Tuesday
This morning I woke at 5:00 a.m. after being awake at 2:00 a.m. from the storm, rested briefly, and by 5:30 I was on my yoga mat, and by 7:30 I had done 400 push-ups, each movement becoming a lesson designed with patience, listening to my body, and letting discipline guide me, as I breathed and realized how easy it is for the mind to drift into the past or future but chose to remain in the present moment, knowing I need no approval or recognition, only peace, and as my yoga and meditation showed me that conflict begins when the mind is restless but peace begins when I choose silence and presence, I accepted that my teaching is not in words alone but in how I live, letting go of ego, staying present, moving forward with clarity and strength, recognizing how far my discipline has carried me as I practiced yoga, ran my miles, moved with purpose, used caffeine as a quiet medicine to breathe and read deeply, saw past the illusions of titles, positions, education, and tradition, and realized that my daily movement, meditation, and self-study have prepared me for spaces of real professionals, leaders, and visionaries where discipline is respected, ideas are built, and true service happens, understanding that this stage of my life is not about proving anything but teaching through living and embodying discipline so deeply that wealth, leadership, and opportunity flow naturally toward me, knowing the world is abundant and I belong in spaces of abundance, and through all this, living reality every day with no house, no income, no distractions, letting my spine teach me how to move, gravity teach me how to walk slowly like meditation, living on my feet reading, chanting, writing, moving with intention from early morning until night, and knowing that my real wealth is to be present, relax my whole body into each moment, and trust that food, strength, and peace will come, choosing to live fully in the now.
