ITS MY 31ST BIRTHDAY TODAY and Im reflecting as I do often. Im reflecting on growing up poor and thinking about what I wanted to be ,who I looked up to, where I wanted my life to be at this point. I spent my early years screwing around and not focusing on my future but by the time I was 21 years old thats all I focused on. I worked 24/7 on building a future and getting my gym Hardcore Fitness to success. I often times and many past birthdays would reflect and I recall being sad thinking of all I missed out on. Hearing friends tell stories of amazing times when I had few to share but the ones of difficulty and hardship. While Im still a little sad to have missed out on many good times with my good friends the fact is I wouldnt change it for the world and the good friends that were meant to be in my life still are and can share in many more good times for years to come. I sacrificed for my future and basically worked through all of my 20s but it was worth it as my gym I worked for has not only provided me a great life financially but also so much more than I ever bargained for. Some of my closest friends and best people I know were once just clients at that gym and now have impacted my life in more ways than I can explain. Young, old, black, white, big, small, they are all amazing people. Its funny, I used to roll with thugs and get in fights and now we get off a party bus for my b day and its 60 year old women, 22 year old young men, all sizes and shapes and ethnicities and its the greatest group of people I could hope to be surrounded with...even though we look like a funny ass group of people haha. I get to wake up each day and go to work helping change these amazing peoples lives and allow them to change mine. I drive to work in my dream cars with my amazing fiancé that Im marrying on a beach in less than two months and so looking at where my life is I can say that while i had fun messing around in my early years and feel sad to have missed good times with friends that Im happy to turn 31 today and be exactly where I am in my life. My best days are in front of me, best memories with my friends are still to come, and Im proud of myself for where Ive ended up and shoes ended up with me on this crazy journey. Im here today and I can say with great confidence that the kid I was years ago would have looked up to the man I am today. He would have been so encouraged to see where hed end up and excited to get to this point in his life.
