Truth and love
I’ve been daily documenting (journaling) for over 20 years. I’ve decided to start posting them here everyday, from the previous day. This is how my brain works. My journals could offend you, inspire you, or just make you laugh. Let's find out.

273 days. Today counts.

Slept until 9a this morning. Grateful to have my Queen sipping coffee while sitting on my bean bag in my office, while I get right to work on some creativity that came through me while I was sleeping.

I’m in a P.U.S.H. Phase right now. The acronym P.U.S.H. stands for Priority Utilizing Strategic Hustle… and has zero to do with the “bro hustle culture.” It’s all about strategically using my energy in a fully-focused way to bring a project to a point that it’s ready to ship to the world.

I’m creating the Identity Shifting System. How to become the greatest version of the man you vision yourself to be. I taught a version of this in the last round of The MENtal Shift coaching program. Now I’m creating a cohesive and predictable system out of it because it’s powerful.

Looks like it’s supposed to rain today. I have a 5 mile run on deck to complete my 15 miles for the week. Ain’t no stoppin’ this.

Got to Facetime with Kiara, Krome and Ivan last night. Krome turned 6 months today. The boy loves to smile and enjoy life. Time to get him out hiking with me. Gonna search for a pack that I can where to carry him on my back. A little bit of resistance and a whole lot of love while we hike together.

I’m feeling a deeper love for my family every day.

Proper Pressure. I’m applying it to myself without being forceful and anxious. There’s wisdom in this approach.

Visualize the outcome. Settle in and take action on the process. Fall in LOVE with the process, even when you don’t like it. The love for it will pull you through.

Just wrote a mini-essay on identity. I have plenty more to say about it. It will build.

Dealt with some obstacles today at a get together. Got the people I loved out of there safely and came back to my peaceful home… where I have peace designed the way I like it. Humans amaze me. When I look back to my younger years, I’m blessed that I made it through and now I’m able to be a source of stability, reason, and protection when needed.

I’m the only one home right now. Embracing this gift of sacred silence and looking forward to connecting with my Queen when she gets here.

Love is truth. Truth is love. Truth and love conquer all.

Truth can feel harsh at times. It’s still truth. And it’s still love.
