Dig today’s message

What you have is made special by what you don’t have. For an experience to be memorable it must be surrounded by moments that are ordinary.

If you were to feast every day there would be no such thing as a feast. The deprivation, the restraint, the empty space, give meaning to the substance, to the abundance.

When you have everything you have nothing. If you cram stuff into every available cubic inch you’ve rendered it all inaccessible.

Allow for plenty of empty spaces between possessions, between experiences, between encounters and relationships. Those empty spaces are where you make meaningful use of all you have.

Live at a scale that enables your interest, your gratitude, your appreciation, and your effectiveness. Keep in mind that too much can be just as undesirable as too little.

Give yourself plenty to care about, but not so much that caring is impossible. Be selective, seek balance, and live well

Also what’s everyone’s opinion of Sam Sulek saying he wants to compete in a year in Classic Division?

 

[bigbumpkin2003]

Do what you intend to do, then go one better. Achieve the goal you’ve set for yourself, then add to it.

Once you are speeding along with the momentum of achievement, don’t let that momentum go to waste. Make more good use of it.

If you’ve already contacted a dozen people, it’s not much more effort to contact one or two more. When you’ve written a thousand words, continue on that established trajectory and write a hundred more.

Usually, the most difficult parts of any task are getting started and getting into the flow. Once you’re there, it makes a lot of sense to keep on going a little longer.

After all, you’ve given yourself the chance to get ahead of the game. Going a little further once you’re ahead is much better than working to catch up after you’ve fallen behind.

When you’ve done what had to be done, don’t stop just yet. Make the most of the opportunity you’ve earned for yourself.

Hold yourself to a high standard. To raise the quality of your reality, raise your expectations.

Refuse to listen to your own excuses. Demand integrity, commitment and persistence from yourself in all your undertakings.

Keep yourself lovingly and gratefully focused on whatever is truly important to you. Let go of any urge to be cynical, and allow your most meaningful dreams to flourish within your awareness.

Get in the habit of finding and expanding what’s best, in yourself, in others, and in each situation. Learn to see the value in moments large and small, and act to make positive use of that value.

Resist the temptation to shortchange yourself or others, or to settle for anything less than your very best. This is your unique and precious life, so give it all the respect and effort it is due.

Fill each day with richness and excellence, competence and solid, honest commitment. Keep your standards high, and seek to live such that you’ll never have any regrets

Outta town for a bit enjoy the holidays!

 

[bigbumpkin2003]

Got home yesterday and made the gym


Engage in activity today that will make you thankful tomorrow. Fill this week with what you’ll continue to be thankful for when next month arrives.

Look ahead, anticipate what will bring richness to the world, and work on that. Look ahead, realize what you’re going to surely regret, and stay away from it.

You know with certainty that the future is coming. Do your best to accommodate it.

Each hour of today will be spent doing one thing or another. As you choose how to spend those hours, take into consideration the enduring effects of your choices.

Creating a more positive future is actually no more difficult than the less desirable choice of ignoring the future. You just have to be intentional about it, and then act on your intentions.

Look ahead, remind yourself of your responsibility to your future. Then cheerfully shoulder that responsibility and enjoy creating the kind of future where you will be eager to live.


Felt really strong! So decided to PR on flat and incline bench …. Worked up to and pressed 340 on flat and
265 on incline. Finished off with some cable flys

When you slip up, when you disappoint yourself, make note of it and vow to do better. But don’t be too hard on yourself.

There are benefits that come from being firm about exercising control over your behavior going forward. But there’s nothing to be gained by wallowing in guilt about what’s already been done or not done.

Give yourself a break. Get over it, and take the opportunity to move into a positive frame of mind.

What’s done is done, and you’ve learned from it. So put the lesson to good use.

Look forward and consider all the good you can do. Step forward and take sober, measured, effective actions.

Transform the weight of regret into the energy of determination. Point that energy in a positive, meaningful direction, and get busy doing something great

Don’t know if you guys have seen in news the big snow and shit. I am on the very edge 5 inches and like 20-30 below with wind chill. Fucking sucks the life outta me working all day in that. Ugh!! Did get in only twice for legs and delts . Definitely need to push for more regular and consistent. Gonna up the test beyond TRT doses and try to really push it. So let’s see what I can do.

 

[bigbumpkin2003]

Seek competence. Create it, make use of it, admire it, learn from it, expand on it.

All kinds of possibilities swirl around in chaos and uncertainty. With competence you can transform those possibilities into concrete value.

Do what you do not just to get it done. Do it also as a way of exercising and strengthening your competence.

For competence pays continuing dividends. Once you’ve acquired a particular competence, you can put it to beneficial use again and again.

When you develop competence in one area, you’ll be inspired, encouraged, and in position to expand it to other areas. With a reputation for competence, opportunities to utilize it frequently come your way.

Competence is worth the extra effort, the diligence, the commitment. Demand competence of yourself, encourage and value competence in others, and find satisfaction in its many rewards
