Have not been my best lately.
Going through the motions.
Things felt sort of grey.
On a bit of autopilot.
Got complacent.
Last night I decided F*** THAT!!!!
Journaled, prayed, went to bed early & woke today to just be a freaking SAVAGE.
Doing hard things like sprints until I'm gonna puke always makes me feel alive, back on mission, & GETS ME OUT OF MY OWN HEAD.
I'm not talking to everybody here, but I'm talking to ONE PERSON.......
Go push yourself today!
Do something that scares you.
Go as hard as you possibly can!!
Reject average & embrace SAVAGE.
Reject good & soar for great.
We are only here once, stop wasting time!!

A doctor told my wife she couldn’t get pregnant.
My wife told me this when we started dating & I was open to adoption as being a father was very important to me.
Wild thing is when we got engaged I started having VIVID dreams of a little girl.
I saw her smiling.
I saw us laughing & playing in our yard.
I started telling my wife.
And then we got pregnant on our honeymoon. ❤️
I knew before the ultrasound it was MY GIRL that I had already seen so many times in my dreams.
Fatherhood means everything to me.
This little angel makes me want to be a better man each day.
We watched 8 innings of a baseball game tonight.
We chatted a few hours, ate ice cream, laughed & played funny guessing games.
On nights like this I can’t sleep.
I stay up praying & thanking God for wife, my kids, my life & all the blessings. 🙏

At 29 I sat on my rooftop of my condo overlooking Chicago thinking if I wasn’t such a pansy I would just jump off & end it.
I was recently cheated on & divorced.
I was drinking 6 days a week & popping pills like they were skittles.
I was around drinking buddies often, but ALWAYS FELT ALONE.
I couldn’t get off the couch for days during some periods.
I felt my best days were behind me & couldn’t see a way out.
It was the lowest depression I’ve ever experienced.
And then………

My home is paid off.
My wife & I allegedly own it FREE & CLEAR.
But today we got a bill for property taxes.
If we don't pay it, ARMED MEN will come & take it from us & then cage me until I pay them MY MONEY.
So do I own it?
Am I really free?
I already pay 35% income tax + easily another 15% taxes in:
-Sales.
-Gas & fuel.
-Capital gains.
-Plethora of other taxes.
TAXATION IS THEFT.
Property tax shouldn't exist.

Sydney McLaughlin set a world record in the 400 Meter Hurdles.
She said afterwards:
"Records come and go, but the Glory of God is Eternal. I don't deserve anything. But by grace through faith, Jesus has given me everything."

Harrison Butker is Catholic.
He gave a speech at a Catholic university to Catholic students encouraging them to focus on families over careers.
A pretty common Catholic viewpoint.
He has been CRUCIFIED by the mainstream media.
Petitions are being signed for the Chiefs to release him because of this.
These WOKE WARRIORS had ZERO PROBLEM & never insisted NFL teams release players like:
-Tyreek Hill, pled guilty to assaulting his pregnant GF in 2014, charged with assaulting his 3 year old son in 2019 & assault at a Marina in 2021.
-Deshaun Watson sexually assaulting over 20 women & settling out of court with them.
-Von Miller allegedly assaulted his pregnant girlfriend in 2023.
-Countless DUIs, assaults, drugs & fatherlessness.
But yes WOKE WARRIORS, try to cancel the guy that says CHOOSE FAMILY OVER CAREER.
THESE PEOPLE CONTINUALLY SHOW YOU WHO THEY ARE.
Also, I see things everyday I do not agree with.
Radical idea, Instead of pout & try to cancel people that said them I just ignore it & continue having a great day.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
But 7 years ago I was constantly ANXOUS & DEPRESSED & prescribed anxiety meds.
Everyday I snoozed my alarm, ate lucky charms for breakfast, worked a desk job, ate out junk for lunch & watched TV at night.
I got VERY LITTLE movement or sunlight.
I was 33 years old.
This is unpopular but I wasn’t depressed or anxious because I was born that way.
It was 100% my lifestyle CHOICES.
No doctor asked me what I ate, how much I moved or what my morning routine looked like.
They said TAKE THIS PILL.
I did & felt worse.
Until one day at 34 I decided NO MORE.
In tears one night I wrote rules for myself.
A simple framework that I could do daily.
That anyone could do daily!
Within a few months I was off meds.
At almost 40 I’m in the best shape of my life physically, mentally & spiritually.
I truly believe we could bankrupt big Pharma if people:
•Ate real food.
•Prioritized walking outside daily.
•Sought PURPOSE over just dollars.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR & not telling you to get off meds.
Some people 100% need them & I’m grateful we live a time where they exist.
But YOU SHOULD 100% try LIFESTYLE CHANGES FIRST before you ever take a pill.

"But dad, out of 60 kids I'm one of only 3 in my grade WITHOUT a phone!"
Me: "I'm glad to know there's 2 other sets of great, intentional parents besides your mom & I!!"
My daughter: uhhhh dad......
HOLD THE LINE PARENTS.
Kids don't need access to EVERYTHING in the world so young.
Loving your kids isn't GIVING THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANT.
Loving your kids is teaching them:
•DISCIPLINE.
•DELAYING GRATIFICATION.
•SETTING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES.
It is absurd so many CHILDREN have phones.
Most adults can't use them responsibly.
You're setting your child up for failure handing them unrestricted access to everything so young.

I don't ask for a lot.
But one of my wife's really good friends needs prayer.
She's an amazing woman, pillar of the foster community in Vegas, & has 3 little girls she adopted under 5.
She suffered a severe injury a couple days ago & has been unresponsive.
They are talking about preparing hospice tomorrow 😢.
I believe so much in the power of prayer.
Will you please take 30 seconds & pray for NICOLE.
•Pray for a miracle & that God moves.
•Pray for her children & family.
•Pray for the doctors.
I truly believe God is still in the miracle business.
Please pray. 🙏

•Paid off home.
•Paid off solar panels.
•No credit card or car payments.
•Paid off 68 acre farm. (Investment we cash rent out).
WE OWE ZERO MONEY TO BANKS OR ANYOME!

Truthfully, this decision cost our family money.
We grew up on the bottom cusp of lower middle class.
But looking back,
My childhood was the greatest!
I never had the newest anything.
We didn’t dine at fancy places or take extravagant vacations.

He also:
•Coached all my sisters teams
•Made every dance recital of hers
•Coached me in: ⚾️ 🏀 ⚽️ 🏃🏈

A BOY becomes a MAN when:
1) He’s no longer a slave to his impulses.
Chooses discipline over dopamine.
2) He takes ownership of everything.
Doesn’t pass blame.
3) His emotions no longer dictate his actions.
Expresses emotions, but they don’t lead him.
I know 19 year old MEN & 60 year old BOYS.

I doubt this was the best form of Evangelism but.......
I am in the gyms PUBLIC Sauna this morning after a lift, there's 5 of us & it's a small space.
A young 20's kid is BLASTING music with no headphones.......
Blasting rap music about b!tches at 630am in a public sauna.....
"Hey bro, you got headphones?"
I ask.
MIND YOUR BUSINESS I'm not hurting anyone.......
Deep breath & an internal chuckle.
I was 23 once too.
"So, brother we agree you aren't physically hurting anyone, but you do get it's a public sauna & so basic human etiquette would say if you want to listen to that music -- awesome do it, just put headphones on so we all don't have to."
Tells me to "shut up & mind my own business......"
I don't say a word.
I stand up & go sit right next to him.
Like 6 inches away.
He glances over at me.
I pull up Phil Wickham "WHAT AN AWESOME GOD" & say you know what bro you win, let's all just mind our own business.
I blast (full volume) WHAT AN AWESOME GOD right next to him until he leaves 5 minutes later.......

My wife had a doctor tell her she had no viable eggs & that we wouldn’t ever have biological children.
As we were dating we decided on adoption as we both wanted to be parents.
We had a short engagement of about 6 months, but a couple months in I started having VIVID DREAMS of a little girl.
I saw her face.
She was the most beautiful little angel.
We would swing, dance, laugh & I would always picture her & I in this big open field spinning in circles together.
I started telling my wife that I truly believed somehow we are going to have a biological daughter.
On our honeymoon she got pregnant.
15 weeks later before the doctor told us we already knew - it was a little GIRL!
She is 8 now & my best buddy.
She’s the Apple of my eye & makes me a better man everyday.
I’m so grateful I get to be her dad.
I’m proud of a few things in my life, but none more than being a present dad.
I will always cherish, protect, empower, encourage, believe & love her unconditionally.
Wherever she goes in life a piece of me will always go with her.
Thank you Lord for the incredible GIFT of being a father.
There is no bigger honor in my life. ❤️

A few years ago we were in a terrible marriage.
Our house wasn’t a home, it was a war zone.
We didn’t speak days at a time.
-We said the D word
-All we have almost wasn’t
-My kids could’ve not had a dad around
Last night my wife said,

I'm lifting weights yesterday.
Incline bench.
A girl walks by wearing close to nothing.
Probably 25 years old.
Butt cheeks hanging out, see thru shirt.
Like I'm fine with whatever most people want to do, but this was ON PURPOSE for attention.
Spandex "shorts" that were closer to a thong than shorts & a completely see thru shirt with no bra.......
I'm listening to a sermon while I lift as she walks by.
I said a quick prayer for her & made it a point to not look over once.
I prayed God would continue to help me view all women as HIS CHILDREN.
I prayed no one would give her attention & a seed would be planted that she is worth more than this.
I thought about saying something, but tbh I assumed she was filming & wanting some kind of reaction.
I would guess 95% of men want zero part of this at the gym.
Made me really sad.
Can't fathom how sad I would be if my daughter ever did something like this.....

Yesterday we spent 2 hours running, dancing & playing in the airport & a dozen people stopped us to say KIND words.
•Beautiful kids.
•Your family looks so fun!
•I love watching you guys you’re all so happy.
I’m yet to encounter ONE HATEFUL thing said in real life.
It’s critical to not let keyboard warriors, trolls & losers warp your perception of reality.

There's an awesome 61 year old JACKED black dude I would consider one of my best friends.
We lift at the same time everyday for 4/5 years.
We chat almost everyday.
We encourage one another.
•I know all about his family & business.
Today, I walked to my gym.
(4 miles).
He saw me a 1/2 mile out & scooped me up! Hop in bro! You are family!
I love this guy.
I have no idea what his name is & am certain he doesn't know mine.
•Bro.
•Stud.
•Champ.
•Beast.
•Brother.
•My man.
Is all we say to one another.
He's one of my best friends.

I’m grateful he decided NOT to be “normal” & climb the company ladder.

I’ll also be kind, love & pray for our leaders & those that don’t know Jesus.
People are really showing you who they are in the open now.
Believe them.
There is GOOD & there is EVIL.
I believe a time is coming where you’ll need to CHOOSE which side you’re on.

Unpopular (but wise) opinion:
I see this idea floating around that because DOGE is cutting so much money off the federal budget they are going to send every American like $5,000.
Have we learned nothing?
PAY OFF THE 36 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT!!!!
We collectively owe $36,219,764,087,578.
More dollars simply means more inflation & higher cost of goods.
Pay off the debt & then end property taxes, estate taxes, etc. & let WE THE PEOPLE KEEP OUR MONEY.
Make the tax code so simple my 4th grader could understand it.
It's 72,000 pages currently.
For reference THE BIBLE (a large book) is 1,200 pages.

We have 1 bio daughter, fostered 7 children (reuniting 5) & adopting our 2 sons a couple years ago.
We are beyond financially blessed, want for nothing & able to give back which makes us happier than anything.
None of this possible without TWO MEN LIVING ON FIRE LIVES & inviting me to grow with them.

Over 2,000 years ago a man named JESUS of Nazareth was sentenced to the worst kind of death a person could endure.
“Crucify Him” the mob chanted.
The cross was meant to impose the maximum amount of pain & suffering.
Even while being brutally tortured Jesus spoke several times from that cross.
On this Good Friday let’s examine each of His statements & take HOPE from them.

The first picture is 40 years ago my FATHER running with my sister in her first race.
The second is a couple days ago my FATHER at age 66 running his 500th race with my sister.
At 24 my dad broke a generational curse of alcoholism & swapped drinking with running, biking & lifting.
He & my mom ran marathons together.
He’s coached & mentored youth for 40 years.
He’s run a dozen full marathons & 50 1/2s.
In high school when he was 48 he would play full court hoops & more than hold his own with me & my friends.
My dad is referred to as THE LEGEND.
Every great quality I have in life was INSTILLED in me by him.
His birthday is tomorrow.
Please give him a birthday comment so I can show him all the love & respect he deserves!
*He tried twitter to support me once & after 2 days said I’m proud of you but I hate this :)
DADS SET THE TONE FOR OUR FAMILIES.

I am 47 months WITHOUT:
•Hulu
•Cable
•Netflix
•HBO GO
•Fox, CNN, MSM propaganda
I’m LOSING at knowing what fictional characters are up to & what the media wants me to outraged & anxious about.
I’m WINNING at:
•Faith
•Fitness
•Marriage
•Fatherhood
•Peace of mind
•Adding passive income
And never going back.
It’s wild to me so many people care more about TV series than they do creating their own best life!
My approach is probably to extreme for 90% but I challenge you this week:
•Swap ONE show for a walk, journaling, reading, playing games with your kids, writing or creating something.
•Go one week with ZERO news.
Money back guarantee you’ll be happy you did!

I was an alcoholic/pill user after.
I was anxious/depressed & didn’t want to wake up for months.
BUT GOD.
Worthy.
Blessed.
Redeemed.
Happily married.
3 beautiful children.
Your best days are ahead of you.
Keep your head up & keep fighting!

So can women then.
You don't need to talk.
People take vows of silence & live to 100.
You can have a meaningful life!!!
Try it!!!
You don’t NEED sex, though. She’s right. You can go an entire 100 years and die a virgin and still have lived a meaningful life.
That doesn’t mean marriages don’t need sex or that humankind doesn’t need sex. It means that you as an individual would be just fine without it.

My dad remained friends with Bill & the next year decided to step down as manager.
He went on to work as a parts guy 5 days a week from 7:30-3:30.
The thing I always recall about my childhood is my dad was always home & always there on weekends playing & coaching!

He volunteered for our small town 26 years in a row & built a gym there that is used by hundreds now.
He still coaches & mentors youth today in that gym.
This is him recently.

You are 100% replaceable at WORK.
You’re NOT replaceable at HOME.
If you died tomorrow your job would replace you in a week or less.
Your family would NEVER get over it.
Home is your real life.
Keep that perspective.
Work hard but be FULLY PRESENT when you’re home.

A doctor told my wife she couldn’t get pregnant.
My wife told me this when we started dating & I was open to adoption as being a father was very important to me.
Wild thing is when we got engaged I started having VIVID dreams of a little girl.
I saw her smiling.
I saw us laughing & playing in our yard.
I started telling my wife.
And then we got pregnant on our honeymoon. ❤️
I knew before the ultrasound it was MY GIRL that I had already seen so many times in my dreams.
Fatherhood means everything to me.
This little angel makes me want to be a better man each day.
Every week I create time to hangout a few hours together just us.
In my nearly 40 years on earth I’ve traveled all over & gotten to do some pretty cool stuff, NOTHING compares to the joy of fatherhood.

Things I love about my 8 year old soccer dad SUV:
•It’s paid off.
•My kids can eat in it.
•It’s paid off.
•After playing in the mud or water who cares, everyone hop in!
•It’s paid off.
•My happiness depends 0% on the car I drive.
•It’s paid off.
Everyday I log into the Chase app & it reminds me I’m pre approved for a $75,000 car loan.
No thanks.
Rather invest $750/month & be wealthy with FREEDOM & TIME.

5 weeks ago my son couldn’t swim & was crying when he had to get in the water.
Now:
•He yells “WA WA, WA WA!” upon seeing the pool.
•Can swim, float on his back & would survive if he fell in.
•Blows kisses to the swim instructor & smiles non stop.
Check out his smile! ❤️

At 29 I sat on the rooftop of my condo overlooking Chicago thinking if I wasn’t such a pansy I would just jump off & end it.
I was recently cheated on & divorced.
I was drinking 6 days a week & popping pills like they were skittles.
I was around drinking buddies often, but ALWAYS FELT ALONE.
I couldn’t get off the couch for days during some periods.
I felt my best days were behind me & couldn’t see a way out.
It was the lowest depression I’ve ever experienced.
And then………

Truthfully, this decision cost our family money.
We grew up on the bottom cusp of lower middle class.
But looking back,
My childhood was the greatest!
I never had the newest anything.
We didn’t dine at fancy places or take extravagant vacations.
MY DAD WAS MY HERO THOUGH!

Far too many guys tell their kids stories of the good old days.
Back in high school I used to….
Before kids & marriage I could….
My man, you should still be growing & getting better daily so your kids can witness you MODELING EXCELLENCE!
I’ll be 40 in a few months with two 2 year olds.

Make sure your kids see you GROWING & pursuing better mentally, physically & spiritually always!

•All we have almost wasn’t.
•My kids could’ve not had a dad.

As we spoke, I asked him how he was in such good shape?
