half of them are probably, you know, when I park in the parking garage at the Austin airport, take a photo of where I parked, you know, like 2K or 2E, the row and the floor to make sure that I can find my car when I get back.

It's like half the photos on my iPhone probably.

Exaggeration, but for real.

I was going back through all these photos in my iPhone and

Picture these big life milestones.

And I posted all these on Instagram in a carousel.

Came across a photo of me graduating Ranger School in 2014 and running my lifetime PR marathon at the 2023 California International Marathon, two hours and 39 minutes of running my first ultra marathon, Leadville 100, finishing the speed project,

The race from LA to Vegas, relay race that we did.

The last man standing race in Pineland Farms, Maine, 2023, where I was first introduced to the last man standing style.

Building BPN, being in the manufacturing facility.

There's a lot of life milestones reached and accomplished.

And when you go back through your iPhone photos,

you realize all the work that went into this stuff.

And you can almost re-celebrate some of these wins and victories that you experience.

But I've come to realize it's not what you have accomplished in your life that matters, but who you are becoming and have become along the way.

That's been on my mind a lot recently.

I don't want to live this life to just have a portfolio of all of my accomplishments, a resume of all of the things I've done, a LinkedIn profile to say where I've worked and how long and what positions I held and what we achieved within that organization during my time there.

That's not the intent.

The intent is

Who are you becoming?
