MY MIND IS MY FRIEND
Guessing
Why are keeping stats important? Objectivity. It’s one thing to think intuitively about how you are doing. It’s another to get your eyes opened about how well you are doing or to get your eyes opened on how not well you are doing. Guessing does not lead to predictable...
Poise
What does poise mean? To have poise? To be poised? It means you know you are prepared. It means you know that this day, this moment is when you show up to execute. That the work you did behind the scenes for so long is here to show out. You stand a little straighter....
Championships
How do you celebrate? Maybe it's a trip. Maybe it's a night out with friends. To reward oneself is to disrupt the pattern. Interrupt the routine, give the systems a break that got you to where you are. It’s time to refuel the steam boat. And to acknowledge how long...

Passengers
The word passenger has two definitions in my mind. Those who are about to board an airplane. And those whose body’s and systems run rampant and chaotic, resulting in chronic disease. Those people are passengers because they cannot go do or experience what they want to...
Improvement
Thinking you are really good at something does not mean you really are. And being good at something is relative. Because your surroundings are always changing. And so you adapt. Improvement is the core principle of The Empty Mile. It’s not a comparison game to anyone...
The Game
Winning streaks. When a sports team starts winning more than they lose, they feel good, confident. When sports teams start winning some games in a row, they start feeling like they’re getting a rhythm and starting to gel together. Winning streaks though? That’s when...
