40.

40.

40 days and 40 nights, the rains came down upon the Earth that left Noah on his ark.

40 days and 40 nights that Moses spent atop Mt. Sinai, twice.

40 years, the Israelites wandered the wilderness following their exodus from Egypt.

40 days and nights that Jesus was tested and tempted by the devil.

40.

40 has been calling out at me and I’ve wondered what it meant. after talking with my friend, we discussed what the significance of the number might be. it’s long enough for temptation to set in. for complacency to set its roots. long enough to let the mind wander. long enough to veer off path and really change your life trajectory if you’re not careful. it could also be, just long enough to make a change. depending on how intense you dive into those 40 days, it could make the difference between setting yourself up for wins in the upcoming season. intentional isolation pits you against your demons. with a strict plan/idea, you can really find out what is important to you.

40 days is just about 6 weeks and at the beginning of this year, I started off with 6 weeks of no sugar/alcohol and it really did some good things for me. I remember having some clarity that is really hard to replicate otherwise. I don’t think I have been able to replicate it if I’m being honest.

40 days.

what can you do in 40 days? how much can you resist for 40 days?

what WILL you do for the next 40 days? start now. not tomorrow, now.

motion this week. motion next week.

action / everything.

all praise to the Most High.
