ANNOUNCEMENTS: 0700 workout on Monday (New Years Day) and 0530 workout on Wednesday COT: We named an FNG Weezer and then YHC shared the following thought:
Be open to the truth that healthy individuals feel pain and use it to become stronger. Strong people feel pain, strong people use pain, strong people feel all of that emotion. Strong people are not stronger than their pain. Strong people are really intimate with their pain.

Pain is so beautiful. Pain is what makes us strong. Pain is what makes us human. So many of us think that what we want in life is just to be happy. I really wonder if that’s true. I wonder if we just want to be happy. Or I wonder if we just want to be human.

I don’t want to just be happy. I want to be sad when it’s time to be sad. I want to go through grief and inner turmoil to figure out my values, to figure out what I really believe in. I want to feel discipline and resistance, those are not happy emotions. Discipline and resistance are kind of painful, but that’s what you need to feel in order to do hard, great things.

COT:
This week I learned to do juggling in a matter of 3 days. I have always wanted to learn to do this since I was a child but never made it a priority and 30 years passed without me learning. This Christmas my 2.0 gave me a little pamphlet with some juggling training instructions and three balls. I never realized that’s all I needed to check this off my bucket list: 1) make it a priority (it’s on my bucket list, but now I also don’t want to let my daughter down) 2) find the right resources (the little pamphlet was magic!) 3) put it in practice (It was rough in the beginning, but I saw progress the more I practiced). This little life-event has brought me immense self-confidence, a potential new hobby and has brought me closer to my daughter. Now I want to find more places in my life where I can apply the same process to continue improving myself!
