'The Obstacle Is The Way' Book Sketch by Sacha Chua
I had a horrific night of sleep. I was up around 1 AM and stared at the ceiling until 3 AM until I said F--K it, time to get out of bed and do Work.
I was exhausted after dropping my kids off at school and started coming up with EVERY excuse in the book to NOT train today.
- I'll train tomorrow
- Training when tired is bad
- This workout will be wasted if I train today
- Take a nap instead
I decided to use my fatigue as a reason to DO rather than excuse.
I explain the how and why in this video:

Similar situation. My snow crews can’t make a decision to save their own lives, so instead they call me and I’ve been up since 2 AM. Supposed to be at the gym at 530. Debated on sleeping. Gym won and because of that I am closer to my goal of 1000 lbs combine for my 50th birthday in one month. Let the gym win every time, you will always be happier with yourself.

Every one has a problem. They underestimate me and I keep proving them wrong.
We have nothing to prove except to ourselves!
The obstacle is the way.. Amazing book and a call to action..
The impediment to action, advances the action, what stands in the way becomes the way… -Marcus Aurelius
It is our perception of the obstacle that tells us the kind of men that we are.. Do we see the obstacle as a roadblock, stoppining us in our tracks on the path of life that we have chosen.. Or do we see it as a gift, a challenge, an opportunity.. put before us to shape us, guide us, and to help us grow stronger..
-Morgan
Truth! And, as humans, we quickly become comfortable…. even myself, so I am very, very careful if I catch myself slipping with excuses or taking the easy road.
