I love being around high energy positive people who are working on stuff.
Business. Themselves. Spirituality. Fitness. Doesn't matter what.
They are the most attractive people I meet.
When I started in sales after college, I struggled.
I would get stiff and mechanical. I’d fail to connect.
My manager told me one day to just be myself. To be the same guy with prospects I was every day.
I had no idea he was giving me a lesson on life.
The more I am my authentic self, the more I actually connect. In business. In personal relationships. In everything.
Today I try to be me and let the chips fall where they may.
Twenty five years later, the game is the same.
I’m 31 months sober today.
Two years free from cigarettes, one from chewing tobacco this month.
My weight is in the 170’s for the first time in a decade.
If you struggle with addiction, you aren’t alone. It’s impossible to change, until you decide it’s not.
Grateful to God
I was part of celebrating a bunch of people in recovery today. It totaled up to 144 years of continuous sobriety. The room was filled with love, laughter and smiles. Every one of them started in darkness and now live in light. Beautiful.
@TerryCruz264646@bluewmist All of the above. I was broken to my core twice and had to rebuild from scratch. Both times the problem was spiritual at the core but the symptoms were financial, health, and other material things.
I have learned so much from my mistakes and failures.
In almost all of them, they felt like the end.
They were actually beginnings.
I hate the pain. I am grateful for the progress.
