Today 5/30/22 ( MEMORIAL DAY ) will always be a heavy day in my heart as I have lost alott of my closest brothers. SSG Mcclintok, SSG Harmeyer and Sgt Testa were just a few of many. I had the pleasure of meeting and serving along side these guys as they help guide me along my journey. They were very uplifting, good spirit, positive people that loved the military but left us way to soon.

The numbers show approximately 22 soldiers commit su***de a day and rising, which is INSANE! Something needs to be done!

Not a single day goes by that I don’t think about my brothers and wish I could have maybe done something different to be there for them. Often times its the ones that seem the happiest that are truly hurting the most. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK ON YOUR LOVED ONES EVEN IF THEY SEEM TO BE ‘ OKAY ‘

I have dealt with my own demons throughout my life, some harder than others, but I made a promise to myself to dedicate each day of my life to bettering myself and trying to bring light into this world in memory of my fallen brothers.

They are gone but NEVER forgotten. The saying goes “ There are heroes and there are legends. Heroes get remembered, but legends never die. Follow your heart and you’ll never go wrong “

Rest in peace 🙏🏼

Talent makes you good but hustle makes you great. You get back what you put into it and that goes for anything you do in life!

Life has a way of throwing you curve balls to see if you really have what it takes to go after what you said you wanted.

I cant stress fitness enough. It has been a long journey and i regret nothing! I have only learned along the way.

A lot of people rely on medications and excuses to why they cant do something and Its a lot easier to not do what you say you’re going to do because its hard but once you do it, you are glad you did it.

♦️IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR MINDSET♦️

Accept responsibility for your actions. Be accountable for your results. Take ownership of your mistakes.

You will face many defeats in life wether it be a loss of family member or friend, could be you lost your job, maybe you didn’t reach your fitness goal or failed at opening a business or it can go as deep as little daily mental defeats.

But what I have learned from these struggles we all endure is that life is to short to give up and be defeated!

I’ll repeat that again. LIFE IS TO SHORT TO GIVE UP AND BE DEFEATED!

Yesterday may not have gone the way you wanted but each day that we wake up we are blessed with a fresh new day & yesterday’s problems no longer matter, and thats the mindset we need to have.

Some people can plan their life in advance and some of us struggling just have to take it day by day. There is no right or wrong but there is one thing we all share in common & that is we are all human.

Stay active, stay motivated & stay disciplined family 🙏🏼

One day or day one?

YOU DECIDE!

I had to take some time off, pull back, regroup & hit it back hard again.

Life will hit and knock you down when you LEAST expect it and when you AREN’T prepared but you have the power to create and manifest the outcome of your life and any challenges / roadblocks that you are faced with.

Grow through what you go through.

Today Monday May 31st 2021, Memorial Day.

Today is a day to remember the past, the present & future military men and women who served and are currently serving.

Some of you may know that in 2010 I joined the US Army. I served 5 years & It was a very dark time for me as I lost many close friends and family during that time.
I ended up breaking my back and both legs ending my career but I am lucky & thankful to still be here today!

I dont think the military gets the recognition that it truly deserves. I want to send thanks out to ALL military personal, first responders & anyone that puts their life on the line for our safety and freedom.

So today lets celebrate and remember the true hero’s of this country 🇺🇸

‘ Be honest with yourself about what you really want to accomplish, sometimes we make goals based on what others think we should do. ‘

As a personal trainer I hear this all the time. “ I wanna look like this person “
“ my goal is to be skinny like him or her “
“ I wish I had money like them “
“ I want that perfect relationship to “

Just a few examples but we get so focused on what people think of us and other peoples opinions that we forget to be honest with ourselves on what we truly want to accomplish in life, work, relationships etc.

Stay focused and be honest!

“ If you don’t value yourself, then you will always be attracted to people that don’t value you either. “

One lesson I have learned the hard way is you have to value yourself and always put yourself first.

Often times we get caught up always wanting to help others before we help ourselves or we work ourselves to death and never take breaks.

* Understand your worth.
* Value your life.
* Appreciate your blessings.

Every morning our life resets back to default and we get a new opportunity to become a happier version of ourselves.

It starts with the alarms that we set. once said “ don’t hit the snooze button because if you do, you wake up already failing. “

When we wake up we have to set the bar for ourselves. Start off with some positive affirmations, stretches, make your bed whatever it may be to keep the mind clear.

Often times people wake up and set the first mood to unhappy or sadness or anger due to being late or tired or carnying problems over from the day before.

You must remind your self that everyday is a new day. Stay positive and set small goals throughout the day as the small wins do count!
