What can you do now that you could not do a year ago? Writing this email every week day. In the beginning of 2019 there is no way I would have been able to write this email everyday. It took a lot of growing through training and growing through deep self evaluation. I had to prove to myself through my training for last year's race schedule that I was capable of doing things I didn't think possible from the previous year (2018). I think the final piece for me was when I decided to do the 90 day no alcohol challenge. I was receiving daily emails from OYNB (One year no beer) when I joined the challenge. I was encouraged by a gym member to share these email messages. So I decided to write how I interpreted these emails and how they could or would have an affect on my life. I found that sharing these emails and then starting to write my own emails was helping me grow and open up as a person, a man, a husband, a father, a friend, a coach and hopefully a mentor. 

Writing these emails to you all isn't easy to do on a daily basis, but they are enjoyable and rewarding to write. It has gone from a want to write to a need to write and that my friends is magical when that happens. Being a person who likes to be a bit more of the alpha type, these daily emails help remind me that it's ok to be an alpha type person, but it should be done with a healthy dose of humbleness and fear. Humbleness to keep you grounded and fear to help keep you genuine. I thank all of you for allowing and encouraging me to share these thoughts and ideas and I hope to continue them for a long time to come.
