The distance between your dreams and your reality is discipline. You have to do the thing, especially when you don’t feel like it. 80% of success is showing up. The rest is willingness to work and learn. Put in the work and reap the rewards.

Concluded with MARY.
TBH All I knew I wanted to do was 10 sets of burpees and bear crawls. Each bear crawl was 40 yds and burpees started at 10 and went to 1. In between sets run toward Shutterfly and find the next opportunity to find 40 yds of unoccupied pavement.
I have a heavy heart now and it wasn’t any better at the time. The fact that flags were there flying at half mast in front of Shutterfly was a good reminder of who we are and what needs to happen next from an immediate and existential standpoint, so we recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
I’m currently reading Plato’s writing on Socrates and the present parallels are not lost on me. A man was executed for “impiety” and “corrupting the youth”. He asked questions. He didn’t properly attend to the gods. He challenged authority.
The bottom line is that we need both political parties. Without challenge, a uniparty would become weak and invalid. I would say we need more, but I digress. We should all be praying for the prosperity of both political parties to the betterment of the individuals they serve.
God forgive us, for we know not what we do.
