Happy Fathers Day!.I wanted to share some of my struggles and perspectives on life to help out someone who is struggling with their childhood..Just because you may have had a terrible childhood, does not mean that your adult life has to reflect that..Also, just because someone was not acting great as a parent back then, does not mean they can&apos;t change and become better people later on..Understanding and awareness is key for growing emotional intelligence.

Fathers Day 2021

Have you ever been to a point where you felt that your climb to the top of anything in life actually turned out diffrently?.We fight and scratch our way up and take a breather, then realize we are just on a rock..I talk about those emotions when we realize that we are not where we thought we were supposed to be..I also talk on how comfortable we tend to get when we get to the top, as well as how seasons changing makes a mountain feel like a rock.

The rock or the mountain?

Starve it Out.I share a dream that I recently had and talk about how it relates to a few things that I have been working on to help grow my mindset.

Starve It Out

From a leadership perspective, the "crawl, walk, run" phases have been great building blocks to promote growth with results..I talk little bit about how it can be beneficial to use this technique..I share my plans to use a crawl phase to help build my faith, mindset, and discipline for a 5 day growth building excersise.

Crawl Phase

We are familiar with using "control, alt, delete" on our computers to force certain programs to shut down..We often use that in our every day life away from computers..I have found that many times I want to force close something that I should have left running..It comes with a balance of understanding situations in our lives and being aware of our emotions..sometimes we need "control, alt, repeat" in our lives.

Control, Alt, Repeat.

We talk about Cancel culture and recognizing times in our lives that it helps us and can hurt us.How Matthew 5:44 really jumps out at me when this comes to mind."But I say, love your enemies!  Pray for those who persecute you!"The last things on our mind is to pray for our enemies, but i share my insight on what changed my thinking and how i try to apply this in my life.

Cancel Culture

Talking to a mental health professional can have a huge impact or even halt your military career.Losing your flight status or security clearance for getting help are possibilities and prevent these warriors from even starting a dialogue.How can we reach this group of warriors to start a new process?Is this something that should be done?I think so, and I talk about a few reasons why I didn&apos;t want to.

Not losing your spot.

Being grateful and thankful is important for growth.Recognizing anxiety and depression before it hits hard.discipline = Freedom.Don&apos;t wait until the new year to start working on your goals.

Perspective on Suffering

Digging into some mental "dark work" and processing traumatic events.Finiding healing and growth through mourning and processing.Not covering up emotions and allowing emotions to flow to bring healing.Allowing love to stay in past relationships, friendships, and situations, but letting go of the bad.Losing friends and family from combat, and allowing those memories..... because they are worth every one of them.

They are worth it!

Easter 2020 - Foundations in faith, and tomorrow is not going to pursue you.
