#win today

i'd been slacking off recently and last night i told myself i'd workout and get some reading in. today, i was so tempted to fall back into my bad habits but i forced myself to get things done! i told myself that if i want it, i have to go get it; and i wasn't backing down.

Many years ago, I sat beside a grocery store on a pay phone talking to my father about how I might have made a mistake. I was broke, between jobs, and starting college soon. With little food in the house for my bride, I was certain that I made a mistake. Dad gave me the standard advice just keep going. I internalized that advice, and vowed that we would never be in that position again. #warriormentality #nevergiveup

I have feasted over the years storing extra pounds (heaviest weight 230 that I know. At some point I stopped weighing myself out of shame) like I was preparing for that day to return. I realize fear was driving along with poor choices.

I have been set free! I am no longer a slave to fear! Fear is a liar! It is more than a declaration it is a fact. We choose to hear the loudest voice. When we surround ourselves with voices that cannot see the path only doom and despair. It is no wonder why our lives take a negative turn. We most defeat the negativity. Win a simple battle today. Push to make today a little better than yesterday! Yes, fear will come, self doubt, but you are a warrior and nothing can stop you except yourself!
