Day 8 : Progress over perfection, always

Every word makes me better than yesterday

Have You ever been anxious to workout ? That’s me this Friday morning beating my alarm by two minutes I manually go to turn it off , I’m up and in good spirits, my body is ready to go , I stretch and start my warm-up you know the drill , today is my full body day so I start with 12 goblet squats, inverted rows AMRAP , Pushups AMRAP, 12 Deadlifts and 12 lying leg raises Round 1 I’m sweating good already , rounds 2,3 and 4 I crush , look over my logs and check my completion for the week .


Hot water from the shower feels invigorating and refreshing, I prime for the day with a few short sentences “ Today will be a good day” and “ I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today” I smile and breath deep , wrap up and I’m out , breakfast this morning a bowel of maple pecan granola, pumpkin seeds, half. Of a diced banana, cinnamon and ice cold soy milk , I could eat this for breakfast every day I swear. I say grace and bury my face in my bowel , I sit in quietness and ponder on all that I have and continue to give thanks for what I have because I’m always grateful and always thankful, after scrapping the bowel I do some additional light stretching and continue with my routine.


Lunched packed check , water check , jacket , keys , wallet and phone check almost forgot my headphones and I’m out the door , 3 minutes till my bus arrive I load up Mr. Hill and get to absorbing his words , tho my days are very similar I’ve come to realize that some parts of life are just like that and to some that might seem boring, I love it on the other hand , when things do spring up I’m never I’ll prepared, I have learned to roll with the punches become flexible and to ride it out it’s only temporary. With discipline has come patience I don’t Mind a lot of things , I don’t Take anything personal because I’ve grown to know we as people some times have off days and it’s not me but something might be going on in that persons world and they unconsciously might say or act a way and that’s okay , understanding that has helped me tons and I think most of us could show a little more compassion for our sisters and brothers.


I’m proud of myself , I needed headphones wired and instead of procrastinating I went by Apple picked up a pair $19.00 received Apple TV free for 3 months and met one of the nicer salesman you could ask for

As a treat I took myself to McDonald every now and then I think it’s okay. I got home ate , decompressed a little got out of my work attire and put on cargo pants and walking shoes , 6:30pm I’m out the door for my walk and decide to record my next episode for my YouTube channel @TipTalks the night is starting to set in as I sit in the park adjacent from the Ferry Building, I have a really good brain dumping session and some really good material to build my Audio video around, after that I walk around downtown snapping photos and encountering new bars and restaurants.


I’ve had A full day and now I’m at home writing this piece on my iPhone 17 drinking a IPA listening to brain fm (I’m not sponsored by them but love their product) scrolling up I can hardly believe I have written so much when 8 days ago I was telling myself You are a writer You can write , just do it and everyday I just do it.


I’m learning to structure my writing better so it’s easier to read and flow, with time it will improve I’m still learning and I will improve. Thank You for reading my work and being patient with me as I improve.
