Prioritize working on the body and mind

" I pretend everyday is BUD/s" -David Goggins I can't remember exactly what article or video I was watching when I came across this phrase by David Goggins.  I don't think it's one of his famous quotes; I haven't looked into it.  But this is a phrase that hit me because a short time before coming across this, I started writing on this blog, The main idea and theme was the same as the quote.   After I left the CCT, I continued to live like I was in some sort of special ops training program, just like I did before I joined the Air Force.  I continued to swim, run and do some sort of weight or calisthenic program.  Although I drifted occasionally from it, I always returned and stayed consistent.

When you're on your way to work and get a flat tire.  When all three of your kids are sick, you just worked all day, and your wife had plans to go out, so no free time for you?  I'm going off a bit,
