Just Hard Work
today, I was my dad’s second set of hands while working on his semi tractor. My dad is a skilled mechanic and has always been able to figure out a way to fix almost anything. Often, he does not always have the right tool, so we have to combine brute force and leverage to get…

‘Til it Ticks Midnight
Remember, you will have disappointing days, feeling way off your routine and beating yourself up, but do not give up and chalk it off to the next day. I have found, far too many times, that trying to start over the next day is far more detrimental to your confidence and self worth and determination…

Chipping Away
Keep on chipping away, day after day, once you are consistent in a few habits, it becomes much easier to add more quality habits to your daily or weekly routine. Do not give up, keep going until what you are doing becomes second nature. I work a physically laborous job, do lifting hundreds, often thousands…

Momentum
One of the guys I like to watch on Youtube gave a list of statements that he lives by, one of them went like this “Never forget that momentum is real, it starts with making your bed and showing up”, now that is pretty spot on. Now, there are plenty of things that kill momentum,…

Encourage
I am keeping this one short, encourage others, lift others up, both family and friends. Do not put people down, mind your emotions.

Pursuit of Integrity
Today marks a full week of daily posts on this blog, It has gone pretty well and I have enjoyed it. My typing skills have not faded since college, since I do not really type for a living (right now, at least), but skills still need to be lubrication. The more you do something, the…

Trivial
Yesterday, I wrote about how the phone robs us of what time, time that is irreverseable. How much of what we see on social media or Youtube actually takes ahold of us and ruminates in our minds, wheter good or bad. But, we still struggle to avoid it, even though much of it has no…

Remember, the phone screen robs your time
Our phones have for many people (me included) become our means of disconnecting mentally, of easing the tension, perhaps in the same way alcohol does the same thing for those that drink. Too much of both are terribly bad for your health. One of my reasons for committing to write on this blog everyday is…
