Reflection:
I've been thinking about a video that Jordan Peterson put out called "Pick Your Damn Sacrifice." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjI7vqizTRc
Check it out. Words of Wisdom.
Having my two oldest getting ready to leave home for 18months and 2 years had me thinking about our voyage into adulthood and what they are being asked to sacrifice to cross into adulthood as well as what other youth over the ages have been asked to sacrifice to enter into adulthood whether it be vision quests, basic training, or war.
As men, we have the opportunity to be better each day. Better employers/employees, leaders, fathers, brothers, friends, husbands, etc., so what is it that we need to do to achieve the next level? What can we sacrifice to be more balanced, more effective?
Mumble Chatter:
Not much today. Kind of cold to talk… Nice to see the bodies laying around after the Merkin Press Attacks. Wonder what the passerbys were thinking? "Same old thing, different day."
It was a true honor to lead you chaps today!
