We can embrace the struggles which move us towards what we want, or we can embrace the story of why we cannot possibly attain it. We can have excuses or results, but we cannot have both. #halhughes#UPYOURS#struggles#mystory
I spent some time with an elite runner this morning. He shared his strategies and mindsets around running an ultramarathon. It was a reminder that we tend to raise our game and our belief in ourselves when we get around amazing people. Thanks Cory!

As a parent/leader/coach/mentor we need to be aware of the fact that those following us will copy 100% of what we do wrong and 10% of what we do right. Become someone worth following!
Shout out to two men who are role models in my own life @RunjpRun and @PhilipFolsom

My Ju-Jitsu coach told me years ago that life was both the soft caress on the cheek, and the hard slap, and that we should not recoil from either.
When I come to the end of my life I hope to be scarred, marred, and running on empty. Slaps and caresses a-plenty!! #halhughes

I am much more concerned about happiness then I am greatness. I know a lot of accomplished people who are miserable.
A good starting point to develop the habit of being happy is this; love more and judge less. #halhughes#upyours#morelovelessjudgement#happiness#loveyoudad

I am weary of anyone claiming to be selfless. Helping others without regard for oneself is unsustainable. Self interest as reflected in serving others, yet maintaining self-care and healthy boundaries, is the ideal middle ground between selflessness and selfishness. #HalHughes
Beside me throughout everything, no matter what. This picture of my wife captures what she represents to me; strength, beauty, grace, defiance and fun!
I would not have survived the circumstances of my life if she had not been there to help me up each time I fell. #halhughes
The “how to” for things is usually readily available. But without a big “why”, we quickly focus on all the obstacles in our way. Life is tough and we have no chance of getting out of it unscathed or alive! Might as well aim high while we are here. #halhughes#upyours

It wasn’t a mystery why I was miserable 3 years ago. I was putting in the work required to be miserable. Inactivity, poor diet, abusing substances, hours of CNN, and isolating myself. It’s the habits that kept me sick. New habits = new life. What are your habits creating?
