I live by one rule: I will be happy with the results I get from the EFFORT I put in. That mindset ensures that no matter the goal, I give it everything Iāve got. Last Saturday was no exception. It was an absolute grind 6 weeks post surgery, but Iām proud of the work left out there.
Huge thanks to the talented @xwesx for capturing hese shots, and to the āhead enablerā himself, @abratton40 of @humanpoweredmovement , for putting together such an epic event.
Iām still processing the miles, but Iāll be sharing more about what went down during this run in the coming weeks. Stay tuned. ā”ļø
Have yall seen the weather for this coming weekend?!āļøš
Check out @aaronbeaver on the road to recovery! HAPPY MONDAY KTOWN!šāØš

Rain? Cold? Doesnāt matter. The mission stays the same. š¤
@libertymenslax took care of business 18ā9. If you arenāt playing like this in the trenches, you arenāt playing.
Whoās stopping this momentum? (Hint: Nobody.)
Itās more than just a match; itās the culmination of early mornings and late evening practices, cut weights, and relentless grit. All for these six minutes.
Congratulations to the @albrownwrestling that made it to states.
You donāt just need rest. You need fuel. ā½
I audited my calendar to find my āGreen Zonesāāthe moments where I felt most alive.
I realized I wasnāt burned out because I was working too hard. I was burned out because I wasnāt spending enough time in my zone of genius.
ā¢ Red Zone: Stress, friction, draining.
ā¢ Green Zone: Creation, mentoring, flow.
If you are tired, sleep helps. But if you are depleted, you need to do the things that actually charge your battery.

Confusion always precedes clarity. š”
I spent months trying to learn a new skill (After Effects). It felt like hitting a wall every single day.
But I kept showing up.
And then, one day, it just Clicked.
We often quit during the confusion phase because we think it means we are failing. But confusion isnāt failureāitās the growing pain of your brain building a new map.
Donāt quit five minutes before the miracle happens.

The scar that built a 10-year success. šļø
I have a failure in my past that haunts me. I burned a bridge.
But that failure left a scar, and that scar taught me how to handle the next opportunity.
When my friend Marvin offered me a small gig, I didnāt treat it like a ājob.ā I treated it like a second chance. I poured everything I had into it.
That āsmall gigā turned into a 10-year partnership that has provided for my family.
That wasnāt luck. It was the result of looking at the mirror, seeing the scar, and deciding to double down on doing the right thing.

We arenāt all playing with a full deck. š
In poker, you assume everyone has the same cardsāAce to King. But in life, that isnāt true.
Some of us werenāt dealt a full hand.
Maybe no one taught you how to resolve conflict.
Maybe you never learned healthy boundaries.
Maybe you lack the resources others seem to have naturally.
I spent years trying to bluff my way through, pretending I had cards I didnāt. Or worse, Iād just fold and wait for life to get easier.
But the Mirror taught me a hard lesson: The dealer isnāt coming back.
You canāt trade your cards in. You can only play them. And youād be surprised how much you can win with a partial hand if you stop complaining about the shuffle and start playing.

Are you on the highway or in the jungle? šæ
Breaking a bad habit feels impossible because you are fighting your own biology.
Your old habits are an 8-lane superhighway. Your new habits are a machete and a wall of vines.
Perseverance is simply the willingness to keep hacking. Itās refusing to take the easy road when the stress hits.
Itās not weakness. Itās road construction.
