What’s Luck?

People say I’m “lucky” but, am I? Or am I not afraid to go after what most won’t? Am I not afraid to NOT give up? It’s all perspective and mine is to take action for what I want and to live the life I want.

I’m not “lucky”. I work, HARD. I don’t believe in luck, I believe in taking action.  I may not have a “9-5” but I work harder than if and when I did. I bust my ass on and off my bike to live the life I have. I wasn’t gifted with anything unless you look at both positive and negative experiences as gifts, which I do.

It’s the lessons and skills I’ve learned and acquired from all the experiences in my life that have allowed me to navigate through life how I want and only how I want. I have begun to trust the process, trust and enjoy the journey, and embrace every moment as an opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed.

I have also surrounded myself with people that are encouraging, positive, loving, in the same energy as I am, and motivated. I encourage you all to change your perspective on life and try to see the good and the opportunity in every situation you come across.

There is no “bad” unless you allow it to be true. Would you rather be right or would you rather succeed?

Let Go

For me, I tend to hold onto the “how” and “when” in regards to my goals with business and personal life. I’ve been learning that the path of resistance, rather than inspiration and faith, makes the journey that much more challenging.

 

The resistance that I’m letting go of in my life consists of doubts, obstacles created from stress and fear, and the subconscious belief that the things we want in life need to come from hard work rather than inspiring work.

 

So, let go of the doubts, fears, anxiety, and stress and embrace the journey from a place of worth, love, peace, light, and confidence. 💚✌️

Having gone through ACL reconstructive surgery and returning to BMX riding better than I imaged, I get asked what I did a lot. My new video walks you through some knee/ ACL exercises you can do.

Steps for ACL Prevention and Rehab:

1. Stability (single leg squats, single lead deadlifts, split stance squats, walking lunges

2. Landing mechanics (stable box jumps with no knees inward on landing, straight hurdle hope, sideways hurdle hops, anti-rotational split stance press holds with a band.

3. Bilateral strength ( back squat, revenge lunge from back squat stance, deadlift.

4. Mobility, stretching, foam rolling, and remember to lift/exercise safely. Don’t push too hard. Start light and work your way up. Especially after recovering from an injury.

Bulletproof Podcast with Josh Perry

I am honored to share this conversation between Dave Asprey (founder of Bulletproof COffee) and I on this episode of the Bulletproof Radio Podcast!

 

“Why you should listen –

Professional BMX athlete Josh Perry was just hitting his career stride when he was diagnosed with the first of three brain tumors at just 21 years old. But even after suffering through brain surgery and recovery, his spirit stayed strong, his resilience stayed intact, and he came out on the other side of his health odyssey with more fire and gratitude than ever before. Josh joins Dave to discuss how BMX saved his life, how he harnessed the power of holistic nutrition and new technologies like Gamma Knife radiosurgery to fight cancer, how to be your own best health advocate, and how he’s sharing his story of survival to advocate for brain health awareness. It’s an inspiring and cool story of triumph you won’t want to miss!

Enjoy the show!”
