Gym Experience

I Had a magical day at the track on saturday. This fall weather is really something beautiful. After a long hard week in the WAR gym experience - a track experience was exactly what I needed, and provided me with the perfect escape. I listened to good music, got my mind lifted through the exercise, and then just got lost in gratitude and prayer for an hour or so. After the workout I even laid in some leaves and just kind of relaxed as I let myself cool down. That entire experience, along with the crisp comfortable air, coupled with the scenery from the leaves - led me to having a great night with my kids.

These experiences make me a better father and husband. I got as high as I needed to be on this Saturday afternoon. The high that I came to experience wasn't a high that I was going to need to chase or come down from; it was a lasting high that was real - and for that I'm thankful.  

I couldn't be successful in life if it wasn't for this WAR program. I use this program more than anyone will ever know. The Opiate and Amphetamine whispers are still a constant in my head each and every day, but through this WAR Lifestyle I am able to make my way around their whispers because of how I can replace their message with the WAR message. I can read and study about Christ, which gets me high. I can go and create unique experiences for myself, which gets me high. I can dial in my nutrition, which gets me high. I can get stronger in strength and conditioning, which gets me high. I can live in the moment with my wife and kids, which gets me high. I can work on being patient, humble, and meek, which gets me high.

And most importantly - I can help someone to learn the WAR lifestyle-and then watch it change them, which provides me with the greatest high of all.
