You are exactly where you're supposed to be.

It's a phrase that sounds nice, but it is one that I come back to when things are at their worst.

If I go, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, then there has to be a reason for this.

Then what can I do to how can I take advantage of this situation, no matter how bad it seems?

And so if you take ownership, then you're

taking responsibility. And it might not be your fault for where you're at, but it damn sure is

your responsibility. Spartans, listen up. We need to sleep better. Was it how do you sleep better? Never

thought about before. And so I met Jack. I met Ascentia. Pay attention to the mattress to sleep on

Recovery, cooling, and pressure relief. All in one mattress. Up to 60% more deep and REM sleep.

beginning to emulate me. And so it makes me reflect back on, you know, how much of my life

was my choice versus was I just mirroring what I saw. And that was definitely what I knew. And I,

what I saw in my father, I loved and I emulated. And he was in the National Guard for a bit, you know, basically part-time army before going

active duty, full-time military.

And I just loved what I saw.

You know, it's this big burly man, just doing cool outdoor shit all the time.

Yeah, actually while he was in the National Guard, he was my Boy Scout

troop leader. And there's nothing cooler than your dad, who is a military guy coming back

after some field training, bringing all of his like war toys and field equipment and taking
