It’s 5:30 am here in Reno a few days after losing my son.
Tragedies have a way of swallowing us up if we let them. But it is a choice; a VERY CONSCIOUS CHOICE.
I choose to battle life on my terms.
So, I decided to get up at 4am for 90 minutes of martial arts to get a good jump on my day.
This is a declaration of war against life.
I will win this battle.

If you need a jump start, know that you will find it within yourself early in the morning.
If you are in need of a win, especially a Big Win- the kind where the battle is often fought against self - just know that the ultimate winner will always be the one who got up early to prepare.

As some podcaster said, “There are no LOSERS in the gym at 6am.”
Knowing that there are people who care is important to me.
Thank you for the kind words.
While I appreciate this, I want to make it clear that this post is about STOPPING THE BLEEDING far more than looking at how much blood there is.

Most of us are of a similar age.
This is a time when we are at the greatest time of EXPERIENCE & KNOWLEDGE in our lives.
Sure, we have lots of battles and wars to fight... and the biggest of all is The Battle to Live.
But this should be a time of victories for us.
Whether it be success at the window, weight loss, strengthening self, general health or building wealth.
Dave, I truly admire your inner strength and the approach you take to life. Here's to those victories; however big or small they may be for each of us!
