Hello! Welcome to my daily report card. Every day is continuous test with no subject. What's your answer? What was it mean? Wow, season finale, 43, 53, ooh. So many hurdles and roadblocks throughout our journey and it's just another day and still. And we have to know to invite our struggle and welcome silence. And with that, let's start! Ooh, today is November 14th at 6.15 a.m. 2,024 Pacific Standard Time. Man, I missed y'all.

I swear, I'm really trying to come up with more episodes, y'all, but I'll be falling asleep and it happens. That's just life. We have our good intentions, yet and still, the results are the results and your intentions really don't matter. So, what song today? Oh man, Kiss Me Through the Phone, Poseidon by Lil Bean and Gotta Be There by Michael Jackson, gosh. Just vibing out to short playlists this season, 11 songs, 29 minutes, so hope you enjoy it.

What I read today, start with Why by Simon Sinek. Some books find you and also refind you and start with Why is that just being in different programs and having random monthly assignments and actually getting sent this physical book that I've already read and helping me redefine and understand and to vocalize in real time what my Why is for my organization and leading with that, describing with that, being that and still working the words out. Was I physically active today? To this day.

What, Friday? Oh my gosh, I haven't worked out all week. Um, terrible. However, sometimes we're training and our training has to be the result of where we wanna go and the test that's coming up. And for me, it's always making sure I'm physically capable and able to keep up with my boys, my family. And I think I was able to do that. Still gotta get into gym though.

What I get from my meditations, share your struggle, keep your wins to yourself, silence your ego and shut your mouth before you make your move. So many times right before we get to right where we want, but we have a play that we're about to move and something inside is our ego wants to let it be known, wants to reveal our master plan. And when I say keep working, instead of talking.

When I succeed at today, being able to master my schedule, making the appropriate time and satisfy all of the responsibilities and requirements that I put on myself. And truly being there and being present and we put these things on ourselves. And it's only right that the people that we involve in our life and have effect on that we show up. What made me smile?

Oh man, my boy had a tough day the other day and we had to talk about it and reassessed the standard that we keep for our family, especially as a man, boy that is. And he came back and got an award for his behavior. And I was proud, really made me smile because even at his age, young boy just went back to the lab and understood what I said to him and tried hard and it's up to me to still be there, to be able to guide him through that world at roadblocks such as he had the other day.

And to me, I just did good today. It means nothing if I'm not there next year, five years, 10 years, 20 years for him then. God willing. What I think of my day overall? Struggle, commitment, scheduling, pride, good pride, happiness, understanding. And what grade do I give myself?

I'm going with a B because all that stuff is good if you're there for your family, if you're there for your mind, if you're there for your spiritual self, but if you're not being there for your physical body, it's going to show. And I wasn't there for my physical body. And I will, hopefully tonight. Nevertheless, this life is a work in progress and we always have to try our best because the present is a present. And I really believe that.

And I hope that you use your present of the presence and hold it in high regard because you're the youngest you'll ever be and this might be your last moment or just another moment we don't know. All you know is you're here right now. And I really appreciate the time that you've given me and season finale. With that, once again. Thank you for joining us.
