DAILY MINDSET "The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." Ralph Waldo Emerson Fate puts opportunity in front of us. Destiny is the result of what we choose to do with it. In turn, destiny is a choice. Not some predetermined thing of fairy tales and lore. We can sit and allow destiny to happen to us, or we can choose to have destiny happen for us. Don’t wait to be chosen. Choose. Decisions = Destiny. METCON FOR ALL CLASSES "WILD CARD" On the 10

DAILY MINDSET “What is important is seldom urgent, and what is urgent is seldom important.” - Dwight Eisenhower Dwight Eisenhower lived one of the most productive lives you can imagine. It comes with no surprise that his methods for time management have been studied by many. He creates for us a divide between two categories – urgent tasks, and important tasks. Urgent tasks are things that you feel like you need to react to. Emails, phone calls, texts, “the news”. Meanwhile, i

DAILY MINDSET “Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light.” - Elizabeth Roth As the rose bush grows, it creates more buds that it can maintain. It doesn’t grow like a tree, as it's physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. And if we don’t trim the buds down… the whole bush can exhaust itself and die. Ideas are like rose buds. They constantly need to be “pruned” or trimmed. If we don’t trim our idea

DAILY MINDSET “Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible to your approach.” - Tony Robbins We can’t always see what is ahead on the windy road. We don’t know if there will be a lightning storm, a massive oak tree blocking us, or maybe it’s road construction pushing a lengthy detour. All of which can cause a change in our planned arrival time. Direction without flexibility is a recipe for disaster, trying forcing a path that may not be possible. Yet flexibility witho

DAILY MINDSET “I would rather die of passion than boredom.” - Vincent Van Gogh There are times in our lives, whether it be during training, at work, or at home, where we question the choices we’ve made. They arrive shortly after we make an important decision. A form of “buyers remorse”, where we wonder if we’re on the right path. As humans, that’s what is safe to us, and we seek it out… knowing with certainty, in uncertain times, that we’re on the best path forward. But… do w

DAILY MINDSET “To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funnybone.” - Reba McEntire As we start our day, let’s think about these three. Wishbone - Nothing is too great, or out of reach. Faith and doubt are both self-fulling prophecies. Backbone - The unbreakable will to give our best, regardless of the circumstances. Through the lens of the growth-mindset, every outcome is an opportunity to become better. Funnybone - We do life for one reason: t

DAILY MINDSET “Trade your expectation for appreciation, and the world changes around you” - Tony Robbins Routines and habits become part of the norm. Morning coffee, listening to the radio, the drive to the field taking the kids to practice. We appreciate healthy habits, and let’s continue to reinforce them. There is however much to be said about taking a pause to our routine, to appreciate the fortune in our lives. The absolute abundance we are so lucky to have. In a world w

DAILY MINDSET “Most of the time we feel tired not because we’ve done too much, but because we’ve done too little of what makes us come alive.” - Jim Kwik We’re not going to pretend the hard times go away. And that we won’t need to do things that we’d rather not. We have commitments, obligations, and bills to pay. But when we find ourselves in a daily loop of non-stop “work”... we won’t feel like ourselves. But it’s not the time we put in at work that causes this. It’s the tim

DAILY MINDSET “Adversity causes some to break. For others, it breaks records.” Adversity can really, really hurt. Let’s not create an illusion that it’s all sunshine and rainbows. It will try our values, test our patience, and challenge who we are as human beings. It’s no warm cup of cocoa on a winter morning. But a warm cup of cocoa doesn’t make us better. A picture perfect day doesn’t make us better. We learn when we make mistakes. When we miss, trip up, face plant, and get
