Circle of Trust
Today’s COT was taken from the “Atomic Habits” book about breaking through the Plateau of Latent Potential. It was all about how your hard work everyday is necessary for you to break through this Plateau. The author uses the example of complaining that you haven’t reached success when trying to melt an ice cube despite working hard to raise the tempurature from 25-31 degrees, your work was not wasted it is just being stored and all the action will happen at 32 degrees. Don’t let the lack of “results” discourage you from working hard or making new good habits, you are storing a lot of good latent potential and you will break through that Plataue if you keep at it! Have a blessed day men.

Today is the day before my birthday and I was blessed to have my 2.0 join us in the gloom for the first time. He kicked ass and made this old guy proud. I appreciate @Squidward for having my 6, and all the men that came out to “Celebrate” my birthday with some hard work that definitely stored some latent potential for everyone!
