Good morning, everybody. Happy labor day. It's Luke wetland. Uh, look at this beautiful spot. Uh, here Kowalski. It's one of my favorites. Favorites and here's, uh, the big cadre van lake right there. Just over at, uh, Kowalski's getting my decaf cup of coffee prior to the. Day starting. Um, my wife and I made a pack that we she's an educator. And she's back. Rolling again. Tomorrow is two. So we're like, all right, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna go hard until like 11 30, 12. You get all your stuff done.
I'm gonna get all my stuff done, and then we're gonna enjoy the rest of the day with the family. How. Does it sound okay. Go break. So that's what we're doing. Um, first things first labor day. Uh, hope you're having a safe. Uh, great time with your family. Um, that's what this is all about. Uh, number two for all those employees out there, hope you're having the best time on your, this, this. Day off, uh, enjoying the time with your family, enjoying the time at home. Enjoying to eat veg out, relax, whatever it's gonna float your boat today.
Uh, do it, enjoy it. Uh, live it up. Love it up. So those are, those are good things. Those are good, good things to take in. Good things to do. Hold on one second. I gotta have a sip outta my. Decaf. I decaf coffee. I haven't had caffeine now for a while. And a couple. Times that I have in like the last call it two, three years. It is just absolutely taken stranglehold of me when I have, so yeah, I don't, it's just a. Good opportunity to recognize what works or doesn't work in your life. If I'm walking that much.
So there we go. That's when she's cut. Oh gosh, that's a good decaf. Um, alright, so 10 Xing your life? Uh, this is an interesting. Interesting concept, right? 10 X in your life. So if you growing and giving. Right. So growing and giving makes you feel alive, right? Uh, so speak wonder says decaf, but why. Um, so I have generalized anxiety disorder. And panic attacks. And so, um, if I use, uh, caffeine or anything like caffeine, like a stimulant S type of vibe. Like it really affects me. Uh, my sleep is a struggle.
Uh, I am feel jittery. It just doesn't feel good. So I just, I don't do it. And so once you start realizing like, if this helps or hurts me. Um, is it worth putting in my body? Like if it helps or hurt me, is it worth putting my body? And I find real quickly. Like this one hurts me. So can't do it. It is what it is. Um, alright, so moving on, growing and giving and feeling alive. Um, when you when you're growing, you feel alive when you're growing, when you're trying something new, when you. You're working on something unique when you're working on something that feels like you're making an impact and a differe.
Difference in the world you feel live, but wait for it. When you give. You feel 10 X alive when you're giving, when you're giving. Uh, fiscally when you're giving monetarily, when you're giving, uh, things, when you're giving. Whatever you just, you feel so much more alive. Like this is something. Of yours that you're contributing that you're doing and you're helping somebody else. So this is my. Challenge to everybody here. This is my challenge to everybody. Everybody here at the cadre sphere. My challenge too is to spend one hour this week.
Ready to spend one hour this week. Go into your closet and go through things you haven't worn in a while. Just go through things you haven't worn in a while and start setting off the side and saying like, all right, I'm gonna. Put this one off. I'm gonna put this one off, put this one off. Let's put this one off. And I, I encourage you to go donate those. Go go donate those. Go give those, give it to the Goodwill. Give these to these, uh, individuals in places. When you have, we have such an abundance of stuff.
And, and you just, you take all this abundance and you're like, you know, I'm just gonna, I'm going. Give to somebody else. That is my challenge for you, because what you're gonna find is it's just gonna make you feel really. Good. It's gonna make you feel really good if it's, if it, if you struggle to write a check for one. Hundred dollars to, to, to give to an association organization or otherwise. That's okay. Understand. 78% of like almost eight outta 10. Households right now are living paycheck to paycheck.
Totally get it. So what we do is maybe we give something else, maybe. Maybe we give of where we're at, where we have abundance. So if fiscally it. It's too hard. And I under, we all understand that let's try something else. Okay. Where can you give? Because when you give, give to others, it could be intellectually. It could. Be insightfully. It could be any of those things. You just find yourself like. At an epic level of feeling good about you? No, not just learning and sometimes that's, you know, really all we need in this life to get through a day.
So it's kind of like when, when you may be struggling and you give to somebody else, it's like, you struggle less. So, how can you find those moments in your life to feel 10 X alive? Okay. Obviously not using substances, not using drugs, not using alcohol. Not using those things, but using like, natural dopamines of life. You know, I always talk about, you know, the sound of cold plunge and that. That's, that's not what we're talking about here today, but I'm just saying like, that's where I find these opportunities for me.
To feel alive, really. Um, but here's another one and you know, the kids. And I, and you know, we went through all the, the clothes in the last call it two weeks preparing for. School and I'm like, you don't wear. You don't wear a lot of this. Like you don't wear any of it. Like let's, let's give it away. Let's give it to people that need it. Um, speak wonder says I am 10 Xing when I give my words away. See, like how good does that feel? How good does that feel for you when you are, when you're speaking those words and you're giving them.
Away and you encouraging those three others through poetry. How, how amazing does that make you feel at the end of the day? And I encourage all of us to find those moments. That are 10 Xing our life. Like I said, without substances without alcohol. Without highs and lows without manic behavior. Okay. That's my, that's my challenge to you all. Find your thing that you can, 10 X other people's lives. That you can give. Okay. Heavy, wonderful labor day. Uh, speak wonder says I'm going hiking on this fabulous day.
Oh my gosh. Enjoy it, live it up. Love it up. All right. You all take care. Thanks for joining in. I appreci.
