Death
Death,
Dark for sure but does it have to be?
Life is temporary, goes by fast. We have to remember we're all going to DIE.
That's actually empowering, all we have is very temporary.
Death is the finality of it that makes it spooky. One day we are here, a loved one is here and then POOF! They're gone.
When is that going to be?
One day is going to be the last day.
That's TOUGH.
When that day comes will you be proud of everything you've done, will you have regrets? Some things like regrets can be worse than the illness/disease one is fighting.
What can I do to have that moral clarity in my daily walk?
This body, this experience is going to end, I want to see it lived right.
We've all messed up and done stupid crap in our life, this is normal, we are not perfect.
Everyday what are you doing with yourself?
The best way to move forward is to sit your butt down and shut your mouth. None of us are getting out of this life alive, one go on this rodeo. How are you going to leave it for those that are still here?
How are they going to say you lived your life?
How many people did you impact positively?
How are you going to be remembered?
I hope they say MAN, THAT GUY LIVED!
He was a POSITIVE IMPACT!
We all are going to die, we should be operating with a smile, it's not all doom and gloom, craps not that serious.
Death doesn't have to be this dark concept. Yes, the finality is serious but it should remind us to take this light but to take it CORRECT.
Smile, it's NICE TO BE NICE.
Lead from the front and lift those you care about daily.
Nuff said,
Coach out.
No is your weapon to unlimited power.
No is your weapon to unlimited power.
Stop being a volunteered Punching Bag to everyone because you think you're being nice.
It's simple really start saying NO.
You don't owe anyone an explanation.
Worry about your feelings not others feelings.
Stop being available 24/7, it's not a flex, just stop it.
Saying NO is reps for your central nervous system.
Close you gate to the drama, distractions, gossip and escape.
Focus on building YOU INC, closed to the nonsesne.
Here:
No I can't make it,
No I'm not available that day.
No I'm not interested.
No I'm choosing to do something else.
Boundaries are your FLEX.
Set them.
You're welcome.
Machine out.
Be your own masterpiece
Be your own masterpiece.
You have to be so confident in who you are that no ones opinion, rejection or behavior can mess with you. You can't satisfy everyone so stop trying to. Be self aware, self confident and find self love.
Become your own "Self Vanity Project" and make it a MASTERPIECE. I'm proud of myself for not being FAKE. I'm difficult, contrary, gritty, driven and have a few screws loose but I'm 100% ME. "Only motivation I need is knowing I'm not IT yet."
Giving a CRAP is expensive
Giving a CRAP is expensive. You're labeled as a bad person when you don't care about everything/everyone via social media posts....not liking a Facebook post, not commenting on the latest stupidity etc. You're trained to say YES, to never offend, never disappoint.
To smile at all your obligations that you HATE for all the people that you can't stand and events that you hope get cancelled so that you don't have to go to.
You got no boundaries for yourself, no filters and no standards. You're handing out "CRAPS" like Halloween candy to everyone, people that you went to school with 30 years ago, people that you've not spoke to in years so you give so many CRAPS away.
This can be fixed by learning the 2 most important words in the world NO THANKS.
This is how to be FREE. You don't owe your time + energy to everybody. You don't owe your mental space, money + weekends to baby showers, dinners, get together etc..
Maybe build a spine and some standards. Start your CRAP BUDGET, stop giving away your time, energy and attention....stop getting sucked into a Black Hole of nonsense because you can't say NO.
I have VALUE and give ZERO CRAPS anymore about giving things away for FREE when I already give so much away for FREE.
Stop hanging out with the wrong people in your life. You hand out/pay attention to these OG friends that you've known since high school or you because your kids are friends or whatever excuse you use to validate why you're hanging out with these energy vampires. These jokers don't have the same VISION, AMBITION, DRIVE or CORE VALUES as you. So you allow them to PIN you down to the mat. Because of their discomfort with your evolution, YOURS. You're stacking wins yet you allow these nutters to hold you down because they don't like the way your success makes them feel.
They end up talking about you behind your back in a negative way that makes them look good and in a way that appears as if it is out of concern for you and your best interest.
No, they have their interest in mind. They're going to try and stop you. Because you've leveled up past them, it exposes them to their lack of "gusto" and follow through. They're stuck in their own shit show that they've created while making excuses to validate why they're where they are. While you refuse to live in their distraction and escape while they still choose to live there.
Most people view people like me as a THREAT because they have so much low self esteem, low self worth and insecurities. So they talk out both sides of their mouth attacking you because they don't like the way your success makes them feel.
So stop giving a CRAP!
Why care how they feel if they hold you back. If you're stacking wins and someone doesn't like it you're hanging out with the wrong people. Want to expose your supposed friends?
See how they react to your WINS...This shows true friendship. See who cheers you on when you start stacking wins.
Do an "AUDIT" on your life:
Kill every relationship that puts even the slightest doubt in your mind.
Stop trying to be for EVERYONE, be for those that put time into you as much as you put into them. You're going to get judged from both sides anyway so might as well build the "CRAP" out of the life YOU want than waiting via asking permission from a bunch of excuse making, jokers that always say YES.
Time is all we have, stop giving away your time.

Skin in the Game
I believe in having "skin" in the game and practicing what you preach and teach. There are so many in today's Fitness, Personal Training and Combat Sports that have never actually walked the walk yet they're somehow an "Expert" in said field.
I say if you've never actually done what you're teaching then you are nothing more than a FAKE.
Be weary of who you choose to work with and take instruction from. I believe in practicing what I preach. There are far too many "pretenders" out there that have no skin in the game training people. They look like crap, have a dad bod, frumpy, disheveled and fat. Or they are on "SPECIAL" medicine and when off said "SPECIAL" medicine they look like a bag of milk or Grimace from Mcdonald's.
Yet these people have all sorts of degrees with a bunch of letters after their names.
I'm here to tell you that RESULTS determine how smart you are not a DEGREE.
But, what do I know...I'm just some disgruntled, ugly bald guy that looks like "TIGGER" on social media.
Tread carefully.
