Caution: Long post ahead. You likely have seen on my Facebook page some references to Spartan Races and have read about some of my plans for the coming year. I even attended a training program designed to equip me as a Spartan SGX group trainer. Last night, I was preparing for the Spartan SGX exam. I read about the Spartan Code which is like the rules a Spartan warrior would live by. Also, as most of you know, I am an addict in recovery. As a recovering addict, I know all too well the dangers of making promises that contain the words never or always or forever. Instead, I like to focus my promises to myself and others on just for today. So it makes sense to me to combine the Spartan Code and my just for today promises to come up with my personal code to live by and to hold myself to the highest standards possible. Sort of like a New Years Resolution but just for today. Hopefully tomorrow I will be given another day so that I repeat the practice. Here it goes: 1) Just for today, I will push my mind and body to its limits 2) Just for today, I will master my emotions 3) Just for today, I will learn continuously 4) Just for today, I will give generously 5) Just for today, I will lead fearlessly 6) Just for today, I will stand up for my beliefs, no matter the cost 7) Just for today, I will know my flaws and strengths 8) Just for today, I will prove myself through my actions 9) Just for today, I will shine light where there is darkness. Happy New Year everyone. Heres to a great 2015!
