The process for creating a Stronger Than Failure Mindset works. I know it works, because it worked for me.
Allow me to explain......
Life was not always easy.
I battled anxiety for years. Currently my mom is battling stage 4 cancer in her colon, stomach, Iiver, and lungs. (She is the strongest person I know and who I gained my mental toughness from)
I was the first born of 6 kids to a poor family. We had a lot of love, but not a lot of money.
On top of being poor I was small and weak and got teased and made fun of a lot. I even remember my grandfather (who had been a professional wrestler and race car driver) telling me that he thought I would be the kid getting bullied and having sand kicked into his face at the beach.
I also remember our family financially struggling so much that all our clothes came from thrift stores and I changing elementary schools 3 times. We had to move from living with my dad's parents, to living with my mom's parents, then to my aunt and uncle's house before we finally moved into a trailer on a long dusty dirt road out in the country.
My dad was a great man, but he unfortunately turned to drugs when I was in middle school. There were some Christmases' we didn't have, because instead of my dad buying presents he used all the money on drugs. I was still in my 20's when he passed away.
And, in my 20's is when I started drinking and doing drugs every day.
With my friends at the time using drugs, and me struggling with the loss of my baby at birth, she was stillborn, things escalated quickly with the types of drugs I was using and the amounts.
You name it and I probably done it.
I had a few friends that died of overdoses. And after having a nurse tell me while I was in the ER, that I was lucky to be alive and if I didn't change what I was doing I was going to die, I knew something had to change.
But it didn't.....
I wasn't truly happy with myself and where I was in life, so I kept partying..... and struggling......and having a void deep inside that I was wasn't filling.
I knew I was meant for more. That I had in no way maximized my full potential as a man, as a human being, as a child of God.
And the only way to maximize my full potential and become happier and more successful in life was to change my mindset. If you want to make a change you must first change the way you think, everything else will follow.
So that's what i did. I started the journey of mastering my mindset.
And that is when everything in my life changed for the better.
I learned:
If you want to improve your health, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to improve your how you experienced the world, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to be more resilient when challenges arise in your life, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to make more money, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to improve your relationship, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to improve your level of confidence and self-worth, you have to improve your mindset!
If you want to be happier and more satisfied in life, you have to improve your mindset!
I learned that your mindset determines everything and have dedicated my life to helping other men becoming the best versions of themselves and changing their lives for the better.
If I can do it, so can you!
This Is What I Believe:
1. Life is short. We must live in the now and live each day with intent, purpose, and passion.
2. With the right attitude and habits you can achieve anything.
3. Taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for growth.
4. Knowledge is not power, applied knowledge is where true power is found.
5. A person is motivated by the desire to achieve and live life purposefully.
6. You are not your past. The past doesn't define you. The decisions you make today will determine your future.
7. Everyone has greatness within them, some just need a little help getting it out.
8. No one is immune to life's difficulties but, you are Stronger Than Failure.
