Introduction

Kegels weren’t gonna do it. I knew it while doing recon the day before. Lower half, though? Absolutely. I couldn’t fathom going another day without something that would enable the fellow PAX to improve their salsa dancing skillz. I mean, we have the stage at Iron Lion, right? Once my decision was made, it was all downhill or should I say uphill from there.

Circle of Trust

COR, NOR

Every day, my children and I pray for the following luxuries we have: food, clothing, shelter, life, liberty, jobs and opportunity. Heck, I am typing this out on a computer with multiple monitors while looking out at power wheels, bikes, etc. We get opportunities to come out and eat the frog with each other, every day, and it is no doubt an opportunity that many people can’t take advantage of or don’t have access to.

To eat the frog is to do the hardest thing first, so everything else you do that day is easy. Those 100 calls you need to make, the deal you need to land or the difficult conversation you need to have with your supervisor/direct reports are no match for the opportunity you took advantage of prior to 6am. Believe it or not: They. Are. No. Match.

You’ve chosen to take the opportunity to eat the frog and put yourself in a position to enjoy the very basic  luxuries of life. You get up, you crush and you maintain a relentless mentality for the rest of the day. As a result, you live a great, fulfilling life. It could be worse. I know, it sometimes feels that way. I feel it, too. We all do. But if you’re reading this you probably now realize you have a lot. And as long as you seize the opportunity again tomorrow, you’ll live a life full of opportunity because you can handle adversity. SYITG.

I am thankful for those that showed up. Even those that have extreme flatulence so much so Goldberg kept it down.
