90 Seconds of Inspiration-You know, sometimes you just gotta say..."I don't have all the answers"-"I don't know how things are gonna work out..."-"I don't know...but I'm gonna do this anyway...I'm gonna move fwd..."-"I'm gonna try this, I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna go do this thing that I have no idea how it's gonna work out..."-Sometimes you have to get to that point in your life...-Where everything that you've been doing just, is mundane, it's boring...it is not who you want to be anymore...-I sat back for so many years and I didn't do things because I've never done them before...-or...

90 Seconds of InspirationLet's try something...(knocking on glass)-That's glass, you live in one of those?-You live in a glass house?-If you're saying no, you're a damn lie...hear me out...-There's been a lot of stuff going on with cancel culture over the last couple of weeks right?-Everybody tryna cancel somebody because they don't like what somebody said 10, 11, 15, 20, 25 years ago...-They don't wanna give people the opportunity to apologize for the person that they used to be.-They wanna hold them accountable for something that they did when they were dumb and ignorant.- If you find yourself doing that, you...

Here’s to transparency…🍻 - What I feared would happened, “happened”. - I got comfortable. 2021 I got my new place and finally got some peace in my life. (My fear: I’d lose my hunger) - I did. I thought I could now put it in cruise control and go hard (here and there) but take it easy. - The photo on the left is what “take it easy” looks like. (I am struggling showing this photo man it upsets me) - I can run the excuses: I had a concussion, I got C19, I lost someone and got depressed, I...
