10 Values Concepts

This is a concept that my boss had presented to a group of us during training. I found it very insightful and I thought that I would share it with you all.

What the exercise asks for is for you to think of 10 values that you hold dear and would pass onto your children. For example, my ten values go as follows (no specific order):

Character/Integrity- morally strong, great human being

  • Faith- strong belief system to guide
  • Family/Relationships- cherrish and put energies into those closest to you, LOVE
  • Determination/Drive- always strive to be great, work hard to get there
  • Willpower- let no obstacle get in the way of your aspirations
  • Open-mindedness- be open to new opportunities, diversity, broad scope/views, TRAVELING to find answers. 
  • Innovative Spirit- be creative, think outside the box, versatile 
  • Positivity- radiate positive energy, be an optimist, too much time is wasted being cynical 
  • Intelligence- life-long learning to become a versatile human being, knowledge is power
  • Charisma- people like people's people, relate and thrive in connectivitiy


These are some of the values that I hold in a high regard off the top of my head. These are values that I would want to pass down to my kiddos.

The Crossfit Movement

Image
Well, it has happened. I have officially joined the crossfit cult. My entrance into the movement has been a unique and exciting experience. Before I entertain you with the epic tale that is my crossfit experience, I need to give you some background. I was a college football player and I loved to compete. Working out and training has been a large part of my life and after college I was finding that workouts were not the same. I did not find the same satisfaction, motivation, results, or enjoyment in carrying out my SOLO-flex workouts. A large amount of my drive comes from competing with those around me and the community feel- of training as a team. I had lifting partners, I tried a couple of group workout classes, I dabbled in boxing, and they all were enjoyable... but not lasting. My girlfriend (who was a friend at the time.. long and fun story...she is amazing) showed me her crossfit gym and I loved it! Sadly, work travels and a 3-month road trip took me away from crossfit, BUT upon m...

The Tides of Change

Every year, around the holiday season, everyone plans and sets goals for themselves to be a better version of themselves. To spend the next year growing and honing in on different goals/achievements. Often times trying to create new habits or living styles. Ultimately a great deal of these resolutions fail, because the discipline is not there, or maybe someone shot too far out. Making an unrealistic goal for themselves. If you never have exercised in your life do not say that your goal is to workout 7 days a week. That is unrealistic. Rather, I say take these changes one step at a time. Make them measurable. Give yourself check in points. 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, etc. Everyone wants to grow and evolve. However, everyone likes to keep things familiar or make excuses why they can't achieve their goals as an attempt to rationalize. With all of this in mind I have really been thinking on what this last year presented me with and who I want to become in 2018...

Deep Thought

I can feel the tides of change coming to me. There are opportunities that are presenting themselves to me. Within this year alone I have flown on a plane and traveled more (in terms of trips/year) than any other time in my life. I have lived out of state for a summer, traveled to Chicago a handful of times, lived in Texas for 6 weeks, spent 9 days in Amsterdam (visiting Europe for the first time), traveled to Kansas City for 2 weeks, and I am currently gearing up to travel for an ENTIRE summer! There is also some potential for me to live in Washington for 3 weeks (while working), as well as, a chance at farming in Thailand for 2 weeks. There are so many opportunities in life and I want to take hold and grasp as many as I can while I am given this chance. With all of that being said, there is also a great strain in terms of finances for these trips.... while also paying a massive amount of bills at home. So in the back of my mind as I travel I find myself coming back to these worr...
