Monday Motivation

Good morning. Everybody at Cadre had a wonderful weekend. For some of you that don't know, I'm preparing for a massive run here. In 26 days. 6 miles. It's going to be amazing. So right now I'm just stacking miles and miles and miles and miles, right. Whether it's day to day to day, whether it's over the weekend, where I go big and just do like a 13 and a 13 or go 13 and a 513 and a five. I'm just stacking, stacking, stacking miles, which feels amazing. But so it's May. So if you haven't seen the Cadre commitments, the Cadre commitments have dropped.

So if you look at Wecadre on our instagram site or any of our social media, take a peek when you get a chance. These commitments this, this month are amazing. You're going to love them. They're such good commitments. They're just those tiny, bite sized goals that, you know, get your frame right, get your mind right, your frame right for, you know, how you want to proceed, and maybe push yourself a little bit, you know, in the month of May. So have on it. I think it's going to be spectacular there.

But what I, my message today is, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, did I have life wrong. Boy, did I have life wrong. I thought life, you know, growing up and, you know, it's called through my twenties and thirties, was this, you know, materialistic vibe of life, right? Maybe it's, you know, who had the new boat, the new snowmobile, the new home, the second house here, maybe, you know, how big somebody's ring was, the gold chains. Right. The car you drove right there. I remember there was an individual grew up in a small town in Hutchinson, and, you know, somebody had a Bentley.

And I just remember seeing the Bentley for the first time, and I was, like, just over the moon on, you know, the materialistic nature of things, things in general, right? Maybe it's how many, even tennis rackets I had, you know, but everything was materially based, you know, in my life. And I would, I would view on things from that material arm and that material lens as success. And what I found over the course of my life is, you know, success is not a house. Success is not a boat. Success isn't any of those things, in my humble opinion.

Success is self love. Success is confidence. Success is, you know, putting a post out and not caring what anybody says, you know, that's success. Success is living really comfortable in your own skin. Success is taking care of your body. Success is discipline and making sure that you stay disciplined. Success is consistency and being consistent year over year, month over month, day over day. In my humble opinion, I found that as success. And also I think the biggest part of success is understanding that it might take a week, it might take a month, it might take years to reach some of those goals.

And the success itself, the success itself is not the end point. It's not. It's not that end point. The success itself is the journey. The success is going through that. The success is the hard times. The success is digging down when you don't feel like doing it. The success is getting up on a Saturday, Monday morning, Saturday morning, going for that big run, that big hike, that big run, you know, and pushing yourself outside. To me, that's success. Other things of success is, you know, how you treat other people.

You know, success is living in your values, right? So when I take a step back and I look at what success used to mean to me versus what it does mean to me now, I'm really proud of the transition and the shift that I've taken as a human being, right? And I am. I'm really excited about my future understanding now that, you know, at 2025 years old and I saw somebody with a Rolex watch, I thought they were successful. Truly. I'm just being honest and I'm calling a spade a spade, right? If I was 20 to 25, h***, even 30 years old, I'd be like, oh, my gosh, they're successful.

They must be doing something right. And at the end of the day, if they're confident, if they're self assured, if they know their identity, if they understand how to help others, then I think you have reached that success. So my message today is this. My message today is this, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, did I have success wrong. I had success majorly wrong. And I'm glad that I've went through the journey to understand what success actually is today. The biggest success for me, if I'm calling it a spade a spade, is how much time I get to spend with my family, right?

That's my barometer of success, that I can control my own time and what I do with that time and who I share with that time. And just know that ultimately, at the end of the day, my time is my greatest success. So I hope you all realize that the material stuff over on this side is a marketing play in life, and marketers are making hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars off of people's feelings. About success and how they feel, maybe how they wear things, touch things, feel things. All the stuff over here.

And the reality is what you should be focused on is over here. Do you know much? Do you know how much this costs? It's free. It's, it's absolutely free. Making, making yourself feel good and taking the direction over here, it's going to take a lot of energy. It's going to take a lot of time. It's going to take a lot of commitment to yourself. But to get to know what's in your heart, to know what's in your head, know what's in your mind, your soul, your body, what fuels you, that's the real winner of life.

Have an amazing day. Have an amazing week. Let's crush may together. I look forward to all of our communications on the app. I look forward to all the communications of the lives. I'm a biggest, biggest fanboy like everybody else, so I can't wait to see everybody go. And I look forward to their messages throughout the week. I do have to wear. I was up visiting my father in law in the nursing home and he's a very, very proud iron ranger. And so anytime I'm up there, I got my range hat on so I can live it.

Like, I can feel it for a day. But just remember that. Remember what you think about when you think about success and seeing people that you believe are successful versus maybe they are really, really, actually hurting inside. So take care of you all. Have an amazing, amazing may. Hope this starts off your Monday. Well,
