 I'm a big fan of starting strength, the book, the program, the company, that's how I lift it, change the way I lift. One of the things that I think is the dumbest thing they ever say is that strength, physical strength is the most important thing in life. Hey everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and I want to talk about priorities. I follow a couple of different lifting channels, right? And there's one guy that I follow who's very good. I enjoy his content a lot. I saw something the other day from him that was like, if you're strong and you're overweight, don't just say you're strong, right? You're using that as an excuse and you need to do more conditioning and you need to get 10,000 steps a day in addition to your lifting, in addition to your conditioning workouts during the week. And I remember seeing that and just thinking like, yeah, that's not going to happen. Like, I work a desk job, I have children, I have a wife, I barely have time to get my lifts in as it is, right? I'm not going to be able to get 10,000 steps a day. You, sir, and he is, are obviously without children and newly married, which is, you know, hey, great. And it's a shtick, right? I mean, that's his deal, is to be a workout guy. And so of course, that's the content he's going to put out. And I was thinking about that. And I was thinking about that in regards to my own content and gun tube in general. And I obviously like shooting, I like learning about shooting, I like taking and teaching classes. That's all a lot of fun. And I think it's important, I think it's an important life skill. Knowing how to operate a gun is an adult life skill, like driving a car. I'm not a car guy, but I drive a car every day, right? But that's an adult life skill that I must possess. I think guns are the same thing. So when I think about making videos or watching videos or taking classes, while it's something that, yes, one, I enjoy just like I enjoy lifting, right? It's also something that is ranked in my order of priorities. And let me tell you, it's probably not in my top five. That might be kind of weird for a person who, like me, teaches guns, right? That guns aren't my top five parties. But the truth is it's not. There are a lot of things that take priority over guns and my ability to defend myself and my liberty and my family and all that stuff. The things namely are the things that I'm defending. If you're a single unmarried person with no kids, you know, maybe that's a little bit higher priority because you just don't have as many things to take care of. But as you acquire these things in life and you're able to get married and you're able to have kids, things like guns move down the priority list. And that's not a bad thing. If guns are your top priority in life, and that's your whole personality, I have serious questions about how interesting of a person you are because the truth is you're probably not that interesting of a person. That's not me knocking you or necessarily even making fun of you. Well, maybe it is a little bit. But the point is, is that there are greater things in life than lifting or guns or whatever. And if that's all your life is, I would say that you have a fairly small life. Of course, the top priority in your life should be Jesus, but that's probably a different video. If you don't know Jesus, I suggest you take a look at that. And then you have things like relationships with other people. Relationships with other people, friends, wife, kids, whatever. That of course trumps most of your things, including guns. Again, guns, liberty, fantastic. We should love them and cherish them, but they shouldn't be our top priorities. And so as you go through and you watch your five different YouTube videos today and you're subscribed to different channels, I would invite you to consider your priorities and make sure you're putting your time, effort, and money into the things that matter most and not into just a hobby because it's fun. I hope that makes you think about it just a little bit more. Enjoy those guns, get to the range, do your dry fire today, but know that that's all subservient to your greater priorities in life. Do brave deeds and endure.
