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”

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”

The anvil, the stationary immovable object on which the piece of metal rests as it’s struck by the hammer. The hammer, the tool swung to shape and sharpen theContinue reading “The Blacksmith Perspective”
Let it Go
It’s hard not to think of Elsa and Ana when you read the title words… whether you saw the movie or not you probably sang the title or heard the tune. But what’s so interesting is the phrase is so easy to say, but the meaning behind it is so much bigger and so muchContinue reading “Let it Go”
Checkmate
Chess, one of the most widely played board games in history is a game designed of opening moves, set up moves, countermoves and forcing moves where each player attempts to string together a series of plays to beat their opponent. Now chess has never been a game I particularly got into, but I did watchContinue reading “Checkmate”
