Hello, welcome my dear little pork heart. Every day's continuous test with no subject. What's your answer? What's the meaning? We're on a winning streak. When we're in the zone, when we're locked in, everything around us seems to fade away. And we're taking that extra step. When we're getting that much closer, when we start to believe it, it's also at that same moment in which we doubt ourselves. We take that quick break and that doubt slips right up 100. I say, don't look down.

Keep going for what's yours, people. Because there's no guarantee that you'll get another opportunity like you are right now in this current moment. Nothing is promised. And with that, let's start. Today was July 22nd, 2024, Monday at 2.54 PM Pacific Standard Time. Got two song goods of the day on our 50th playlist. Kailani by Jordan A. Deanjew. By Big Sean. I'm glad he came back. Kailani is a vibe, for sure. What did I read? Always Every Day is Daily Meditations by Robert Green.

However, also The Silent Patient. I got back on that. Looking a little bit, little bit more interesting. We're uncovering some layers. And The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Nadid. It was really interesting and I'm glad that I'm at the final part of the book of where he's given suggestions on how do we counteract this anxious generation. And when he talks to different people about what we can do to mitigate the technology problem in the youth.

A lot of people say that ship is sailed or that train is left and he says, why can't it come back? And I believe that. And I love that energy. And I'm really interested to see what this with this part can entail about how we as a community, as a person and just how everyone involved can do a little better. When I get from meditations, I also read this earlier today to be quick to forgive and slow to anger.

And in this stage, and especially when you're trying to get forward, you can't hold that mental weight of what someone did to you or what you conceived. And I'm with that. I can't hold on to it. What does it see that today? Just really being present, present and engaged and not settling for the minimum. One in not going for the, at least I did this mentality, said and continuing that standard.

Because when you get to, when your standard is set, it's about continuing and maintaining that and raising that. And being able to have my boys and making sure that they're physically active for one hour. And that's why I missed it. Was physically active with them. And just making those workouts that I do at the gym worth it. And towards the real cause, which is truly looking out for the next generation, being better for them to be better. What made me smile today?

Just those little moments totally California having sitting down at the table, eating in and out with the full family and phones are off the table, the TVs off and it's just us. Nothing too glamorous. What do you think of my day bro? It's very interesting when you rethink what's possible because when I complete something as I've been doing, am I beginning? I'm like, how can I do this? Why am I doing this?

This is such a huge task to take on for not really a reason of which I have to do going by that. At least I did mentality and as I shake that off, it makes me think more. I don't even know. So redefine him. I'll say. What grade do I get myself? I'm going to go with a B plus because I believe I could have read more. I believe I could have did more at home workouts. I believe I could have did more in front of the children.

I believe I could have done a lot of things, little things that could have taken me over the edge to that day. Nevertheless it was a valiant effort, an effort that I'm proud of. And as long as you can be proud of the person in the mirror, then that's where you can start. Getting still. Don't look down. Keep pushing that. Pushing that standard. Pushing yourself. And keep on being that best version of yourself. And that was again.
