HOOYAH TEAM!!! WAKE UP!!!, WAKE UP!!!, WAKE UP!!! Welcome to a brand new day. Oh, and by the way, you made it to Friday!!! It is another Fine and Outstanding day. It is another day above Dirt and another opportunity to give your all. You often see me say that the Only Easy Day was Yesterday. So what does that really mean? The struggles you had yesterday or earlier in the week or even last month, no matter how difficult and stressful they may have been, no matter how much suffering you had to endure to get past them, that was yesterday. You survived. You endured long enough to get past that sufferfest. Today is a new day as is tomorrow and the next and however many we may be blessed to see come in the future. Each new day brings with it new opportunities and new struggles. We have to find that spark that motivation to start each and everyday with the proper POSITIVE ATTITUDE. We need to know our "WHY". What is it that gets you FIRED UP and MOTIVATED to jump out of that rack, get that blood pumping and put that smile on your face each and everyday to venture into the unknown? None of us know what the new day brings. All we know is that we must be ready for anything. Plan for the mission at hand and look at every possibility for struggles and be ready to adapt and improvise as needed. Ensure your teammates are well trained, equipped with the tools and knowledge to effectively carry out the mission. You also see me write that "You Are Never Out of the Fight". This is plain and simple. You may be in the midst of the SUCK!!! Weather it in in your work with impending project deadlines or in your relationships dealing with struggles or even in physical activity suffering in the middle of a physical challenge. Many of us know these struggles all to well. we can relate to being on a long run or workout struggling and I mean really struggling where you are gasping for air, maybe throwing up and sweating. That feeling of being beat down or maybe in the case of MMA actually being beat down and punched in the face and on the mat. We have all heard that little voice in our head that says "Why am I doing this?" If you do not know your Why, most times it is all too easy to submit to the mental fatigue and quit. However, if you do know your WHY, it makes it easier to pull from that motivation and dig deep and claw and scratch and do whatever it takes to suck it up and overcome that struggle. Each and everyone of us has what it takes to overcome adversity. It all boils down to How Bad Do you Want It??? Do you as an individual or do you as a member of a Team want to succeed bad enough that you will lay it all on the line and NEVER GIVE UP in order to ensure your success? I know you can. Do you know you can? This is why no matter what, each and every day is a gift. Never forget that. Everyday you wake up is a new opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the past a push forward on to successful new challenges. Never Stop challenging yourself. We should always be looking for new and better ways to push our limits so we are in a constant state of growth. So Team, Let's get out there and Let's get FIRED Up and MOTIVATED to finish out this week strong and have a great weekend. You are Elite, and You Are NEVER Out of the FIGHT!!! HOOYAH TEAM!!! Never Give Up!!!
