 - win/win. 
- purpose driven authenticity. Wrong associations demand reactive force win / lose 
- Blinding - I will never see on this path.
- forced state of status
- While body, being and balance are buried alive. My questions for you - Where are you growing your capacity and where are you forcing life? Who are your right associations and who are your wrong associations?

Felt off - questioned covid - got real and realized... I am the problem - I am the solution. Tired Wore out Head banging Taste and smell was off Chills Went back and forth for a week feeling better then worse. Today I feel normal - what the hell caused this. My mind jumps the gun thinking the flu / covid / life... So I took a little ownership of my mind instead of renting our my own truth to the stories of the masses. I am the problem I am the solution - how about you? Do you point the finger - ok ok maybe you now someone who is pointing the finger instead of asking the question what got me here. I made a list of all the shit I have done wrong VS the flu or covid or..... Here’s what I came up with For the last two weeks I have not drank as much water I backed off Vitamin C I backed off multivitamins’ I backed off amino acids I had 4 different times in the last 2 weeks family came into town and I ate like I was on vacation. I have slept like shit cause my baby girl keeps getting up at 1 am. There is a solution. I backed off walking in the AM as much. I backed off deep meditation settling for breathing meditation I shifted from a proactive state to a reactive state I shifted from moving within my day with power to forcing life as it was forcing me. What the hells the solution? What’s the path? What’s possibility? #1 Stop lying - this is on me. #2 Stop reacting - get back to moving from a place of earned power. How Own the morning Stop doing the shit that takes from my own ability to have a body on fire. My question for you? Where are you pointing the finger at a society accepted excuse? Where do you need to look in the mirror - take account of your actions? Where do you need to stop being reacting and starting owning your day being proactive with the things that make you - unchained from excuses and whatever life throws at you?

Will I fail as a father - yes! Will my son fail - yes! Will my babygirl fail - yes! Will they be able to navigate this life? Will they live a purpose driven life? Isn’t it crazy our kids can say - you have no idea what it’s like to be a kid these days and they would be right! 2021..... this isn’t 1980 and they ain’t playing Atari...this is real There is no room for ignorance... only purpose driven authenticity. I know great men, great parents, successful and full of love and courage... yet their kids are walking the line between life and death. What do we do..... lead by example like the gift of today is always on the line. How - live the Warrior. I start my day with the power of Warrior CORE 4 - my son sees it - my son does it - my son is empowered by it.... and he’s 7 years old. So damn proud of my boy. My son - he earns the power of presence every morning. Crazy thing is - last night I picked him up from his friends after crossfit. He told me - guess what dad... I talked to my friend about Warrior CORE 4 and he said he was going to do it in the morning. Can’t make this up - just a powerful reflection of purpose driven action. If you want to know more about Warrior, CORE 4 send me a message, give me a call, text. My son ... he will succeed, he will fail and living the Warrior way he will learn to learn through it all. He will step from the peaks and valleys a greater young man. He will always be in a state of becoming just as I am. How about you?

Powerful lesson learned from a Ted talk I listened to while walking in the morning. Practice rigorous authenticity - surrender the outcome - do the work. I reflected on Warrior and the mindset of be real, raw, relevant so that our results reflect our true desires. Maybe these words spoken by this gentlemen on Ted talks rang true as I linked them to what I have learned living the warrior way. Maybe my own recent shortcomings made the words he said sting a little more than usual. I am either authentic or I am a liar. Its that simple. The tricky part is when I hold back from being authentic and ... the only one who knows is me. This guy who at one point used a rope as a belt was speaking from a place of power. He wore no mask - he was honest - he owned the fact at one point he was an addict. The truth of his pain set him free as he stood face to face with reality. Empowering to see, hear, watch others as they live life unchained. It was a powerful reminder I am on the right path no matter how bumpy shit gets at times. Freedom is not covering up all my failures - it’s embracing the power... the fact I have lived. I have lived in the dirt of Iraq, I have fought and failed as a man, I have crossed lines, I have made grave mistakes and yet all of it was the darkness of my life that lead to the light of here and now. I live less in regret everyday as I live the Warrior way. I am more interested if not curious how I can continue to bring this all together in way that serves me and those I associate with. Share the lessons - surrender the outcome. The only thing greater than reflections of the past and or dreams of the future is the undeniable empowering moments of here and now. Live it, share it - embrace the greatest gift - this moment.
