8 Steps on How To Look Back At Your Life And Say, ‘Holy Crap! I kicked ass!’

(thread)
1. List 4 things you ABSOLUTELY have to do before you die. It doesn’t have to be extreme. Jump out of an airplane? Kayak down the Colorado River? Get a tattoo?
2. If you could do only one, which would it be? Personally, I’d go big. I’d go with the one that scares the crap out of me. Base jumping / swim with sharks = Pretty damn scary.
3. Put it on the calendar. Don’t think too much about it. Do you want to live an epic life or not? When I jumped out of an airplane, I didn’t think of the actual jump until I was falling 120 miles an hour.
4. Work out the basic details. Who are you going with? A group of friends? Your dad? Alone? How much will it cost? Iron the rest of that shit out later. I PROMISE you, the rest will work itself out.
5. Put some real money down, preferably non-refundable. Quit jacking around. Put your money where your mouth is. If it doesn’t cost anything, tell someone you’ll pay them $500 if you don’t do it.
6. Make sure your life insurance is current. Now’s a good time to make sure it’s up to date. ALSO, if you don’t have a will, write one out and get it notarized.
7. Jump! This is your first step towards living the hell out of your life. This is the fun part. This is where your heart races. Soak it in. *** Warning – Adventure is ADDICTING.
8. As soon as it’s over, review your list. You’re probably still high. Your heart is still racing. Add to your list or maybe completely rewrite it. And then go directly to step 2.

If I die unexpectedly...

An open letter to my 9 kids (no, that's not a typo—but we cheated and adopted 5.)

"We live a fairly crazy life and we live in a fairly crazy country.

When I die, I want you to know..."

// a thread 🧵 Image
I love you.

I always have.
I would do anything for you.
I would gladly give you my heart.
Elizabeth Stone said it best,

“Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ”

I'm 58 years old. Men seem different today. Soft.

Today, everything changes for you.

Today, it's time to be a man.

Do not complicate it.

Try this for 10 days: Image
1. Get to the gym and lift. No gym? 100 pushups and 100 air squats. 10k steps. Do a little more every day.
2. Open your Bible and read a chapter. Not sure where to start? Send me a DM. I'll help you get started.

The American Dream v. The Gospel Truth

The American Dream:

Work hard and get good grades in High School.

Get into a good college.

Graduate and get a good job.

Get married.

Have 1.9 kids and a dog.
Go on one or two vacations a year.

Retire at 65 and travel.

That’s not a bad dream.

But here’s the thing...
If you get ALL THAT RIGHT but don't have Jesus…

You wouldn’t have anything at all.

"For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?"
— Mark 8:36

Today my wife and I have been married 26 years.

We’ve lived half those years in Guatemala as full-time missionaries.

Our marriage is amazing. AMAZING.

But it wasn't always that way. Image
The first 7 years were brutal.
The first year was the worst.
By year 7, we’d both given up.
I thought, “I’m over it. I’m tired of fighting. I’m tired of her.”

By then, we had 4 kids, so I decided to stay married but live my own life.

I completely disconnected.

I'm 57 years old. This is the advice I'd give my younger self to radically change my life.

(This is also the advice you probably don't want but need to hear.) Image
• Don't date until you're ready to get married.

There's no hurry.
Work on yourself.
You have a lot of maturing to do.
It will take a ton of pressure off that you don't need.
• Don't have sex before marriage.

Consider what God has to say about it:

Genesis 2:24
Hebrews 13:4
Ephesians 5:31

"But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband." 1 Corinthians 7:2

Did you know???

An average lifespan is about 30,000 days.

The first day at your first job is one of them...
Your graduation is one of them...
The day you met your first best friend was one of them...
Your wedding day is one of them...
And over time, those days are sewn together to create... our lives.

How many big moments do you have a year?

Like, BIG moments that you remember. Two? Maybe three?

If you live until you’re 85. That’s 255 big moments. Ever.
30,000 days on the earth and 255 big moments.

If you’re only celebrating the big moments of your life, you’re missing out.

Most of your life is made up of mostly the ‘unremarkable.’

So what’s the lesson?

Learn
to
Love
the
Unremarkable
Moments

This is something I'm working on
