Day 3,132

Growth:

How many stories are written about someone whose life has been comfortable, easy, and without challenge? We are forged in the crucible of challenges, setbacks, and obstacles, the struggles help distill us into our best selves – so long as we choose a growth mindset throughout those moments of difficulty. The frustrating things have already happened, why not choose to create a positive through it? All we control is how we respond, choose growth.

Appreciation:

I cannot even begin to count how many times I felt pulled towards purpose and values today. I did not live the day perfectly, but I lived it better as a result of keeping both in mind more often.

Purpose and values – what wonderful guiding lights to draw us from the gravitational pull of the drift of a life lived without intention.

Presence:

Nothing quite like turning on the sound cancellation feature on my AirPods, blasting some Rage Against the Machine, and throwing around some weights! My legs and abs have felt thrashed from yesterday’s lift, the same way my shoulders and chest will likely feel tomorrow. Progress isn’t made in moments of comfort, it lies within discomfort. Savor the soreness, it is a sign of growth.

Thanks!!!
