DRUM EMPOWERMENT!
We have our habits. We have our practices. We have the way we like to do things, the things we like to eat, and the way we like to get to work.
It’s comfortable. It’s dreadfully boring. And it makes us lazy and fragile.
General Sherman, the legendary Civil War strategist, once explained that he lived by an "old rule never to return by the road I had come." He didn’t want to retrace his steps. He wanted to blaze new trails, cover new territory, and challenge himself.
This philosophy isn't just military wisdom—it's a blueprint for personal transformation.
Marcus Aurelius, Emperor of Rome (161 -180 AD), writes about holding his chariot reins with his weaker hand, not just as an exercise but as a metaphor for embracing discomfort and doing things in a new way. He recognized that true strength comes from developing ourselves in all directions, not just where we're already capable.
This is not always easy … but neither is life!
Yes, the unfamiliar path is harder. Yes, it requires more effort. But as any athlete will tell you, growth happens because of resistance. Iron sharpens iron. Comfort is the enemy. Each challenge makes you stronger.
What would you give for the key to unshackle you from the fear and laziness holding you back? How would it feel to not just retrace your steps down the same old road this year but to instead blaze a new path where you’re making satisfying progress toward becoming the person you know you can be?
Don't let another season pass by while staying in your comfort zone.
The unfamiliar road awaits. Will you take it?
