That Dark Passenger

That Dark Passenger is serious, some of you know what I am talking about, I have that Dark Passenger. That side that can flare up if I don't stay consistent in alignment and disciplined with my daily habits. If I don't stay focused on my goals/purpose that Dark Passenger starts to play tricks on my mind.

Probably, no definitely stems from the trauma of my childhood. This Dark Passenger can cause absolute chaos. What is this Dark Passenger?

It is those toxic traits that flare up when hurt, cornered or at a low vibration state. It's that downright MEANNESS that infiltrates my mind and causes me to go down dark rabbit holes of thought.

I have an insane side to me that's dangerous, truly dangerous when I feel cornered or if I feel my options are running out. I'm like an anti-social Pit Bull. Once that Volume dial hits 10, man...it's wild where that side of my mindset can go to. Not good, best to barricade me in solitary till I calm down.

Once that level is tapped into I'm seeing RED, Level 10 I lose all control and it's like the ultimate breaking of my character. It's almost psychotic like for me. I've only met the Dark Passenger twice in my life. I was truly disgusted at how I acted. When the darkness comes all my standards, principles and discipline are gone, no more rules. It was a scary and sad time for me, I lost all my wits, my calmness and all bets were off.

It doesn't come when I'm on my daily path, it comes when I think too much of our current government, current landscape of our country and when I allow the demons of my childhood to infiltrate my mind.

I don't want to break character, I only broke twice in over 50 years of life. I've got to remain cool-calm-collected. If I remain composed all will be okay. I need a clear eyed view for my day. I need to train to be my best self for not only ME but the Tribe of people I care about.

I need to make the right choices that make me feel proud, maintain my level of selfishness for that 1 hour per day. This 4 am wake up is for me to be the best version, master self, self mastery.

I need to keep that Dark Passenger locked up, by keeping FRAME with my daily discipline, knowing who I am with good vibes and good alignment.

Nothing good comes from letting this Dark Passenger in. I got to keep him in the rear view, locked in the trunk.

If I don't then there is a high probability that I will become the very thing that I hate the most.

Nuff said,

BELIEVE YOUR OWN CRAP

Time to ramp it up, stacking more wins.

A mindset is the key.

Here it is: BELIEVE YOUR OWN CRAP. If you're a liar and going out teaching, telling people you did something that you didn't you're nothing but a poser. Eventually your truth or fallacy will show through. I'm the image of my gym. I'm a COMBINATION man: Wrestler/Tactical Athlete. My job is to be the most functionally, tactically, strongest, dangerous, son of a gun on the planet.

To protect myself & those I love. My mindset tells me that whatever you're afraid of owns you. People say to me aren't you afraid of hurting your back again? NO, NO I'm not. I've been there, twice! I know how to handle it. And know what? I came back better, stronger and with a better body.

It's all a mindset. Are you a victim mentality type or a winner mentality type?

Are you the prey or the predator? I'm that HARD MAN OF REPUTATION WITH SWAGGER. That's who I am. I get crap done at fit over 50 years old and outwork guys that are 25.

I'm that son of a gun. Stand when the sheep bow and bow when the sheep stand.

Do not fear death

Do not fear death.

We all will die.

It's not smart to worry about the inevitable.

It's over when you're pushing flowers, when you've crossed the river.

When you've gone over to the other side, when you've passed that Event Horizon. That's when you're in a new realm. In a new frame of conciousness that's when at least this existence ends that's the only destination.

Easier said than done for me.

I try and "level up" daily with my workouts and as a man.

Trying to keep Father Time at bay the best I can while here.

The advice I have for fear of getting older is that's a natural feeling to lose your youth and abilities.

That's a process of getting old.

But, getting old is getting wiser.

Getting older is taking your life experiences and being able to make a difference in this world.

Getting older is experience & knowledge which equals power.

Getting older you should be able to reflect on the good you've done. Getting older is the ideology of youth, living and dying.

But I ask in the moments between birth and death what did you do when you had your youth and strength?

Did you make a difference and if you did THEN GETTING OLDER DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING because YOU LIVED YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE.

The message is still the same, but I'm not stupid anymore.

The message is still the same, but I'm not stupid anymore.

I used to be stupid and turn the other cheek to the morons that have no validity or receipts to back up their words.

Thus I became stupid.

That's how I evolved.

I'm not stupid anymore but, I allowed the negative Nancy types, the nutters and energy vampires to infiltrate my mindset. So I then made myself handicapped by responding to these clowns.

I want to put out content for like minded savages, winner wolves and go getters that have the same fire inside of them as me. They want to stack wins daily and always move forward. That's who my content is for.

Be the best version of self.

So yes I'm more gritty, more cantankerous, more intense and more driven.

My execution has changed and that's how my vision for this channel changed.
