In 2012 I was facing a maximum penalty of 50 years in prison!
.
I was 23 years old. Not yet a pro boxer.
.
I had court every month from 2012-2014
.
I was depressed, negative, and ashamed of myself.
.
In the end I pleaded guilty for a lesser felony with 2 yrs probation.
.
During this time I was super depressed.
.
But I knew deep down inside what I must do.
.
I bite the bullet, And eliminated weakness that dont serve me.
.
I dropped out of college to save money.
.
I stopped eating out.
.
I worked 12 hr shifts at a warehouse to make money.
.
I cut out negative influences which included some Friends & Family.
.
I trained 5 times a week.
.
I had no option but to eat healthy. Shakeology and BeachBody saved my health and fitness.
.
I knew the consequences of not going pro. And I understood the rewards if I went pro.
.
Your biggest loss can become your biggest win!
.
I am grateful for this to have happened in my life.
.
Without it I'd probably be working a job I hate, while going to school and getting into debt.
.
I wish all of you to follow your strengths and double down on your passion. Make it your career!
.
How do you handle losses? Let me know your thoughts!
.
Hypothyroidism you can beat it.
Cancer you can beat it.
Diabetes you can beat it.
Being a felon you can beat it.
.
You have the pen in your hand. Who will write your story?
.
You or them?
.
Excuses are born inside your head.
.
People don't pursue dreams because their job enslaves their time
To seem unreachable.
.
Some people stick with college for the approval and satisfaction of their parents and society.
.
My parents were pissed when I dropped out, but my happiness is way more important than losing $4,700. .
If I had stayed in school I would be bitter at my job. Quit to find another job. Then, I rinse and repeat. Does this sound familiar? How many jobs have you quit since college?
.
I want to invite you to rewrite your story. Become the hero of your story. Don't let your career be your end!
.
Build your dreams. Join my team. Become POWER!
