This year, I’ve completed 50+ camps at Burn Boot Camp, 100+ jiujitsu, wrestling, and MMA classes at with my kids, and attended 75+ church services and small group meetings at .church. Outside of those weekly commitments I’ve been able to enjoy so many experiences with my wife and kids like camp fires, board games, lunches, lake trips, and a whole lot more. I have to say this has been a truly good year.
For the first time in my adult life, I’ve been able to care for myself physically, mentally, and spiritually—and still feel like I have more to give to the people I love.
I’m so grateful for time spent with family, a workplace that values life outside of work, coworkers who push me to be better, a team that challenges me in the sport I love, and most of all, a church and community that have carried me through hard times and helped me build a stronger relationship with God.
If you have not already, I urge you to get yourself and your family involved. Involved in family activities, involved in some form of fitness community, involved in a church, involved in a small group, and most importantly get involved with God. It’s not about finding happiness, it’s about finding life, REAL LIFE.
