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.

275 days. Be right here, right now.

Amazing night, 11 hours of sleep.

I’m grateful for it. And also feel grateful that today is the day of my monthly Mountain Valley water delivery.

Just walked outside to put my empty 5 gallon jugs on the front porch to be replaced and see the street in full of water.

That water is coming from the drain in our front yard. Busted irrigation pipe that’s been repaired before. Calls are in and it will be repaired again.

Not gonna steal my shine.

All external challenges are opportunities for internal growth. I receive that.

Water was just delivered. Six 5 gallon bottles to the front porch.

The procrastination demon showed up and was encouraging me to think, “I’ll bring those water jugs in later.”

My personal power kicked in and I got it done right now. Now “later on” is free from that thing my procrastination demon attempted to push on me. Fuck off.

Aligned action alleviates anxiety.

“Procrastination is the arrogance to believe that God is going to give you another day to do what needs to be done now.”

Money mindset:

“Money is a spiritual tool to stop being dependent on others so you can give to the world with full authenticity.”

“Money is a great source of joy and creativity.”

Commitment mindset:

Do what you said you would do long after the excitement of when you said it fades away.

We are all pure vessels of value designed to operate from a place of deep self-love. Deep self-love is the magical mechanism of mastery.

Even so, there will always be people around you who aren’t happy unless they’re filtering something in their life through a lens of negativity and misery.

You can feel it in the way they speak EVERY DAY. it’s starts from the moment you dare to ask them, “How are you today?”

I’m a challenge, obstacle, resistance overcoming machine.

Grateful for my ability get my run in and to win against the procrastination and excuse demons that tried to attach themselves to me like leeches today.

5 miles for you suckas. See ya tomorrow because I know you demons be lurkin’ and lookin’ for opportunities.

Traits I’m aware of at this moment:

  • Perseverance
  • Courage
  • Thoughtfulness
  • Appreciation

The next 8 months of my life require the greatest of me and will transform my future. It starts right now. It will remain, RIGHT NOW. BE THAT MAN.

Scorecard for the week is filling out nicely.

Ready to build an official dashboard for the scorecard:

  • recurring checklist inside each Power Pillar
  • Counter that shows percentage of completion for day, week, month, quarter, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months

How does one operate with NO FORCE and achieve more than he ever has in his life? The formula.

Damn, I’m excited for my 3a alarm. Creation is coming through me.
