American Giant. One of the best to have ever done it.

Be Theodore Roosevelt

>Born 1858. New York. Wealthy family.

>Sickly child. Severe asthma. Can barely breathe. Weak.

>Father tells you: "You have the mind but not the body. Make your body."

>Build a gym in your house. Lift. Box. Push until your lungs work.

>Will yourself into strength.

>Enter Harvard. Box. Row. Hunt. Study everything.

>Graduate. Enter politics at 23.

>Mother and wife die on the same day. Same house. Valentine's Day 1884.

>Write in your diary: "The light has gone out of my life."

>Flee to the Badlands. Become a cowboy. Cattle rancher in Dakota Territory.

>Hunt grizzlies. Capture outlaws. Live hard. Forge yourself in wilderness.

>Return East. Marry again. Re-enter politics.

>Become Police Commissioner of New York. Walk the streets at night in disguise. Fire corrupt cops.

>Spanish-American War breaks out.

>Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Resign immediately. "I will not stay behind a desk."

>Form the Rough Riders. Volunteer cavalry. Cowboys, miners, Native Americans, Ivy Leaguers.

>Lead them up San Juan Hill. Bullets everywhere. Horse shot. Keep charging on foot.

>Return a war hero.

>Become Governor of New York. Too reformist. Political bosses want you gone.

>"Make him Vice President. That'll shut him up."

>President McKinley gets assassinated. You're 42.

>Youngest President in American history.

>Trust-bust. Break up monopolies. Take on J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller.

>Create National Parks. Preserve wilderness. 230 million acres protected.

>Build the Panama Canal. "I took the Canal Zone and let Congress debate."

>Win Nobel Peace Prize for ending Russo-Japanese War.

>Finish term. Hand presidency to Taft.

>Go on safari in Africa. Kill lions. Collect specimens for museums.

>Return. Taft has betrayed your policies.

>Run again. Third party. Bull Moose.

>Get shot in the chest before a speech in Milwaukee. Bullet lodged in rib.

>Refuse hospital. Speech is 50 pages folded in your pocket. Bullet went through it.

>"Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot."

>Speak for 90 minutes. Bleeding. Then go to hospital.

>Lose election. Split the vote. Wilson wins.

>Son Quentin dies in WWI aerial combat. Never recover.

>Die in your sleep 1919. Age 60.

Vice President Marshall: "Death had to take him sleeping, for if Roosevelt had been awake, there would have been a fight."

Leaves behind: The National Parks. The Panama Canal. Trust-busting precedent. The modern presidency. A regiment. A stuffed bear named after him. Proof that the sickly can become titans. The belief that action conquers everything.

Happy Thanksgiving beautiful people..

My Journey to Gratitude

My whole life I’ve been chasing wealth and happiness.. I thought the first would bring the second.

I echo the sentiment of many.. Money brings a freedom from an anxiety that certainly makes life lighter for the moment but what I learned thru trial and error was true happiness wasn’t purchasable.. I tried it.. I bought everything. Houses, cars, trips, a professional wrestling ring, atvs, shots for entire bars on numerous continents.. you name it.

In the moments they’re happening, absolute joy… but when it was over.. I usually found me and my thoughts with nothing changed.

I’ve taken a long voyage to get to my current lifeview, although each day is a wonder.. I think a lot of it revolves around watching people disappear. I’ve had too many friends lose their life from decisions or situations they put themselves into.. and also numerous friends die from tragic unexpected accidents.. and I’ve had a few friends take their own lives.

At the end of every show I say “Be a friend, tell a friend something nice. It might change their life”… The reason that exists is because of how I felt after learning of friends deciding they didn’t want to be alive anymore. Most of them were the life of any room they walked into.. so I never thought that I should reach out and randomly send well wishes or compliments to them. I had no idea that they were going thru shit in between their ears. Maybe all it took was one nice thing to be dropped into their world, to change their perspective.

After the constant reminder of the reality of this life, I finally found myself framing these losses that tomorrow shouldn’t ever be expected.. We have no idea what’s coming.

So every morning when I get to wake up.. I am insanely thankful for breath. Life will always be life-ing.. but I’m still alive somehow.

My wife and daughter’s happiness are the greatest fulfillment of my existence.. The boys that I get to lead thru their professional lives are absolute dawgs.. my family’s no longer broke.. but most importantly, I have fucking life.

I am so thankful to exist still.. and today is a day to remind myself of that.

I know the holidays can be tough for a lot of folks both personally and financially.. I want you to know that I think you’re doing fucking great. Keep going.. and the memories of these days are gonna make it even sweeter in the future.

I thank you all for following along with my life.. it’s the dumbest of all time. I get to do so much sweet shit with great people. I’m the luckiest man in the world.. and when I disappear, know that I’m grateful for it all.

Have a great Holiday
