The great Aristotle once said “Those who live in glass houses spend much money on windex.”

I’ll never forget that. Nor should you.

I’m not sure the Hokey Pokey is in fact, what it’s all about…but I could be wrong.

Listen, everyone hops on social media every Monday looking for “Monday Motivation” posts.

So here goes nothing…

You may not have always been the best person. There could have been any times you have been wrong in life. There could have been many times where you were an as***le. There could have been many times where you coulda, woulda and shoulda…but didn’t.

We get one shot at life. We will screw up from time to time. Don’t allow the mess ups to define you. You may not be able to take back things you have said or done but you can definitely change for the better. You always have room for growth.

Stay Humble. Be a good person. Apologize to those you’ve hurt. You never know the positive chain reaction that can set off.

Or don’t.

Choice is always yours.

If all else fails, here’s a picture of me flexing in 2018 at Summer Smash.

Two more weeks until I’m down in Florida looking at this sunset. Sunsets are breath taking.

My dad has been going to Florida for the winters for like the last 6 years I think. I’ve said every year I would come down and never have. I’m finally going this year.

I’m excited because outside of going down to St Louis for Summer Smash or some sort of bachelor party trip, I don’t go on vacations without Anthony.

Some dudes being dudes here. I love this picture. It has a lot of meaning behind it.

This picture is taken at the ground breaking ceremony for the new 1st Phorm HQ in 2019. It was a really big deal for me and many others.

For a lot of us it was sort of a bitter sweet moment because it would be the last Summer Smash at the old HQ. Where I had been a handful of times and made a lot of great memories at. It was also special to be part of something like this. To be there for the ground breaking.

The plan was for us to be there the following year in 2020 to see it but some dumb occurrence kept us away in 2020.

From standing there with an empty lot with some dirt to finally seeing the new HQ in 2021 it was certainly worth the wait. Not only it the attention to detail ridiculous, but as I walked through the halls and see pictures that I’m actually in up on the walls just made it even more special to me.

For those on the outside I know it might not mean as much, but to me it means everything. HQ is super fancy, auditorium, full gym, basketball courts, barbershop, cafeteria and more…and my favorite part is the Phamily photo on the wall from 2019s Summer Smash.

I love being part of this. I love what it means. I love the feeling it brings myself and others.

The people make the party. Always remember that.

One of my favorite Robin Williams movies is Patch Adams. Robin Williams in general was one of my favorite actors/comedians of all time. Not only did I love his goofy and witty style, I also like how he openly talked about mental health and his struggles. I also related very much to him hiding his feeling behind laughter.

I’ve always aspired to be the Patch Adams in the fitness industry. Do I know a lot about fitness and nutrition and etc? Yes I do. Do I love to make others laugh? Yes I do. I noticed so often that the two weren’t often mixed. People were always so serious in the gym and most of the time looked miserable.

I always thought why can’t you goof around and laugh and get in great shape? Well you can, why people don’t is beyond me.

The resting serious face in the gym is boring. I mean whatever works for you but I’d prefer to bring a happier and more smiling atmosphere to the gym.

I always try to make others laugh, it’s literally one of my favorite things to do. I’ve been called really witty and the things I come up with on the fly often lead to a lot of laughter and good times. I enjoy bringing that to the gym setting too. Show up to the gym wearing a chicken suit, crack some jokes between sets, make someone spit their water out. Why the f**k not?

It doesn’t have to be so f**king serious all the time. I’m going to be who I am inside and out. I’m almost all situations. Laughter is medicine.

Maybe if people laughed a little more they would be less stressed about everything. Especially in the gym, stress can slow your gains, so f**king laugh, be goofy.

Mean mugging just makes you look like an as***le in the gym. Ain’t no one got time for that. More laughter might lead to more comfort for people who are weary of joining gyms.

Anyway, laugh more. Okay, have a good Wednesday. Bye Pumpkin 😘.
