I tried posting a video few days ago but just my text posted not the video itself. I want to talk about winning in the moment and reverse engineering our BIG goals backwards to starting with SMALL goals done daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.
Welcome cadre sphere. Uh, it's your boy, Alex. Um, haven't done a live in a while. I was trying to post a video the other day about winning in the moment. Or reverse. He engineering are a big goals. Backwards with small goals. So let's talk a little bit about that. Um, I scheduled my live for like eight, 15. I was trying to do it like right at seven 30, but I just wasn't. Wasn't close enough to that, uh, live window. So let's just do this. Um, I'm, I'm taking a social media detox off of my own. Social media just for the rest of the week.
Um, just cause I need it for the mental health. And because me and my wife are expecting. A baby boy in February. So. Very very amazing news. Um, but wanted to go back to talking about winning in the moment. And how important that is. Um, cuz moments are all that we have. And, um, I'm I, I, I used to think that all, like, if it's not a big goal, it doesn't mean anything. If I'm not hitting those big goals, but in order to hit the big goal, you have to win. The, at the small goals at the small things, first, the small things.
Snowball into that big goal, that big vision, that big dream. So I was trying to talk a little bit about, um, on my post. The other day, which it didn't, I don't know what happened with it. It didn't post. Um, I spoke about um, like my half marathon training that I'm doing right now. So I'm running a half marathon, October. 11th 2026 and I'm in week nine. Of 12 of my training. And I started very, very, very small, cuz I had taken eight months off running. I wasn't. Wasn't running regularly. I was doing high intense study interval training.
I was doing boxing, different cardio, right. Walking a lot. I've always lo walked a lot. With me and my wife and our dog gone on hikes, that kind of thing. Um, but uh, what gave me the push due to the half marathon is my friends like text me. He's like, Hey Alex, I'm thinking. About doing this half marathon, you wanna join me? I'm like gun. So sometimes. We gotta give ourselves a push. To do something that we've always wanted to do, or we gotta. You know, have a friend or family member be like, Hey, you wanna do this with me?
Huge huge. Motivator for me once when another friend or family member or someone. Colleague from work, they wanna do anything fitness related. I'm all in. Always all in. So as soon as he said that, I'm like, okay, I gotta start training. Um, but I broke down. You have to break down the big goal. Into smaller chunks. And when you break down the big goal into small chunks, chunks done every single day, week after week, month after month, quarter after. Quarter year after year. Then you look back uh, from the big goal and you're like, holy smokes.
I knocked it outta the park. Now whether you win or lose doesn't matter. Um, the process of hitting that big goal is what sets you up. Is what builds your character is? What's builds your discipline. Um, build your mental fortitude, mental resilience and all of these things you, you learn and you get better. At, by doing the thing. Um, so I just wanted to say, this is just one. Quick example, doesn't matter what you're doing. You could be training, you could be training for a. A marathon, a half marathon.
A body building meet. Uh, studying really intensely for an intense exam. Um, it doesn't matter. You can apply to every area of your life. You're trying to lose weight. Um, if you're trying to be more mindful, um, and it's just so powerful. When we reverse engineer our big goals. And make them small think big. But start small. And it makes the world of a difference. So. Hopefully guys all enjoyed this live again. I'm still getting back into the lives. Um, since the, the app has done a lot of, um, changes.
So I'm not sure if anyone's tuned in or. Not, I can't tell. Um, but, and I, hopefully this is gone. This has. Gone live. Um, but I just wanted to make sure that, um, yeah, I'm back getting back into doing the lives. Every time I have an idea, I'll roll with it and I'll post it. Um, because people need to hear it. People ha are going through all sorts of different challenges and, uh, and I've gone through a lot. Of these challenges myself that you guys are going through. So. Anytime I'm I've overcome a challenge or an obstacle.
Challenger and obstacle. I like, I wanna share, I wanna give you guys some insight, so appreciate your time. T G I F it's Friday. And hopefully guys gain some value from this, uh, ride. All right. Again, winning in the moment.
