Do what you can.

April 9th, 2024

When you don’t know what to do, you must be prepared to do anything and everything, in case it becomes necessary. – Jordan B. Peterson

My late grandfather once told me that when there’s nothing you can do and you’ve exhausted every option, do what you can. He told me this in 7th grade. Little did I know that this would be one of the most vital pieces of information I would learn in life.

When you try, you will be knocked down. If you have goals, you will fail. You WILL fail. There will be times where you think there’s no way you can rebound. Good thing your brain doesn’t control your actions, unless you let it.

Un-comfy.

April 1st, 2024

“Become comfortable being uncomfortable” is great advice, but don’t think for a second that it’s foolproof.

Most of the time, the things you must do to get to the next level are uncomfortable. But what people won’t tell you is that if you work on whatever makes you uncomfortable, it will soon become comfortable.

Most definitely, push yourself. Most importantly, be yourself.

Are You Valuable?

March 26th, 2024

“I don’t care if it’s hip-hop, film, or the financial sector — if you can make a convincing case that you can add value to an organization, they’re going to find a spot for you.” – Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson

I’m regularly asked what can be done to remain in good standing within an organization. Easy answer: Be valuable. Be someone that people want to work with and are happy to say it aloud. Provide concreate results that nobody can dispute.

However, that doesn’t mean you’ll remain with that organization. Economic challenges are real, and everyone is affected. Also, no matter how well you’re regarded, it’s wise to always work as though someone is nipping at your heels. You may not seem them, but they’re there.
Life isn’t fair.

March 22nd, 2024

As kids, “Thats not fair” was a common phrase used by most. Adults nowadays have adopted this cry when faced with adversity, even if it was their own doing.
Who Are You?

March 19th, 2024

“Real men don’t dance to other people’s tune, instead, they play for others to dance.” ― Michael Bassey Johnson

Do you know who you are? Are you comfortable with how to portray yourself to the masses?

What do you want to be known for? How do you want to be remembered?

Are you a bridge builder? Do you blaze new trails?

Do you do what’s popular? Do you think about others before you make your own decisions? Are unknowns controlling your life?
Enjoy The Journey

March 17th, 2024

“The mindset isn’t about seeking a result — it’s more about the process of getting to that result. It’s about the journey and the approach. It’s a way of life. I do think that it’s important, in all endeavors, to have that mentality. ” – The Mamba Mentality

I used to be fixated on the end result, neglecting the journey itself. It felt monotonous, uninspiring, and you could throw in any other synonym you want. It drained the joy out of my daily life. I was miserable.

But just because something becomes routine doesn’t mean it lacks value.

Nevertheless, I learned to embrace the grind. Achieving something effortlessly left me feeling indifferent. Accomplishing goals through discipline, hard work, and dedication felt like hitting the jackpot.

I’ve developed a passion for the process. I welcome challenges and adversity. I’ve taught myself to view obstacles as opportunities and basically a launchpad.

Every tough encounter thus far has enriched me as a man, husband, brother, son, and Godfather. I eagerly anticipate further chances for growth, regardless of their nature. Bring it on.
Overthinking

March 14th, 2024

“This doesn’t make sense at first sight, but when you think too hard, you often come up with bad ideas. hat’s because you can’t actively think your way out of everything. We’ve all had good ideas while taking a shower. That’s because we’re not actively thinking.” – Darius Foroux, “Think Straight”

As a kid, I wish I’d tackled overthinking head-on. Spending hours lost in thought, only to realize it was time squandered. I’d even talk myself out of great situations and opportunities.

But stopping overthinking? Not a walk in the park. Our minds are like Ferraris – powerful and thrilling, but if not handled right, they can wreak havoc on ourselves and those around us.

Failure is Inevitable

March 12th, 2024

“We must be willing to roll the dice and lose. Prepare, at the end of the day, for none of it to work. Anyone in pursuit of a goal comes face-to-face with this time and time again. Sometimes, no amount of planning, no amount of thinking – not matter how hard we try or patiently we persist — will change the fact that some things just aren’t going to work” – Ryan Holiday, “The Obstacle Is The Way”.

True indeed. It’s inevitable that if you dream big, you will fail. A lot.

Review the lives of those who were audacious enough to dream big and act on their visions. They will bombard you with story after story on how they failed, over and over.

Those who laugh at you, or belittle you for failing are not those you want to be associated with anyway. Let them laugh.

If you aren’t failing, your goals aren’t big enough.

Failure should never be seen as a “waste of time”. Learning and application is key.
Ego

March 2nd, 2024

Your ego could be the problem.

You could be one of those people that have a story in your head.

If your reality doesn’t reflect it, you’re upset.

If you are of this group, don’t feel alone.

This isn’t uncommon.

We all fall into the trap of wanting others to think highly of us, in whatever realm we deem significant.

People’s perceptions guide what they think of you.

You can mean well, doesn’t mean it’s going to be received the way you intended it to.

So why are you upset again?
Get Mogged

February 19th, 2024

Feeling “inferior” isn’t anyone’s jam. Feeling “less than” or inadequate? Nope, not cool. But guess what? That might just be your secret sauce for reaching the top.

Now, when it comes to mental health hiccups, hitting the gym is like a golden ticket. It won’t magically fix everything, but it’s a solid step toward feeling damn proud of yourself.

And I’m not talking about a leisurely stroll on the treadmill. Nah, I mean diving into the weights, breaking a sweat with some cardio for a good 30 – 45 minutes, full throttle.

Sure, you might bump into gym beasts who look like they’ve got it all together. But hey, that’s primo motivation fuel right there. Seeing someone else rock what you want? That’s like pouring gasoline on your workout fire. If you’re competitive, you feel that heat too.

Embrace the “mog”. It’s a win-win. The mogger gets their high, and you? You get a turbo boost of inspiration to crush those weights even harder.
