I am back to my focus on fitness. As I've spent more and more time researching how to live a better life and coming to love my life I've realized I need to extend that life. I need to do everything I can to enjoy more quantity of this life I've made such great quality of. #gratitude #fitness #transformationtuesday #weightloss #bodyfat

I also said in the podcast that I would mention my numbers. so here they are

Weight:261.3

Great News lot's of room for #personalimprovement

I’ve been thinking a lot lately on mindset. Not even mindset specifically as much as how it plays in hacking life in general. The most limited of all our assets is time.

I constantly hear people pining for more time, but it is in a way that comes from stress and I just don’t feel it in that way. I yearn for more time in a way that I am constantly learning and growing and I just can’t absorb enough material in the 18 hours a day that I have. I can’t get more time, not in today, not in this week, or even in life in general(I’ve got theories on how modern medicine will help that but let’s not get too far off the path here) 

So with no more time available, the only option left is to get more from our time. This brings me back to mindset. You can’t get more hours, so what are you doing to get more out of your hours. 

I heard a story that really tipped my viewpoint on mindset. I constantly think about my mindset, but what about the mindset

I have truly been enjoying the podcast so far. Some posts have been better than others and some of them have been just terrible(feel free to refer back to Episode :027 - Hot wet trash lol) but it was necessary for ME and that is the beauty of all of this. I truly hope it helps others find their happiness but it really has been surprisingly good for me too.

A friend who listens to the podcast suggested that there be themes to the days. I had already been working on this idea with Fireside Fridays`But I absolutely loved her suggestion of Throwback Thursdays. Let’s be honest, I LOVE alliteration… always. 

I decided this was a perfect vehicle to open up about some of the past portions of my life. So moving forward once a week I am going to #ThrowbackThursday to some portion of my life. I am sure a lot of these will be difficult or unhappy for some of you but one thing I want to make VERY clear is that I am completely ok with every part of what has happen

Stick with it...it's 15 minutes of just some thoughts loosely around doing

Perspective and mindset are funny things. We all have convictions and beliefs that we feel are strongly rooted and most of us would say near infallible. Yet the reality is you can talk yourself into…or out of, nearly anything. A small shift in perspective or mindset and you’ve got all the tools you need to tell yourself what you WANT to hear.

The problem with the default of human nature, or more specifically, the default society has taught most of us. Is that we focus on the negative. We condition ourselves to the can’ts the reasons why not, and the myriad of bullshit excuses.

We are all perpetrators of this. At some point on out lives we have made decisions based on what we thought we couldn’t do. The shitty thing is we got that from somewhere.

My brother was always better than me at sports. I can never be best.

The fuck is that mindset…I am awful at softball, but I can look at nearly anything mechanical and tell you how it works, t

Do you like people who steal children?
Do you like people who sell children as sexual objects?

Yeah...me neither!!!

But it's My Birthday (January 22nd) Don’t buy me shit, I have everything I need. But you CAN buy me a little better sleep at night knowing we helped save some kids. 

Also... I’m gonna match all donations up to 500.

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to The Exodus Road. I've chosen this nonprofit because their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate with me. Every little bit will help me reach my goal.

I also wanted to directly thank those who have already helped
