Great reminder of something I’ve had to work on and need to continue working on. Thank you for bringing this to the front of my brain!❤️🥃

Thanks for sharing your story! It can be very profound how much more powerful actions are than words if we just pay attention. ❤🥃

Great video, just subscribed

Great message, Josh. You hit all four of Goleman's quadrants of emotional intelligence: Self-awareness: Understanding your own emotions, strengths, weaknesses, values, and drivers Self-management: Managing your emotions instead of suppressing them Social awareness: Being aware of the social aspects of a situation Relationship management: Handling relationships well Enjoy the weekend!

You’re absolutely right! As a truck driver I find find I take a lot of actions from cars and pickups personal because of how they react to “me” going down the road. In my nearly 4 million accident free miles people just don’t like trucks. I’m not a slow driver but I don’t drive 80mph all day either. Just gotta let things go and try our best to be nice, have patience and be kind to each other. ❤

Thank you for sharing that. I’m calling my Dad right now.

Your strong

Really great! Excellent aesthetics as well!

Momento Mori...several years ago I started studying the Stoics and never realized how some of the philosophies touch so many parts of my life.

Grace is one of those things that is difficult to give but after you give it it’s such a satisfying gift we can give. I just wish more people could let themselves experience it. It’s so humbling to give and receive it!❤

Hey…braces buddy! I’ve had mine on since June with upper jaw surgery on the horizon (in about a year) to fix alignment issues. AND I wore them back when I was 16 too. Only thing that bothers me is trying to talk quickly when teaching or singing quickly in my community choir. We’ll compare notes on dental products when I talk to you over the video interwebs.

People I don’t know can say whatever they want. Good or bad I’ll probably hear it but I won’t take it to heart. People I love, I’ll listen to them because it’s probably something I should pay attention to. Cheers brother!!

Anything worth doing isn’t always easy and showing humility when it’s necessary to accept responsibility will most certainly build better character to be on the way to being a better person. ❤🥃

I agree I always try to look at what I did wrong before pointing fingers at anyone else

Well said.

Randy and I have talked about this recently, but I also had to "unplug" a little to refocus on my family. I love to chat bourbon with all my buddies, but family has to come first, so I've backed off alot.

Great video Josh! Don't stress on things you can't control. I once read, don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff! (Richard Carlson) Chin up!

Let’s go win today!

Love it great video Josh! Great message

❤

I completely agree, I have turned off most all notifications where I can. A few extra things I’ve implemented, and I’m on an iPhone. 1. The Roots App. You can set limits on your apps, so once I hit my limit for the day it shuts the app down and makes it exceptionally hard to get into it. It’s really cut down on my social media doom scrolling. 2. The Home Screen. The new iOS lets you change the Home Screen to a monochrome color for the icons. I can’t describe how much less you want to interact with your phone when it isn’t as pretty and shiny to look at. I handed it to my wife to look something up, she couldn’t comprehend how I can even look at it.

It’s funny you did this video my wife and I just discussed yesterday how much more I am on my phone and not present. I started to think about it and how right she was. I am going to turn off all notifications and put my phone away. I love chatting with all my bourbon buddies but man it does suck you in.

I couldn’t agree more. A few weeks ago I decided to silence many of my notifications and I feel it’s helped me a lot. My business runs thru my phone so I can’t shut them all down but the sideline stuff definitely doesn’t need all my attention. Good stuff Josh! Keep em comin!

We were just watching Ready Player One which deals with this as a normal way of life living in virtual reality. At the end of the they shut that down two days a week so you can not have that distraction. Simple but practical. Wise words here. Thank you!

It's so awesome to hear you mention the $15k goal, knowing what actually happens a few hours later. :)

Keep fighting the good fight, Josh! You got this.

Always love listening and hopefully hearing your messages Josh! Helps keep me in check. Keep em comin!

Another amazing video! spoken from the heart as always. Love hearing your message brother keep it up!

Keep em comin Josh! Your posts give me time to reflect and evaluate myself in what I’m doing right and what I need to work on. ❤️

❤❤

Life is a full-contact sport, brother. Winston Churchill said, "When going through hell, keep going.' You're going to come out on the other side more strong and resilient than before these experiences. God bless you guys.

Another great message! Thanks Brother

Needed this. Felt like I was sitting across from you at a coffee shop getting the pep talk I need. HTFU - what does the h stand for 😅

Great video Josh! Love this message and 100% believe in this!

❤❤

Good thoughts Josh…and make sure you hydrate. I believe if everyone in this country would do more community service, then empathy and cooperation would be a much needed by product.

Love listening to you speak brother. Thanks for always posting great stuff.

Loving the content Josh! Well said❤

Erin might be mad at me then since I was actively encouraging you to see the new schedule as a well timed opportunity 😜

Strive to be better with 0 expectations.

I think we shy away from change because routine brings us a sense of security, and when change challenges that security, we fight it, because who wants to not feel safe? The bad thing that routine does, I think, is gives us a false sense that we are in control, and then here comes change to mess that all up too. It's hard to overcome. I wish I could say that I have, but I haven't. It's a constant work in progress, I believe.

Where I live there are no forests 🌳 so I don’t think this video is for me but I’ve interacted with it and hopefully that helps you out.

❤

Another great message Josh! Having faith and knowing we’re not in control of everything helps to get though the tough times. Everything will work out just like it’s supposed to

Nothing worth doing is easy!

Sometimes the hard things seem insurmountable because we are overwhelmed with the task in front of us. Can we break it down into more manageable pieces? Inch by inch it’s a cinch. Is this something I can commit to 20 minutes a day? 2 hours a week? What are the rewards if I do it? What are the consequences if I don’t do it or put it off too long? Short term and long term. Is this the right or honorable thing to do? Am I hurting someone else by not doing it? Am I hurting myself by not doing it? If someone I love came to me with the same dilemma, what advice would I give them. If all else fails, give it the thought and consideration it deserves and sleep on it before you go with a hard “no”.

Love your message here Josh!

Great thoughts Josh! No need to compare your quadricep circumference to others, just be happy you didn’t skip leg day. 🏋🏼😁👍🏻

Finally finishing this video - was the B522 comparison planned? Strangely apropos
