I’ve always had a love–hate relationship with my body.
I LOVE to move. But I get bored fast. The best exercise for me is sports—because competition keeps my mind sharp.
Then there are seasons where I slow down. Get stuck. Move less and less.
And then—boom—I’m on fire again: kettlebells, punching bag, 26-mile bike rides.
Until injury hits. Or boredom. Or the grind feels empty. And I fall off.
People say, “You just lack discipline.”
And maybe they’re right. Except I can be extremely disciplined when it’s something I love.
So maybe the trick isn’t forcing discipline.
Maybe it’s finding the spark.
The movement that keeps my mind engaged. The game. The competition. The fuel.
When I find that spark, I light up.
When I was younger, our family played football every Sunday at the Wasatch High field. I never felt better.
Five years ago, after a family tragedy, I burned through rage and grief by training four hours a day. That might have been the best shape of my life.
And then… injuries. An MCL tear. A lost tendon. Surgeries. Momentum stolen.
Now I’m finding my way back. Not through grind alone, but through curiosity, competition, anger, joy, rage, delight—whatever lights the fire.
Maybe that’s the real secret.
Discipline matters. But spark comes first.
🔥 This is Modern Day Warrior Week. Body is a huge part of incarnating fully here in this world. But it can be overdone too. The dance is balance—curiosity, fire, then discipline.
Friday night at 6:00PM in Heber we begin. Men sharpening men, forging strength in the body, the mind, and the soul.
