My gym bro retired today. For 18 years we’ve hit the gym during lunch. Had our last lift in the office gym today.💪

Many think big moments change a life. Usually it’s the small choices repeated over and over.

The day you stop needing approval is the day you get a lot freer.

Quick visit to Seaside to visit family. Enjoying some downtime. Cheers!

Big changes rarely happen in one dramatic moment. They’re built one day at a time. Protect the streak. Don’t break the chain.

Comparison is a fast way to miss the good already sitting in your own life.

Peace comes faster when you stop tying your worth to outcomes you can’t control. So do the right thing, give your full effort, and let the rest go.

Every repeated action is a vote for the person you’re becoming… Bad habits don’t appear overnight. Neither do strong ones.

Anyone can be kind when things are easy. The real test is staying steady when someone gives you every reason not to.

Peace of mind is hard to fake.
You can outrun consequences for a while. It’s a lot harder to outrun your own conscience.

Quotes are easy. Admiration is easy. The harder question is whether your actions look anything like the principles you claim to respect.

@TheMassessment Awesome! That’s consistency! I went into this year with the goal of doing stoic quotes and my interpretation everyday. So far so good, but I’ve almost missed a few days.

[Jay Redmond @ColonelRedmond]

You don’t get to save today for later. Use the hours you’ve got. One day, “I’ll get to it” runs out.

Good and evil show up in our choices. Control what you can, and own the decision in front of you.

[Jay Redmond @ColonelRedmond]

@BlueMooReviews TGIF!🫡👊

Friday gym rule… leave the week on the floor so you don’t drag it into the weekend.

Want a good day? Do good things.
