Monday Motivation-Small Steps Vs Big Leaps

Well, happy Monday, Cadre crew. I am absolutely on fire today. I had an incredible weekend. I hope you did too. I'm riding high coming into Monday. I hope you are as well. But today we're going to start off and we're going to find your reason inside today. I promise you that right now to make some changes. I promise you. Give me 1 second. I just have to have this little sip of coffee. It's only decaf, but I'm telling you, I'm lighting it up today. Gosh, that's so good. Absolutely incredible. I think one of the highlights of my weekend was taking some of those songs from Risa on her Friday live and incorporating them into my workout schedule over the weekend.

It was just gun. I was just guns blazing. I was like, audra day. Get off me. Let's go. It was just absolutely amazing. But I'm going to take you to a time in your life that I guarantee you could picture in your memory bank right now. Okay? You're 16 years old. Mom, dad, whoever, however you were raised, right, maybe it's grandparents, you know, maybe it's stepfather, Stepdad, right? But you're 16 years old. Okay. Good morning, junk food junkie. Good morning, Nick. Good morning, Chris. You're 16 years old and you get the opportunity to go to a dealership and buy whatever vehicle you want.

You can pick whatever vehicle you want out, right? Any vehicle. Good morning, Amy. So you're off to pick out that vehicle, right? Let's go. Let's call it dad. Mom. Okay, you're 16 years old and maybe you want the sprinter van. Maybe you want a Chevy truck, maybe you wanted a Denali, maybe you want a BMW, whatever it is. But you're off to go get this one vehicle. You're 16 years old. Here you are yourself, let's just call it mom and dad. And you're heading into the dealership, and you walk into the dealership and you see the car of your dreams.

Beautiful color, all the things, right? You walk in, you're ready to go. Mom and dad said, it's yours. And then there's one caveat. There's one caveat that that's the vehicle, the one and only vehicle you can have for the rest of your life. Let me say that again. So you get it. You get to pick out that GMC truck. You get to pick out that sprinter van that you've always. That you dreamed of at 16 years old. But that's the one vehicle that you can have for the duration of your life. Okay? Think about that.

Just like your body. You have, you have one body, you have one mind, you have one heart, you have one set of lungs, your legs, your limbs, all the things, 200 some odd bones. But this is your one vehicle. This is your one vehicle, your God given gift that you have for the duration of your life. How I'm sure, you know, at 16 years old and learning about the car of your dreams, that, you know, you're probably going to make sure you get the right gas in, that you get the oil changes, that you get your maintenance done, the tires probably going to be a little cautious about maybe where you even drive it, how long the mileage, all those different things, right?

But for some strange reason unknown to man, we have this same analogous in our lives. We have one vehicle, we have one body. And I'm not saying that you can't go a time of your life and determine that restoration is best, right? Maybe we abused our vehicle for a little bit. Maybe we put in the wrong oil, maybe we didn't fill up the gas. Maybe we even had pebbles in our gol darn gasoline. Maybe we went miles and miles and miles over without giving an oil change to our body. But I'm telling you, that's going to change today.

If you're listening to this, that's going to change today. You have this one opportunity, you have this one chance with this one body that you have. Whether it's what comes and consumes into your mind, whether it's where you take your feet, whether it's where you push your eyes, whether it's, whether you ingest in your body. Think about your life in the one dream vehicle that you have. And that is the exact same thing for your body. And I'm going to tell you, you're going to treat yourself with a lot more grace, dignity, humility, generosity, compassion.

You're going to love yourself in a different way. You're going to give yourself different self discipline. Look, I wasn't always this good to my body. I call myself the restoration project, right. My dream and was probably a Chevy s ten when I was 16 years old because that's what I ended up getting this little 3000, $4,000 truck, right. But that was my dream vehicle. But I've had to completely rebuild my Chevy s ten three, 5710 years ago. But I'm really proud that my Chevy s ten is in the best shape it's ever been.

And I'm just about to turn 42 years old. And I'm telling you, if you believe in your heart that you can treat your body, your mind, your soul, your heart as your one vehicle and the only gratitude for the one vehicle that you're ever going to get for the rest of your life, which is the truth. You're going to make some different changes. I encourage you to think about your dream vehicle. I encourage you to think about how you're going to make changes today and make some drastic changes. Right? Like you wouldn't put diesel in a you wouldn't put diesel in an unleaded vehicle.

Maybe you, maybe you're going to give up fried food altogether. That doesn't do your body any good. Maybe you give up smoking. Maybe you're going to give up alcohol. Maybe you're going to get some miles on your body, right? Maybe you're going to get some miles on in the right way. Maybe you're going to go swimming, whatever it is. But I would just really, really encourage you to take a step back and think about that. You are the dream. You are living it. You are the dream. To just be here is a dream.

How are you going to affect as many people with as long term change, but most importantly, yourself and treat yourself with that self discipline and respect. So that's my message to you today. You have one vehicle. You have one vehicle in this life. Get some great tunes going on in there. Great some. Get some amazing tunes going on in that vehicle. By the way, I got a classic one for you. When you're off and you're, and you get this concept hits your brain and it hits your mind and it hits your soul and you realize that this is the one chance that you have on this planet to keep going and going and going and going.

Your one vehicle. Let the good times roll. Play that one. Have an amazing day, you guys. I hope that resonates with you. Make some changes. One car.
