Who are you?
Often times we have these personalities build based on things outside of ourselves depending upon religion, environment, friends and family. Deep down, who are you? And we often find out exactly who we are when facing adversity.
Life is going to give you hard times and you can either complain or use it as an opportunity for growth!

In the midst of Chaos, there is also opportunity- Sun Tzu
When asked “would you go back and change anything” the first thing that comes to mind is the chaos endured when striving for greatness.
In this moment I realized that the chaos, the hard times in life are what makes us. In these times our true character is shown and it gives us an opportunity, if aware, to evolve.

Don’t write goals without considering the Sacrifices!

Personally, I struggle with picking my head up from the “grind” and smelling the flowers. It caused me to reach goals and still feel empty and unfulfilled. I felt this leaking into other aspects of my life like relationships and the weight room and realized it wasn’t healthy.
How am I getting better?
-Showing Gratitude
-Being Present: if I stay in the present then once those goals are accomplished I can fully feel all the emotions that come with it before moving on to the next task.

Present Suffering…Future Glory!!!
It was an honor to speak to some of the incoming class from Texas for the United States Merchant Marine Academy @usmma.official
All week I was trying to figure out how to sum up my time at the Academy in 1 statement: PRESENT SUFFERING, FUTURE GLORY.
Though things suck right now, and life might not be how you want it, once you get to the other side of things you’ll appreciate the lessons learned.
Always a blessing to be used as a vessel, GLORY BE TO GOD
Romans 8:18 and Romans 5:3-5

Type “Recipe” if you receive this.
Instant gratification sneaks its way into our prayers and we forget that sometimes there’s some work that has to be put in. Whatever you are praying for requires discipline and consistency to keep. These are tools. It is important that we pray for the tools to recognize, receive and maintain our blessings!

“Don’t let who you used to be, destroy who you’ve become”
Its really YOU VS. YOU
Something I struggle with, especially when speaking, is allowing the old me to destroy the new me. Old ways, old mistakes, regrets, and guilt penetrate my mind at times but in my weakness I am made strong.
It’s important to pull lessons from the past without bringing the identity back with it. I know I’m not the only one that needed to hear this, so I hope this reached whoever it was supposed to.
ALLOW ME TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF
