Everything in life has some kind of brokenness, even a new born baby is broken.
For a mom to be able to give birth to her baby, the umbilical cord has to be broken.
Why is it so hard for you and I to accept broken people when you and I were once broken!

Some great words from Dr. Martin Luther King
We will not be satisfied until Justice rolls down like Waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.
Sooner or later, all people of the world will have to discover a way to live together in peace.

"I Find Pleasure In The Monotony"
The freedom I have found in routine is by far more exciting than you think. The days my wife and I are focused and working a system are the most productive days.
Things that we put off or wait to do kills momentum
Reaching out to people and closing out accounts either win or lose is the name of the game in sales. Maybes will kill you.
MVP is a term in business that means so much to me now. Minimal Viable Product.
I used to wait until things were flashy and looked amazing until I released anything. Nowadays I’m looking to launch as fast as possible. Get it out and tweak and improve.

"My Pain Outweighs My Fear"
As a StoryAthlete, what motivates me to strive for more is knowing that I will die one day. It’s usually an unknown for many and so the unknown is fearful. For me it’s not fearful since my Lord and Savior is Jesus.
What is painful is too know that I don’t do all that I can do while I’m here on earth. This is my motivating factor to do all that I can do.
When I feel tired or unmotivated I remember this could be my last moment.
So my pain outweighs my fear
My pain of being ashamed of things I’ve done and thoughts I’ve had outweigh my fear of shedding the mask I carried for so long in my life.
Today marks 582 days since I stopped seeking comfort in something detrimental to my mental and spiritual health. I’m not ashamed of it and the transformation I’ve experienced has shaken the reality of what I thought possible.
The GRIT group I’m about of come at a time in my life where I’m shedding the false-self and embracing my true self. I work real hard at not judging others since I myself am a masterpiece in the making.
I will take strides towards pain because I know true growth hides waiting to be tapped.
Here I am tapping and continuing to knock off layers of my mask so my true-self will rise. My scars shown to others will be a testament to what is possible.
The pain of my old self being removed is real. I’m no longer fearful of what others may say. It’s not a reflection of me it a reflection of them and their mask.
I love you guys

"I Am The Proof"
I am a passionate guy and I act on my passion very easily. Lately I have learned to listen more intently and act slower so I am lead towards the true path.
Being the proof to me means that my identity needs to be grounded and founded on something that is stronger than self.
You know where I’m going with this. Living my life on purpose and knowing God’s plan for myself is super important.
When I live my life like that the proof that God has a plan and He is with me needs to be evident through my actions.
When I allow my anger to get a hold of me there is no proof of God’s identity within me.
That is where Grace comes and as long as I accept the Grace that is given I can start anew and continue on being the Proof of God’s Love

"I Accept The Consequences"
If I’m able to get out all the consequences that I deserve then there will be no progression in my life.
If I think I can get away with anything no matter if it hurts people. What kind of life would I be living?
I know in my life, I have improved when I felt the hurt and figured out my part of the deal.
I can come up with excuses and reasons why I did what I did and get a pity party going and not feel the pain of the consequence.
The truth of the matter it comes down to Ego/Pride. Those are the enemy of accepting any consequence.
I need the consequence so I can move forward stronger than before. That means I need to leave ego and pride behind me.
I accept the consequences.

"I Never Count Myself Out"
It took me a while to figure out that it’s never too late to win. You’ve heard it before, “It ain’t over until it’s over”
I have to approach life like a game of football. There are rules, referees, certain times to do certain things, and so on and so forth. You can be on one end of the field and throw that one pass and score a touchdown pass and win the game.
There so many scenarios but you get the idea. If I think I lost before I actually lost then I lost and there is little hope for me.
Sometimes little hope is all we need because as long as there is time there is hope. The funny thing about time, we don’t know how much we have. That is why we need to grab a hold of every minute and fight hard as if we were playing a game
I have to keep a good company in order to accomplish the desires that God has placed in my heart.
Psalm 37:4 (ESV)
Delight yourself in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Philippians 2:13 (ESV)
for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Come on let’s get It! God has given it to us already

"I Nurture An Abundance Mindset"
I remember first hearing about abundance and it was the most interesting word I had ever heard.
Here is a word that confronts fear and contradicts the notion that everything comes to an end.
Thinking about everything coming to an end it reminds me that an end also starts a new beginning
If you have a scarcity mindset then when that ends you now have an abundance mindset. Then if something you have an abundance is depleted then something else in abundance will show up. It’s just an unwritten law that I have experienced.
I remember a friend of mine would tell me that there is no new matter created on earth. So we have everything we need and want here on earth. So if you want something just seek it.
Matt 6:33 ESV
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
That is how I Nurture my Abundance Mindset

"I Am Insanely Strategic"
Currently, I’m going through 3 main challenges this month that coordinate to help each other out.
1. GRIT which helps me stay active in with my body with workouts every day and on Sunday we stretch. My mind is being challenged by writing about the principle that is given to me. This is an example of that.
2. GRIT helps me find the 30-day Video Challenge which is encouraging me to post a video every day and I’m given the context of the video. So this works my mind and helps my business. GRIT gave me the confidence I needed to do the 30-day video challenge.
3. One Funnel Away Challenge is a Big one while doing these other challenges. ClickFunnels hosts these challenges. It will improve my understanding of marketing and allow me to help more people with texting.
I am becoming better at cultivating my content and figuring out where my weakness is so I can hire to fill in the gaps. I’m currently getting help to post my social media ideas.
I’m great at having the idea and starting the process but finishing is my weakness.
Producing and Publishing content will become a system that I will be consistent at doing.
I have chills because I wrote most of this post months ago and now I see it happening.
There is still room for improvement and being more strategic!

"I Embrace Small Wins"
I love small wins! Imagine not celebrating when your child starting walking because you have been walking almost your whole life.
What you think might be a small win can be a huge win for someone else.
A win is a win. No matter how small.
Small wins daily add up so I embrace as many as I see in myself and others.
I’m told that I’m positive and an encouraging person. I don’t expect the big wins anymore I do expect the small ones when I do the work.
The big ones will come when they come. I’m still a dreamer and looking to lock in some big wins. Although my happiness does not rely on my big wins.
Taking a look at it now I realize why people say I’m positive, it’s because I take my small wins and I make them big and the small losses I find a way for it to make sense which will help me get the big wins.
My focus is not on big wins. My focus is on my journey to becoming the best version of myself and the results of becoming better and better each day.

"I'm Willing To Start At The Bottom"
The real estate crash of 2008 taught me and my wife many things. Don’t ever think you are untouchable by the market.
When we experienced the real estate crash of 2008 we had to let go of some properties and thank God we were not renting and were we lived and we were able to live rent-free.
I had just had my 1st child in 2007 and my next child was born in 2009. That September after he was born I found a job working at a Halloween store as a character.
The owner liked my attitude and wanted me inside selling to his clients.
I ended up having a good relationship with the owner and we even had dinner one time and we continued to talk on and off. If I never would have accepted the job starting pay at $8 an hour when I was 31 years old then had a raise within a week to $10/hour I would have never found a friend. Then I continued to climb up to gain some great experience and now I help others with the knowledge I have gain.
I have to be coachable and start where I can or else my ego will get in the way of success.
