“No man is free who is not master of himself.” — Epictetus
The gym builds character.
When you train, you’re not just lifting weights. You’re lifting your standards. Every rep is a reminder that discipline beats motivation. The body follows the mind, & consistency forges freedom. 💫

Appreciating the 60-degree weather.
‘Peace is not the absence of emotion, but the presence of reason.’
Every rep you do in silence, every workout you finish when no one’s watching. That’s discipline turning chaos into calm.
Consistency isn’t punishment; it's the path to peace. 🪄🔥

‘The more you struggle to live by reason, the more free you become.’
The workout, meal plan, and routine are not about perfection.
They’re proof you chose action over excuses.
Use what you’ve got. Work with what’s real. That’s power. 🔥🪄

You’re not fighting time; you’re mastering it by staying here.

A small sample of an amazing trip with my wife to Lisboa, Portugal.
The city is fantastic, with an incredible history and great energy. Knowing that its democracy is fairly young is a pretty telling feat!
I am so beyond grateful for this trip.
