Episode Transcript

You're listening to the ShiftWork Podcast, Episode 90. Today's episode is all about how we set the frame for the future, and how we plan for success in our own life. But most people ask the question all wrong. They say what would you do if you only had a week to go or a month ago or a year left to go? Or they move it out to say, what would you do if you had 10 years left of life to live? When we reset the interval? And we ask ourselves, what would we do differently if we had 1000 days left on this planet? Today, we take a look at how we would change our life and optimize our conditions to become the best version of us and to have the most impact on the world around us. So stay tuned.

Hey, my friends, welcome back to the Shift Work Podcast. I'm your host, Luke layman. And today's episode is one of the most profound concepts that I have in my life. It's the way that completely reframed everything in my life, about the way that I prioritize the way that I make decisions where I focus my time and energy. And I'm excited to share it with you today. So I'll start by asking you this. What if I told you that you had 1000 days to go on this planet, that in 32.87 months, you would no longer be existing in this world? In two years, eight months andxa 26 days your journey in this life was complete? What would you change? And what would you do different. And today's episode is all about setting the framework so that we can reprioritize our efforts. And we can really begin to focus on what matters in our life, we can give to those people who need it most, who love us and need our love back, we can generate wealth and make plans for the future version of us. Today is going to be a complete reframe for you about the way that you're living your life. And I'm excited for the transitions and the changes that you're about to make. Before we get started today, I just want to express my gratitude for you for the way that you pour back into me for the way that you feed back into me for the way that you support the growth of this show, and the growth of me as a human, every time that you leave a comment or send to a friend or share on social media, you're paying it forward for someone else to share the message of growth and expansion in the lives that will allow us to continue to impact more people. So thank you. And I just want to let you know that I do read all the comments, every post that's left on social media, every comment that's made every comment that you leave below this episode, I read them all. And it's impactful for me to be able to have an understanding of the way that it impacts you, and how I can better serve you. So thank you. This year has been a very interesting year in my life. I'm 42 years old. And by all measures I'm very successful. As a business person, a former fighter pilot of father, my life is the result of the life that I've created. But this year specifically has been marked by some substantial loss in my life, though, both in my direct circle, but then also just folks around me. In the past year, I've lost both my grandfather, and my grandmother most recently, and though I wasn't super close to them, I did enjoy a little bit of time with them at the end of their life. And I was able to spend some time reflecting, but there's no sadness for me in leaving this world at 9293 94 years old. They lived very fruitful lives. But there has been some loss much closer to me. A couple of folks that I used to fly airplanes with have passed this this year. A couple of guys that I used to fly airplanes with have lost their lives this year, both to cancer and both in what I would consider to be fairly dramatic fashion as their demise took their physical body away from them. But then also in my extended circle most recently with Jesse Lee Ward, who at 34 years old, lost her battle to cancer in a very short timeframe. Or Dave Hollis, who died earlier this year. And what I really come to realize is that life continues to be so precious. And oftentimes we allow ourselves to lose sight and focus of the things that matter and we get so sucked in on the day to day, mostly on our wealth preservation and generation. Figuring out how we're going to create expansion in our life by generating money. And I'm all for generating money, I want to create generational wealth that's going to allow my children to have impacts well beyond my own time on this planet. But I'll admit to you that it's been awful hard for me to maintain my energy at times. And I find even though I literally just wrote a book about resilience, and about a victor mindset, instead of a victim mindset, that I find myself often times questioning much of the world, and my purpose for being here, what my dharma is, and I find myself working, often from circumstance, or from victimhood, or from a lack of an expansive thought process and beginning to think, in scarcity mindset, about a finite world and a finite game that I'm playing. But in this loss, and in this death that surrounded me, it's given me a time to reflect on my own life. And oftentimes, I can imagine that in your own life, when you experienced the same thing, it gives you the opportunity to reflect on what matters to you, your core value, your purpose, the people, you surround yourself with, the way that you give love and the way that you expect to receive love from others, and the way that you create expansion in the world around you. But oftentimes, it's hard in this reflection period, to not feel sorry for yourself, and to start thinking about the way that your life is finite and might be coming to an end. But the truth is, we really don't ever think that it will happen to us, there perhaps is this fear of death, that we begin to expel the idea from our. And perhaps it's this fear of death, that we begin to expel from our mind, this thought of finality, or the end of our own life, and whether or not we think about it, or we think that it will happen to us, we don't act like it. We might change our behaviors and change the way that we think about certain things for a very small amount of time. But we really don't reflect back to behavior changes. And I would tell you, that it's because we don't think about the right timeframe. And when you can grasp this concept of 1000 days to go, I promise you that it will change your life, it will change the way that you think about the paradigm of this world, it will change your relationships, it will change your own relationship with yourself. It'll allow you to set priorities, and to fulfill the obligations that you have for yourself. But I know I often don't act like my life is not finite. When I think about death, I don't really slow down, I don't really change my priorities. And this exercise that I really been going through this year of thinking through life with 1000 days to go has really forced me to rethink priorities. And when I'm running headstrong to the future, like I'm gonna last forever, it allows me to stop and adjust my daily basis, my flow, it allows me to think about where my energy should be going. And more importantly, it helps me remember what I need to say no to. But the problem is when we think that we're going to last forever, when we think that there's enough time on this world to accomplish all the things that we want to set out to do in our lives, to have the vacations to have the experiences to have the impact to generate the money to live the life that we want is that we don't have the self imposed sense of urgency that creates the necessity for us, that curiosity, the expansiveness that says, I must do this today. And here's what I know, your brain doesn't align your beliefs to fit your life. It aligns your life to fit your beliefs. And we don't feel our way into beliefs. We believe our way into feelings.

And when we believe that we're going to live forever, or that there is no sense of urgency in our life, we become complacent. And we allow ourselves to settle into a life of mediocrity, where we don't tell people that we love them every single day where we don't send text messages that say You're important to me, and you matter where we don't focus our energy on things that are our true dharma. We allow ourselves to be overcome by the sense of circumstances, and we allow life to impede on the things that we want for ourselves. So if your brain doesn't align your beliefs to fit your life and aligns your life, to fit to your beliefs, what do we need to believe about our future? What do we need to believe about what can become possible for us and the next 1000 days of our life? And if we don't feel our way into beliefs, but we believe our way into feelings, what sensations do I want to feel What emotions do I want to experience the massive depths of love? The joy, the dopamine hits of excitement. Do I want to see from the top of a mountain top? Or do I want to run along the valley and watch the rivers flow. And when we change the way that we think about what's possible for us, and we compress the timeframe to 1000 days, your life will change. When you think about what you will do when there's only 1000 days left, and I'll explain to you in a very short moment why this is so important. But when you change what you believe to be possible, you can believe your way into the feelings and the emotions that you want to experience for yourself. So if you've been downtrodden, if you've been frustrated, if you've been disappointed with the life that you have been dealt right now, today is the opportunity for you to change today is the opportunity for you to rethink what's possible for you and to adopt this 100. And to adopt this 1000 Day mindset. And I'll give you some tools towards the end of the episode that you can begin to take action today to reset your expectations for what you believe is possible for you. You know that you're at an inflection point, a place where a new life will begin and to take a new shape and a new meaning. And you'll begin to have more impact on those around you. And when you do this for a purpose driven in state, I guarantee you that you will have more money, more time, more impact, more opportunity to spend with those that you love. That's the name of the game. For me, the name of the game is my ability to enjoy the fruits of my labor to spend more time with the people that I love to have the impact on my children, my surroundings, you, me, and to create more longevity, for myself. And here's what else I know to be true. Most people overestimate what you can do in a day, but you wildly underestimate what you can do in a year. And in the course of 1000 days, you can completely change the course of your whole life. So what if I told you that you had 1000 days to go 32.87 months, two years, eight months, and 26 days. If you're listening to this on the day that I released this episode, you'll know that 1000 days from now is June 23 2026. But what's also important is the date that was 1000 days ago 1000 days from the release of this episode was December 31 2020. Which is interesting. And I didn't plan this when I was planning for this episode or thinking about the ways that I was going to release this. But if you're anything like me, December 31, or the week leading up to that between Christmas and New Year's is a very significant week, it's the opportunity to look back and to reflect and to take inventory of where you are in your life. But then to make changes about the way that you will live your life in the future. We reset our behaviors and our beliefs and our characteristics and the behavior and the things that we want out of our environment. Notice that I don't say that December 31 is the day that we set new goals. Because I'm not living on a finite basis or playing a finite game. That helps me by thinking in 365 days, the only reason why 365 days matters is because it's the number of days it takes to take a trip around the sun. But that's not really having any impact on my own life. What if I want to say that I want to accomplish everything that I set out to do and 12 months, 24 months, 36 months? What if I say that I want to accomplish it in two days, that arbitrary timeframe of the number of days that it takes to go around the sun becomes completely limiting in the way that we think about the world. But it's interesting to me that when I think about 1000 days, that that happens to coincide with December 31. So let me tell you some things about what December 31 2020 looked like for me. I was just shy of my 40th birthday. And I had already begun to think about plans for my family that summer. I knew that I wanted to have some sort of Bonanza blowout and we had begun to think about going to the West Coast. Now. What would transpire in the months that followed is quite interesting. Because we were looking as a family about the transition in our life about what moves we would want to make as a family whether or not we were going to reset our life in a new location. And later that summer we would do so but I didn't know it on December 31 2020. My business was a little over six years old and had had substantial growth. I think that was the first year that we got to the Inc 5001 of the fastest growing companies in America, my daughter was just turning seven, my son was probably not yet five. But I will tell you one thing for sure. On December 31 2020, I had no concern about the end of my life. I had an assumption that I would live for forever. But if I were to think about my life right now, like three Laird, or Donnie camp, who are my friends I lost this year who did not make it to see this day, I would have changed everything about my life on December 31 2020, I would have not done the last 1000 days, the way that I've done them. And as I think back to what my priorities have been, I'm proud and I have gratitude for what I've accomplished in my life right now. But I would have done it differently. There's a lot of things that I would not have put in my body foods that I would not have eaten alcohol that I would not have consumed, there's probably exercise that I would have done. There's some legacy planning, which we'll talk about in a moment, there's things that I would have done differently over the last 1000 days. But if I think about the future, and I think about 1000 days from now, June 23 2026, when I'm recording this episode, but whenever you listen to it, it's just short of three years, when you take inventory of what your life was, like three years ago, and what it will be like three years from now, you can begin to think about what you might do differently. So why 1000 days? Why is it important for us to be able to draw the line in the sand that says 1000 days? Well, here's the reason. If I tell you that you have one week to go, or one month to go, it's very easy, you'll stop doing everything you won't go to work, you'll give a great Dear Boss letter or I quit letter, you'll stop doing revenue producing activities, education, for sure is going to go out the window. But you'll only do the things right now. That feed you emotionally, you'll pour heavily into your loved ones, you'll pick up the phone a little bit and call and say goodbyes. Or if there's some last words of wisdom that you'll want to share with someone, you'll do that you'll write some letters, but that last week, or that last month is going to be very focused on just a very finite end game for you to wrap up your end of life. But if I tell you that you have 10 years to go, if you fast forward 10 years from now, and you start thinking about Of course I've got a lot of life to live, I'm not really in any urgency, because that's pretty good for me at 42 years old. If I make it to 52 years old, that's not when I would want to depart this world, I'd love to live over 100. And there's a lot of research that says that I can do so when I focus on my body and preserving this earthly being that I've embodied.

But if I have 10 years to go, my daughter will be almost 20 years old, my son 17 or 18 years old, I'll be able to see them through high school graduation, I won't see the birth of their first child, I won't see their wedding likely. But that's plenty of time for me to go out there and do it. And while I'm not excited, and I'm certainly not wishing that into my life right now. 10 years is a long time. But what about 1000 days? What about 32 months, because what I can't do is I can't arbitrarily stop the revenue production. There's lots of things that I can continue to do at this large income earning portion of my life to be able to make long term provisions for my family. But if I actually knew that I had 32 months to go 1000 days, and I could forecast it. And I could make the news story out of it, it becomes quite interesting. I can maybe do a GoFundMe, I could be able to raise some funds to be able to do a project that I might have wanted to do for quite some time. Or maybe I would completely refocus on away from revenue producing and into impact generating, how is it that I'm gonna have the most impact on those around me. But there's a lot of things a laundry list of things that I wouldn't likely do if I only had 1000 days to go. Education, frankly, isn't all that important. I wouldn't be trying to figure out how I was going to prepare myself for the next 10 or 15 or 20 years, I would read. Because I enjoyed it. I would read for fulfillment and expansiveness. And I would educate myself only on things that I believed could increase my impact on those around me. But the remainder of this episode is really about the things that I'll stop doing. And what I'll start doing and there's this awesome framework that I've come across that I think is so profound. It's called the five by five framework and it says very simply, if it's not going to matter In five years, that I'm not going to give it five minutes today. And I didn't do the math in this episode to be able to break down into a number of minutes. That 1000 days was, but it's still a lot, I just know that I'm going to be specific about where I'm going to give my time and energy. But I know that every five minutes that I give away is five minutes that I won't get back. And I need to make sure that they're fully aligned with where I want them to be aligned. But here's the key to all of this gratitude. There's an old Zen proverb. There is an old Zen proverb that says, expect nothing, appreciate everything. And I spent a lot of time on this show talking to you about how we begin to give thanks and have gratitude for our present, instead of displacing our happiness against some marker in the future, a relationship that we don't yet have money that we don't yet have income impact experiences that have not yet come our way, we begin to experience gratitude today. And if you can't do it from where you are now, what leads you to believe that you can do it in the future, what leads you to believe that accomplishing those milestones, or having that revenue, or having that impact is going to make you any more happy than you are today. Because when we practice the state of gratitude, we can look around the life that we have the death that we have. Even with all the sadness that I've had this year and experiencing the loss, there's still an enormous amount to be thankful for. If for nothing else, than the opportunity to reframe my own thoughts and to think about where my time and energy need to be prioritized. It's a constant reminder for me to be able to put my energy where I need to put my energy. Much of what we do when we think about the 1000 day plan, is we think about our life's delete key, what is it that you will stop doing? If you only had less than 36 months on this planet? What is it that you would stop doing today, and I'm going to give you an interesting framework here, the plus one minus one and just a second for you to be able to reprioritize that not because you're gonna live forever, because you and I are leaving this world the exact same way. We just don't know when it's gonna happen. But when I think about what I need to do on a daily basis, I need to really think about what I'm going to stop doing. So as much as we think about what we should stop doing, this show was about what we should start doing. And I'll offer you this framework of the four F's of the places that you should put your time and energy. It's very simple, family, finance, fitness, and faith, because that's really all that matters. And I'll start at the top family. When I think about my own legacy, when I tell you that I'm on a mission to leave behind a trail of better humans, I'm talking to you. But I'm also talking to me. And I'm also talking to my children. And for so long as this podcast will continue, I hope that my children will have the opportunity to come listen, and to know that I love them. And that the actions that I took on a daily basis I did in service to them. But I know with three years left to go, that family becomes the overarching priority. And maybe it's not my family of birth, but also my family of choice. The people that I know that are in my life, for a reason, seasons or a lifetime that have become my circle, the people that have the most impact on me and the most influence on me, and also the place that I want to pour into them. But here's the thing about family. If I had three years to go 36 months, I also know that my children have a life that they need to live. They don't need me to be there every single minute of every single day. And frankly, after a week, it would probably get pretty obnoxious. And that's why you can't think about what life would look like if you only had one week or one month to go. For sure. If I had a diagnosis that says you have one month to go. I know that my children would come by my bedside, and they would love me and we would watch movies and we would have popcorn night, but I don't just have one month ago. And the reason why we change to think about 1000 days to go is because I know that those children need to live a life on their own. I know that my extended family of choice needs to have their life and their impact and they need to work on their service to the world around them and they don't need daily or you Have an hourly impact for me, but they do need consistency. So when I think about 1000 days to go, how is it that I'm going to feed my family. And I don't mean physically, but how am I going to pour into them, to give them everything that they need to let them know that I love them, that my life is in service to them. And they are the highest priority in my life, the second half finances with three years to go, I know that my earning power continues. As an able bodied human, I've got a lot of earning opportunity left. But I also know that it's not the highest priority, I know that I need to balance it, I know that I need to say no to things that don't serve me, or don't lift me up, or don't fulfill me. And then I'm doing to only chase a buck. And when I look for the things that have the highest impact, it helps me to understand what I'll say no to so putting my life through the so putting my life through the lens of having three years to go, I'm able to say I know that I will work, I know that I will continue to do the thing that I'm set out to do to generate revenue for my family, perhaps I'll make some better investments along the way, perhaps I'll take some of the liquidity that I have to make preparations for them in the future. Perhaps I'll change some of those finances, to be able to use them for vacations to feed my family. Perhaps in that financial balance, I'll find that I don't actually need to work 4050 6070 hours a week that I might just prefer to work 30 hours a week, to be able to focus on my family and my finances together. The third fitness, why? Because I know that we have three years to go that I want my body to be able to serve me to have the experiences that I desire. In three years, I

know that I could get very fat and very lethargic when you think about it on a one week timeline. If you only had one week to go, do you really even need to work out ever? Do you ever really need to eat anything other than exactly what you want to put in your body? It's steak and potatoes or Thai food every night for me for the remainder of the seven days that I have left on this planet. But with three years left to go with 1000 days left to go, I know that I could really put my body in peril in really just a few short months if I really allowed myself to be unhealthy. So while I might have 1000 days to go, I could probably use seven or 800 of those in really a less than optimal condition so that I do know that my fitness remains a high priority. The foods that I put in my body, the exercise that I do on a daily basis to keep my joints strong, to keep my muscles lean and strong. I know that fitness needs to have a priority. And finally, faith is I near the end of my life with 1000 days to go is a renewed and continued interest in what happens after I leave this world. When my body goes to heaven and I get the promised everlasting life. I want to continue to renew that relationship with God. And I know that when I've created this balance of family finance, fitness and faith, that I'm living closer to my sense of purpose and that my priorities and that my priorities are aligned with where they need to be. First Corinthians chapter 13 says Love never fails. But where there are prophecies. First Corinthians chapter 13 says Love never fails. But where there are prophecies they will cease, where there are tongues they will be stilled, where there is knowledge, it will pass away, for we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when completeness comes what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part, then I shall know fully even as I am fully known. And now these three remain, faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I love that verse because it's a constant reminder to me that I am a ever evolving being and the ways of the child had given way too. The versions of me that I am today, and even the versions of me will continue to give way. And if I had 1000 days to go, I know that I will become a better human, when I focus on faith, hope, and love, which brings me to which I would call the hidden F. This would be the fifth f, if I were to include it. And that is forgiveness. What I asked you today is how many minutes you spend each day, holding a grudge, carrying frustration, disappointment, anxiety about a conflict that you have in your life, when in actuality in three years, that conflict wouldn't matter. And likely the person that you're having conflict with on your deathbed would also say, I'm sorry, I didn't want to expend the energy that we had in the conflict together. And if you were to get to your deathbed, 1000 days for today, and you wouldn't feel the level. And if you were to get to your deathbed 1000 days from today, and not feel a level of remorse associated with that relationship, or that conflict that you have today. Is the relationship really worth keeping. And if it is worth keeping, perhaps today is the day that you go, and you offer forgiveness, knowing that faith, hope and love remain. And the greatest of these is love and how will you express to those that you love your level of forgiveness, to offer a genuine forgiveness? To say it's not important for me to continue to hold this grudge, or to carry this animosity that I have. So what do we do with this with 1000 days left to go? Where do I put my energy? Where do I focus my energy. For me, it's family finance, fitness and faith. Perhaps I make sure that my family has time for vacations and memories, while I also serve and honor the fact that they are continuing to grow and they're on their own journey, I develop my family of choice relationships with my friends and connections that I want to pour in, who lift me up, maybe I want to take a guy's trip to go raft the Gauley River, what I know for sure is that with three years left, that some of my energy needs to go to my finances, and the opportunity to frankly, just clean up house and to get rid of some of the excess junk the paperwork that nobody would actually need to know. But maybe I reset the beneficiaries on some of my plans so that my loved ones can actually live a life after I leave this planet. And then I focus my daily energy on my fitness to make sure that I haven't able bodied here to carry me through the remainder of my almost three years that I have left on this planet. And I focus daily on my renewed relationship with God. I pray to Jesus every single day and I focus on my faith, little bits every single day. And the question is, if you only had 1000 days to go, where is your energy misaligned? Where have you allowed your time and energy to be focused in the last 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, when you look back? And you said if I had three years to go? What I really have spent all my energy there? Where are your relationships misaligned? If you only had three years left to go 1000 days left on this planet? Who would you want to spend them with? Whose energy do you want to receive? And who do you want to give your energy to? Because perhaps that misalignment is the cue in your life. For people that need to leave your life, or perhaps is the opportunity for you to welcome in a new relationship for you to accept someone in your life who's going to give you energy. One of the first places to look over the last 90 days is to look at your reactions. You see your reaction show where your focus should be it shows where you need to grow. When you can find your reactions to say I laughed, I was enthusiastic. I saw an opportunity I felt encouraged. Those reactions are places that you should put your energy when you feel discouraged, disheartened, me misaligned in your reactions or frustration, anger, disappointment, sorrow. You need to look at those places right now and to say that's not worthy of my time and energy. And when you apply the five by five matrix, you say if it won't matter in five years, I won't give it five minutes now. And if I only had 1000 days left on this planet, would I really continue to pour into that conflict or that relationship anymore? see your reactions show you where your focus should be. Now as we begin to bring this episode to a close, I want to remind you that your actions matter significantly less than your reactions. How you respond to someone speaks infinitely greater than any action that you take, no matter the good deed the service that you intend to do. It's the grace and the compassion in your reaction that speaks volumes, about the way that you want to interact and about the level of value that you wrote. And about the level of value that you place on the relationship around you. I don't know your story. I don't know what your story is that got you to where you are today. But I do know this, it pales in comparison to the story that is about to unfold for you. If you only had 1000 days to go, but you get to keep all the learned and lived experiences, you get to keep what you know about the world. But you get to view it through a new lens. You get to view it through the lens of optimism and encouragement and you get to displace conflict, because you know that it just doesn't matter. I wouldn't accept that transaction if it doesn't make me feel good. Or if I can't uplift someone around me, I wouldn't enter into that relationship, or that engagement or that opportunity. So no matter what your story is that got you to where you are today. I don't know what story you're telling. Are you the best version of yourself today, are you saying I've been living by circumstance, and I've been allowing opportunity to pass me by and I've been focusing my energy and efforts on the wrong thing. No matter what you have in your past, no matter what your story is, it pales in comparison to the story that it's about to unfold for you. I say the universe is conspiring in your favor.

I say that the stars are aligning that you are here for a divine reason. And that with a little bit of alignment with a little bit of a refocus, to go faith, fitness, finance and family are my priorities. And I've allowed myself to become misaligned. I know now that I get the opportunity, and I hope that you get 10 years, I hope that you get 30 more years on this planet. But if you only get three more, and you spent every single one of those days focused on the right thing, I know that the rest of the remainder of your days are going to be exponentially more encouraging and more uplifting for those around you and that you will live a more fulfilled life. So my question for you is one day or day one? Is it Sunday, or today? When you begin to treat your life, like it's not infinite, and that you will come to the end, and treat your life as though you only have 1000 days to go. Can you really afford to not start today? Can you really afford for today to not be day one? So what commitment can you make today? Which area of your life needs the most action? Is it your family? Is it finance? Is it fitness? Is it faith? And I can almost guarantee you that in all cases that forgiveness should be the first step perhaps it's you that needs forgiving. Perhaps perhaps you've been slipping. Perhaps you've been hitting the bottle a little too much. Perhaps you've been skipping the workouts. Perhaps you've been stepping out on your spouse, perhaps you've been living with indiscretion, perhaps you've been lazy. If any of those things are true forgiveness to yourself is the first step to say I have been trying. I've been doing my best. But today I'm going to make a commitment that today is day one. And I will do better today. Or perhaps the forgiveness that you need to extend this to someone else. Perhaps that forgiveness is to someone that you feel may have slighted you mistreated you and in turn, you had a heart at war and you've been mistreating them in turn, and to make the commitment today that says I'm going to do better. I'm going to be a better person. I'm going to leave behind a trail of better humans. So what if you had 1000 days? And what if that 1000 days was made up of 10 more 100 days? What is it that you can accomplish in the next 100 A days that will completely set the trajectory for the remainder of your life. What if over the next 100 days you could commit to time with your family every single day, focusing yes on your finances, to allow yourself to continue to generate the wealth that you need to sustain your family and your level of life that you desire. But for each of the next 100 days that you focus on your fitness, you make a commitment to yourself that you're going to focus on the food that goes in your body, and the exercise that you need. And what if for the next 100 days, you make a commitment to renew your faith, even if it's a prayer, or even, even if it's a prayer, or a journal, or reading a chapter from a devotional or the Bible to renew your relationship with God. Because you know that you're on a predetermined path for greatness, and this is the opportunity to reset. Will you do it one day? Or will today be day one, my friend, if you're making a commitment today, to be a better version of yourself, I want to support you in that journey. You can leave a comment below.
