100 push ups for 30 days (WEEKEND EDITION)

I'd been two days.
Push ups: 0
Much work, still, lies ahead young paddiwan. (Spell check? )
Before I feel down, I remind myself of the goal. 100 push ups for THIRTY DAYS (not 30 consecutive days... Muajajaja loop holes.)

Defining Quote

When I first came across this, I was listening to Les Brown.
The way he delivered it, the message, the TIMING; brought me to tears.
These words, summarize who I am, and who I want to IMPROVE.

" I do not choose to be a common man. It's my right to be uncommon- if I can. I seek opportunity- not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter an incentive for a dole. I preffer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence, the thrill of fufilment to the stale calm of eutopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a hand out. I will never cowar before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand errect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly, and say, this I have done."
- Dean Alfange

06/27/19- Day Two

Day two of 100 push ups for 30 days.

I completed 130 push ups YAY!!!
(my personal goal was 150 though). I was 20 push ups away from meeting my goal. But I PERMITTED my inner demons to get in my way.
I learned a valuable lesson at the end of the day, after meditation, and a little pick me up from my best friend, Denise, my wife.

I was reminded that ego, is a double edged sword.
I was reminded that I have to keep my eyes on the prize.
I was reminded that one can't let other's viewpoint or comments about you get YOU down.
Finally, I was reminded that I can't change the past, I can't predict the future. What I CAN do, is control how I'm going to RESPOND to the game of life.

Seize the day folks, DON'T LET NOTHING STOP YOU FROM ACHIEVING GREATNESS.

06/26/2019- 100 pushups a day for 30 days.

Ten at a time, through out the day. One brick at a time, and a great wall can be constructed.  Big goals broken down into smaller goals plus time and action= results.
I can proudly report :
Goal met :D
29 days to go.. Whoo hoo (he said as his arms nearly fell off. Jk lol)
