Recharge

Motivation as explained in the dictionary is; the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. But if I’ve learned anything so far as I’ve navigated my life over the last few years from college, to jobs, to moving to a new city… motivation can come and go. As muchContinue reading “Recharge”

Plant the Seed

Every trip has a starting point. Every mission has a starting base. Anything we plan for or strive to accomplish has to start somewhere. We’ve talked a lot about setting a goal. Chasing the 500lb lion and reaching our goal. We’ve talked about planning and the process we need to undergo, but sometimes we canContinue reading “Plant the Seed”

Head Down, Eyes Up

One of my favorite country music artists is Chase Rice. He has a unique story of how he found himself in music. From being a star linebacker at University North Carolina, to a career-ending injury halting his path as an NFL player and his father sadly passing away while he was in college, he hadContinue reading “Head Down, Eyes Up”

Patience is a Virtue

Patience is a virtue. Patience: “the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset.” Patience is a skill and action easier said than done, for sure. We’ve all had it preached to us as kids to be patient, whether it was a toy we wanted from a sibling andContinue reading “Patience is a Virtue”

Back on Track

4th of July weekend is a weekend looked forward to by many. If your weekend goes anything like mine it usually consists of a full weekend on the lake. Good food, drinks, a lot of sun, late-night boat rides, and early morning fishing trips. A long weekend is much needed but also can be aContinue reading “Back on Track”

Trust the Process

Trusting the process is something you hear a lot in sports, business, and aspects of training and development. Shoot the Philadelphia 76ers practically coined the phrase a few years ago. But what does that mean? To truly trust the process. As I began to think about this, a few things came to mind from startingContinue reading “Trust the Process”

Train to Grow

This week I’ve had the idea of training and practicing circle in front of me from a variety of directions. From my girlfriend taking tennis lessons to watching these NFL rookies take part in team camps on ESPN, to the new account manager for our company I’ve had the privilege to train. These different glimpsesContinue reading “Train to Grow”

Becoming Us

Relationships are tough. In the world of Bumble and Tinder dates, sliding into DMs and party scenes, meeting people has become more external and physical than internal and deep connection. So, I started to think, how does this look for finding the right person. First off, I am by no means an expert at relationships,Continue reading “Becoming Us”

The Pace Car

This week is something special in the sport of racing. The running of the Indianapolis 500. I’ve been going to the race for over 15 years, it’s a spectacle for sure. From the almost half a million fans to the entertainment and celebrity sightings, to the buttermilk shower in victory lane. But in the race,Continue reading “The Pace Car”

Chase the Lion

The lion. Known as the king of the jungle. The alpha predator, top of the food chain. A 500lb beast. All these are things Benaiah probably thought about when he chased one down. To him that was his ultimate goal. Track down, chase, and slay the 500lb beast of a lion. As referred to inContinue reading “Chase the Lion”
