Title: Date night - When? How? Family, kids, travel, work, working out, covid - WHEN??

Here’s the story:

Went to crossfit with my queen. With mom and dad in town we had a chance to push some weight and get our hearts pumping. The wod 1:30 min bike followed by squat cleans - back and forth doing one each till we both hit 5 and then back to the bike. 5 rounds adding weight. Seeing my queen push, grind, hustle right in front of me .... proud, inspired, motivated .... turned on by the beauty of her ... in motion.

The truth is setting us free!!!
We fight we grind we hustle in life - at times we do battle, we collide and its powerful as we are able to come from those challenges with a greater sense of awareness and respect for each other. At time we fight, we collide, we do battle as King and queen against the chaos and world outside of us with great desire to stand for our own way of life. That same fight is the fight I saw as we worked out. What a way to be in it together... to see us doing our best and pushing the envelope of life. To walk away thinking.... what just happened, we succeeded, we failed, we encouraged - we fist bumped and went home listening to our favorite music elevated in our stand together in all we believe and most importantly in who we are becoming. Unlike a night out drinking we pushed reality in a different way and while we were sore the next day we were not slow and faded - we were powerful, inspired - motivated to take on the day with a bit of love, pain and earned faith. One of my greatest desires is to find a way to do this weekly - once we get it dialed in add a lunch date or movie once a week.

Simple lesson:
Enjoy what you enjoy and at times do it together. We enjoy crossfit, we enjoy playing cards, we enjoy amazing food ( carne asada ) we enjoy good sleep - when all of those are on point we are living within a world only we could create,

FINAL INSIGHTS or REVELATIONS that you’re leaving this with?
How we embrace this journey is up to us. Maybe its a date with drinking, dancing ...maybe its crossfit and a partner wod..maybe its a cup of coffee, lunch, a movie, a hike - its our life, its your life - choose the path.

My question for you:
What can you do with your significant other once a week that may not be the wild and crazy date night but will be a time for you both to enjoy and wake up feeling like the King and Queen of your castle.

Here’s to and your good life - on your terms in a way that works for you. Branden MacKenzie

Oh by the way.... do you want more clarity, more certainty, more ability to be present with presence?

Join the Wake Up Warrior Challenge I recently experienced personally - 30 days of power presence earned in the work you will do. This challenge has giving me the ability to pivot, to learn, grow - gain clarity I could only earn within this process.

I believe its not the destination - its about the journey and the man we are becoming on a day to day bases. https://wakeupwarrior.com/challenge?ref=brandenmackenzie&utm_source=brandenmackenzie
