There are times…

“There are times when you have to shed your past. Your past view of yourself and your past friends. You’ll replace both with better.”

Robert Kiyosaki

Three NCOs... one chaplain... one deck of cards (54 cards). . Two NCOs (who have done this before did 7 pull-ups, 12 sit-ups, and push-ups per card +2). Myself and the other NCO did 5 pull-ups, 10 sit-ups and push-ups per card. . When the round was done a new card was flipped. 2 hours later... TOTAL WORK: - push-ups- 500 us/630 them - pull-ups - 270 us/378 them - sit-ups 540 us/648 them . I LOVE this life!!! And now it’s time for some food! #strongheartstrongback #army #covidstrong

When was the last time you asked someone smarter than you out for lunch/coffee? . Were you prepared to ask questions? . Did you take notes? . Tip: when you’re with someone smarter than you... Do LESS TALKING and MORE LISTENING! Ask QUESTIONS. TAKE NOTES. Then show your appreciation by BUYING lunch (if they accept) and finally, honor their time by DOING WHAT THEY SAY! You paid for their counsel... take it! Do it! . What’s been your most recent takeaway from a learning lunch?

Oh. My. Gosh. . This girl. She is amazing! . She’s singing harmony (the high part) with @madisonbeer. . I love you Ray! Keep training!!!!! #prouddad

Peace. . This place... these people... this music... my soul is at peace. . Where do you find peace? With whom do you find peace?

A Chaplain and an Infantry dude getting after it! . We did the workout I had planned (squats and overhead presses followed by four rounds of push-ups, sit-ups, and calf raises). . Then I said, “Let’s get the tire out and you put the workout together.” . 4 rounds of beating the tar out of the tire followed by 107 tire flips! (It was supposed to be 101... but we got carried away!). . I LOVE this tribe!!! #101stairborne #army #chaplain #strongheartstrongback . BTW, I have already critiqued my form on the hammer swing. I realize I look like a T-Rex swinging that hammer! #tinyarms I’ll address it! 😏

What would the BEST Paul do? . That’s what I asked myself when I was MAD because I took the wrong turn, TIRED from running, and DISAPPOINTED because I saw my time was slower than I hoped. . I wanted to quit. . I wanted to walk. . But the BEST Paul would not do that... so I didn’t either. I ran back to the right path and kept going. . The older I get the less I compare myself with other people and the more I compare myself with the BEST Paul. . What would the BEST Paul do? Would he quit? Would he whine and shuffle? Would he cuss (I actually did do that #notmybestmomemt)? . When you’ve taken a wrong turn... messed up... dropped the ball... sinned.... When you’re tired, angry, disappointed and just want to cuss and quit, ask yourself this - “WHAT WOULD THE BEST ME DO?” Then do that!!!! #strongheartstrongback #army #lessonsfromtherun
