Cook rice. Remember, Chet, talk does not cook rice. Thanks, Reda, for this learning.
A new alertness to the senses is required to feel life. Excellence requires you feel it, not overthink it.
The deliberate practice of the fundamentals is the key to life. Keep working, Chet, you have much to learn to master this great art of living, much less the art of building yourself and others. Keep working.
Stop obsessing on outcomes. Focus on the fu%^ing process. Saying it does not matter. Believing it does. The most amazing behaviors are rooted in deeply rooted beliefs. Go deeper, Chet.
Writing truth is the most important time in any BTL practice. Remind ’em, Chet. They have no idea. Hacks are hell. The long way home is the shortest way ’round. Thanks, Clive.
Marry the mundane. Master the craft. Lose yourself in service to God and those he placed in your path. Remember, dumbASS, start with Miss, mom, children and move out from there. Do not lose patience or hope. Every family member is one of your loved ones. Be with. Patient. Give more than you take. STOP keeping score. You suck at it. Give more. Never stop.
Every client deserves full presence and full throttle without expectation of excellence. Focus on bringing excellence. Model the way. Focus on the few. Stop keeping score. Pour out and allow God to fill up. Stop expecting praise for performance. Give and let it go. Much to learn.
Much to be thankful for.
Grateful for JimmyTHEgant and his book recommendation – Zen and the Art of Archery. Grateful for Rachel and her toughness. Grateful for Jigs and his tendency to jiggle. Grateful for Bk and his BIGass heart. Grateful for Baby Kass and his BADass brain. Grateful for Lockton and 25 years of transforming together. Grateful for golf with Jordy and Lil Jeggie, my two favorite golf buddies. Grateful for Grumdelagrum coming back into my life after so many years. So, so grateful.
Grateful for the joy I felt in team 31 kickoff practice with Mandy’s maniacs. So much joy in one locker room. God, help them believe in themselves as we believe in them. Grateful for the 3PP and my cycling buddies who won’t leave my sorriness even when I tell them to. Grateful for all the surprising notes of love whenever this old dog hits a bump in the road. Grateful for a couple surprise sCORE’s from two former practice participants from over a decade ago writing me this week to tell me they are still BBTL. Wanted me to know. Smiling.
Grateful for “my” few, which are becoming many. Blessed by so many. Undeserved. Underappreciated. Unbelievable. Makes me feel unbreakable. Thank you.
Grateful for Miss. Her meals made with love. Shared with love. Filled with laughs and love. Grateful for Grace. OMG am I grateful for Grace. God, help me give more. God, help me stay humble. God, help me. Amen.
This was not my “normal blog.” Just wanted to give you all a taste of my journal. For what it’s worth. Thanks for your attention. Grateful for you too. God bless you. Peace.
Live hard. Love ❤️ harder…
Grateful…
