36 Years

As I cross this threshold of “early 30s” I take inventory of my previous 35 years. I have lived and experienced more in my first 35 than most people will in a lifetime. Hardships, pain, struggle, love, heartbreak, war, homelessness, success and defeat.

I have worn many different hats over the years, son, brother, high school athlete, team captain, Marine, Subsea engineer, student, teacher, professor, strongman, equipment operator, executive security, business owner, and now business partner and director.

Throughout each ebb and flow of life I have learned lessons. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. I feel like a huge part of life people forget is that each movement we have a chance to build and grow our future self. I wasn’t always a good man. I wasn’t always a good person. But I think thats all part of the beauty of life. The ability to change. Adapt. Overcome.

This year is truly a special one. I feel as though there are a multitude of parallel lines coming together and this year is an inflection point. A stepping off point into a new chapter. I am, as of right now more fulfilled than I have been in a very long time, I feel as though I am fully following my life great purpose. One part of that purpose is to adapt and change as the tides change.

Every year I make a promise to myself, this year I promise to fully allow the success I have coming. I promise to fully let myself enjoy, feel, and accept the amazing things and opportunities that life is presenting me with. From a book I am rereading: The world will conspire in your favor if you only allow it to!

As I move into my “late 30s” (oh boy haha) I take note of my body, I am healthier now that I have been in years. I am stronger mentally, and more capable than ever. My hands may be beat up and scarred but I am not done building!

This year truly feels special. I plan to fully immerse myself into whatever may come my way and I promise that 2024 will be a FULL SEND! In life, business, love, personal development, health and mind!

To whomever may read this. Remember it’s not too late…. But don’t wait.

Cheers to 36!
