Thank you for reading. My "non-negotiables" are 1) daily Bible Reading 2) Read 10 pages in a book 3) Tell my wife I love her 4) move for 30 minutes (workout of some kind)

Daily prayers. Kiss wife good morning and tell her I love you.

I'll add more because of this article. Many thanks.

Given the topics you usually cover, I began reading and thinking of "non-negotiables" as moral values and the hills I'm willing to die on as a LEO. Where you went instead, I can see some chinks in my armor and the daily habits I need to develop more. It's easy to get caught up in the busyness of life and push things aside, especially if those things are not deemed a priority. Thank you for the "Gibb's slap" on this!

1) Daily Bible reading and prayer

2) Keep the romance going with my wife

3) Model the character I want my kids to have

4) Stay physically fit for the job and my future

5) Keep my use of force skills sharp and second nature

I forsee some other things being added to this or changing as life changes. Again, thank you!
