Had to just look up Murphys Law, Iā€™d never seen that before but definitely have days where I could feel it is real!
Hope your feeling better now. Iā€™d say go for that walk if you can, I know itā€™s easy to say it and we know it helps and works but sometimes when we are feeling that bad just the thought of going out and just getting out the front door can feel like a task in itself.

Yes just the thought is bothersome! But it is an obstacle that I have to work on as well. Was diagnosed agoraphobic, which I didnā€™t even know was a thing. Got two miles in which with my knee and back is pretty good for me! And Murphyā€™s law is there everyday, just depends on how you look at the things as they are happening, unfortunately I let my guard down and let little things get to me but am winding down now. Thank you for asking and hope all is going well with you!

That was a good watch. 27 years in the SAS alone is impressive! There is another general that I met that is very inspiring as well, he is very blunt but check out General James ā€œ Chaosā€ Mattis. Was a four star general in the marine corps for an unreal amount of time. Great speaker and great leader. I did a quick search and found this but havenā€™t watched it yet.

Hoping you have a blast on vacation. Iā€™m about to celebrate my one year and my first sober birthday in over a decade besides when I was in a treatment center and am excited! Havenā€™t had a vacation besides a few camping trips but in the last there was always drinking and this time I actually got to enjoy the conversation and my company was enjoyed rather than wondering what dumb thing I was going to do that night. Take care and awesome job!

Il look him up after watching the video I can tell he could give an as you said blunt motivational speak, itā€™s what we need sometimes someone who wont sugar coat it and tell us.
It makes us think, get our minds ticking and brings a strength out in us.
