Are you all in or faded in your freedom
Stop chasing balance - grow your capacity instead and own the moments of here and now!
Growing capacity has the greatest power to empower within our journey. A desire for balance is a destination that is forever moving. Body being balance and business - growing capacity = doing what the f%^k works - WTFW. This is growing capacity - if I am doing the wrong s*&t I am not growing my capacity to experience life I am growing my ability to live life on the wrong path. Growing capacity is embracing the journey. Empowered by the unknown as I am always in a state of becoming. My father - the power of associations Right people...

Don’t give up the thing that drives you to be better. Three key principles -selfish VS Self interest
Powerful lesson learned from a Ted talk I listened to while walking in the morning. Practice rigorous authenticity - surrender the outcome - do the work. I reflected on Warrior and the mindset of be real, raw, relevant so that our results reflect our true desires. Maybe these words spoken by this gentlemen on Ted talks rang true as I linked them to what I have learned living the warrior way. Maybe my own recent shortcomings made the words he said sting a little more than usual. I am either authentic or I am a liar. Its that simple. The...

Father son lesson learned - raising his voice ... told me - you made me this way... That voice within was quick to say - own it, learn .. share it.

Painful and yet living the Warrior way I was quick to own it.... he was right. I get it man - I...

My son didn’t get a medal and I am glad. He got some
My son didn’t get a medal and I am glad - he got something better! He felt the pain, considered his options and took action. He asked the question - what do I need to do to earn a medal? So damn proud of my son. He earned a little courage and with that he has a lesson that will serve him for the rest of his life. How about you? What questions are you meant to ask today - courageously. Isn‘t it crazy - be it 7 years old or 43 years old like me there is an undeniable powe...

Monday, March 15th 2021 Surprises are a beautiful thing. Decided to head north for one day to see my pops for his birthday. It was a good drive, Derek was amazing helping with Genevieve and while she only broke down once seems lunchables was the solution. Soon after arriving pops looked at me and said - thank you. I did not do it for that - it was not about hearing the words - it was the look in his eyes. It was .... I was just so happy to see him happy. To see him happy knowing for his birthday we...

DATE: Tuesday, January 19th 2021 HERE’S THE STORY: Got up 3 am - decided to stay up knowing another hour of sleep would have probably messed me up more than serving me.

Pivot within VS. Pivot away from - the power to pivot is on you!
Title: Pivot within VS Pivot away from - the power is on you! Branden Mackenzie | Jan 10th 2021 THE STORY : Was listening to a powerful audio from the Warrior audio app and realized there are two ways we must pivot in life. 1. Pivot away from that which does not serve us. It is a false lift to live and pivot within the frames of life we do not belong. There is a bit of mercy as we go through the years of life we have created - an understandable amount of struggle to break through the barriers created, to burn the...

My path ahead was full of mud so I took the hill! When will you take the path less travelled?
I walk daily for an hour with a 30 pound ruck. My path I always take was muddy so I took the hill off to the left. This is about all the times in life we see the path ahead... the path we have always taken... we notice the mud ahead and realize there is another way. This is about the journey over the desination.

Fight for the journey or the destination
Targets, goals, dreams, visions, destinations - all powerful and yet I wonder is the power in getting there or is the real power in the journey. In the struggle, in the victory of presence within the moment. I believe at times we fight so hard to get to that certain place that ( it ) becomes the obsession. There is a shift. Its as if we lose site of the power to be had within the journey because so much energy is being used to fight for the image we want and or created yesterday. We are taught in many ways life...
