Circle of Trust
Today marks 40 years since Back to the Future hit theaters. And while that movie was about literally revisiting the past to change the future, outside of Hollywood IRL, we don’t get that luxury.
We can’t go back and fix the things we wish we’d done differently — the missed workouts, the careless words, the moments where we fell short as husbands, fathers, friends, business owners, leaders. But we can choose what we carry forward.
The past is a great teacher, but a terrible residence. If you’re constantly replaying your failures or wishing things had been different, you’re driving forward while staring in the rearview mirror — fatal.
But if you mine your past for wisdom — if you ask, “What did I learn?” and “How can I grow from this?” — then your past becomes a foundation, not a prison.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.” – Isaiah 43:18–19
So today, don’t try to erase your past. Let it refine you. Let it shape your next step, your next rep, your next decision.
You don’t need 1.21 gigawatts to build a better future — you just need to be fully present today, and willing to accelerate.
LFG!!

Appreciate all the PAX that showed up and pushed themselves and those around them. This is an exceptional group of men. Glad that everyone was a good sport about the disruption / surprise coupons. On to the next!
