End of Year Post

You can just do things

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday, Merry Christmas.

I accept that it’s been a minute since I’ve posted - and a far cry from my original goal of posting 1x per week this years.

Rather than give an excuse, I’ll share what’s actually going on. The biggest lesson - you can just do things.

I had a a CPT that like to use the phrase “major emotional event” when I was an LT. That’s essentially what this year has been for me. But I like to think I’m not that emotional - rather this is a “major transitional event” for me. Arguably the most important period of my life to date. Only rivaled by my senior year of college prior to commissioning in the Army. This is a time that is defined by MAJOR uncertainty, the potential for life-shaping decisions, and real repercussions for not taking it seriously.

The past couple years I started writing down a few bullet points in December titled “what would make me most happy career/fitness/relationship wise 12 months from now”. It’s actually an incredible thing to look back a year ago and see what mattered to me, see if I actually did those things, and see what matters to me over the next 12 months.

It’s something I recommend all of you do now that we’re heading into the last 7 days of the year.

Regardless, this year has caused the largest amount of stress that I’ve ever experienced. It’s taught me that I largely remain calm through that, and no matter how much work I have to do, no matter how busy I am, I’m capable of maintaining peak physical conditioning (hence my latest 600 ACFT, strength, and running performance) through it all. It’s taught me that even with crushing stress we are able to continue to perform.

As a result I stepped back a bit from posting on AG and posting articles. BUT, that matters not to the continuation of AG. The follower count on instagram ebbs and flows. But that doesn’t really matter - because even in times where I’m forced to focus on other priorities, I still get messages of support and thanks for just doing my thing. I am working on a couple projects that I may share in the future - but these things have taught me you really can just do things - especially in industries previously thought to be severely gate-kept.

This isn’t much of a motivational post, just a reminder that AG is alive and well. I can’t think of a time in my life I’ve been MORE optimistic about the future, or a time where I get to work on things I care about as much as I do now, despite the amount of work I have going on right now.

The bottom line - enjoy this brief break from work, and even perhaps exercise. Enjoy your families, reinforce your relationships, and rest.

I don’t want to make bold promises about posting for Acid Gambit. But I do constantly check my DMs and support to the best of my ability. Additionally, the AG Studio App is absolutely crushing.

And I’m here for it. If you have any questions, about anything, feel free to DM me or email me. At the end of the day I’m here to support you and ensure you are successful regardless of your goals.

Merry Christmas ♥️

- Matt, AG
