| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everyone? Welcome to another episode of the fit, healthy, and most of all, happy |
| 0:05.8 | podcast. As always, I'm your coach and host, Josh, here with his co-host and co-coach KG, and I'm in the |
| 0:13.7 | house. And welcome to another episode of Motivation Monday, where we get you fired up. Hope you |
| 0:20.4 | got a coffee or something. You're |
| 0:22.0 | ready to tackle that week because we absolutely are. We got a couple of big coffees here. |
| 0:26.4 | So we are pumped up. So I hope you are ready for an amazing episode because I can just already |
| 0:31.0 | tell this is going to be one of our best episodes ever. So you are in for a treat. And I'm going to |
| 0:36.2 | start with my quote because this is a |
| 0:37.7 | quote I'm very very passionate about I think it's kind of a fun one I was saying it to Kyle |
| 0:41.8 | recently and that there is always an excuse to be late but there is never a reason and I put |
| 0:47.9 | Josh Wilkinson I thought it was pretty good because the reason I like this quote is uh me and |
| 0:52.6 | Kyle really really love the quote and're probably heard to say it before. |
| 0:55.8 | Early is on time. |
| 0:57.0 | On time is late. |
| 0:58.0 | And late is unacceptable. |
| 0:59.7 | And my favorite thing about in general, right, we've all been late, I've been late. |
| 1:03.7 | And the second you're late, you just reach for every justification, right? |
| 1:07.5 | There's always a reason, you know, oh, you know, I didn't get up on time my car didn't have enough |
| 1:13.2 | gas i just offered gas right but 99% of the time a lot of this is controllable even to say what |
| 1:19.9 | about traffic look it up right it was even funny like today like Kyle you know he texts me he's like hey man |
| 1:25.8 | i'll be a little bit late and in this case it truly was out of his control because he had an appointment till 10 and there was some traffic and you let me know right and at the same time I'm like oh okay like let's see if that'll affect any other commutes right and like you can kind of use that right like even early on to see hmm you know like if you need to be at work it just made me think like if I if I had to be a shift at a certain time, you know, even getting that intel or in general, what I used to do is a few hours in advance, Kyle will always do it, he'll calculate to kind of see how long it is. And, you know, at least if you can say you tried everything, you know, it can feel great then. It's not that you'll never be late. I'm late sometimes. Like, I really try not to be, but my point is don't reach for those excuses to be late. |
| 2:04.4 | Really. then. It's not that you'll never be late. I'm late sometimes. I really try not to be, but my point is don't reach for those excuses to be late. Really look for reasons of what can I do better to be more prepared to be more of a timely person because being on time is just a great feeling. You know, even being a little bit early, there's way less stress involved. You feel more in control. And it was just something that was on top of my mind. |
