Life has good moments and lessons, lets enjoy those good moments.

But also remember to embrace the challenges and tough times as the lessons that shape us and make us better.

In the moment its hard but seek comfort in the knowledge that this too will pass and you will come out stronger, better and/or wiser.

Always a pleasure to be at Lions Den. It was a cozy group and the PAX opened up about current struggles and also great news.

Every morning we wake up and make the effort to get up and come out to work out with our bothers in the gloom.

There is always the temptation to snooze that alarm and enjoy sleeping in.

Getting dressed, driving to the AO thats the easy part. The hard part is that second when the alarm sounds and you make the choice to get up or sleep in.

And most of life’s choices are like that, the hardest part is making the right choice in that fraction of a second that dictates the rest of the part.

Lets keep that in mind and be conscious of that split second that can define the day, month, year, or life.

Great job men, that last bit made us all gasp for air. Right?

Sometimes life feels like that, sometimes things come all at once and make us feel overwhelmed and gasping for air. 

I found this bit of information pretty impactful when I heard it…

Im sure a lot of you are familiar with the Biblical name for God as Yahweh.

It is an interesting fact that it is the noise any being makes when taking a deep breath…

Try it…

Now I hope you all will have this knowledge in the back of your minds as we take each breath. 

The most important thing when gasping for air is to open up our lungs and take deep breaths.

Lets all find some comfort in this knowledge and when feeling overwhelmed, lets take a pause and a deep breath, remember that it will be alright, and charge on.

It being a Friday, rainy and cold. I was surprised at the turnout and appreciated the PAX that turned out. Happy to have found this community of men looking to better and push each other.
