BMX taught me pain endurance

“Pain is just one piece of information.”

I read that quote in Ronda Rousey’s book and it makes so much sense.

The other quote I love is “pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice”.

BMX taught me to endure a massive amount of mental and physical pain in order to accomplish my goals.

That foundation has set the tone for over half my current life and the rest of my life ahead of me.

With a mindset built like what BMX fosters then anything’s possible as long as the desire is strong enough and you’re willing to grind with persistence and faith.

From Broke BMX Athlete to 7-figure Earner

This is my good friend @joshuapmorse.

Josh and I used to ride BMX together. We used to landscape together. We used to party together.

Just stopped riding and built a phone flipping business. He then became the top earner for Verizon making 10-30G’s a month before moving to real estate.

Josh went from being called “dumb Josh” to now having a net worth larger than most will make in a lifetime all while enjoying every day of his life.

Josh drinks @justpruvit ketones as he knows taking care of his brain health means true wealth.

@jciake and I sat Josh down while he was visiting (he moves to Raleigh soon) to share his story and mindset of what it takes to persevere and create true wealth in all areas of his life for The Grey Matters Podcast.

Stay tuned for the drop next week!

Brain Optimization Food

Fat-burning brain optimization food.

I’ll never get bored of this meal. Full of brain healthy fats and proteins.

100% keto and delicious.

@yezfoods coming in with that weekend “indulgence” in the only “keto bread” I’ve fallen in love with.

Wanna burn body fat and remove excess weight, you gotta give the body the materials to do so.

No more “eat less move more”’ mentality as it’s been documented numerous times that this model isn’t sustainable or helpful for brain optimization.

Carbs are not the enemy, our choices and ignorance are. Being fat-adapted and disciplined creates so much liberation from cravings, empowerment on conciliatory choices, increased energy, effortless fat-burning and a sense of freedom to live life on YOUR terms.

This is a great example of a meal that can help facilitate al of the above and I’m here to help bring awareness and support to all of you.

Cheddar, Welcome To The Fam

We adopted an 8 week old lab/Pitt mix that was the runt of the litter and was abandoned early by his mom.

We took him home and I picked off 60 fleas on the way to the vet, got him all cleaned up and made him right at him.

The next day, we went hiking and swimming in the river and now he’s out little Cheddar boy.

Looking forward to this little guy in our lives and watching him grow and explore the world with us.

Thoughts Become Things

Our personality creates our personal reality.

Words are the first step beyond thought leading into emotion, action and manifestation.

Action solidify the words spoken, one way or another and take the desire in the thought and verbal form to the next level of manifesting our desires.

Patterns become our personality and manifest what we think, feel and do on a regular basis. I argue beyond the simplest form of desire, thought and actions, patterns > EVERYTHING.

Choose Gratitude

What we think, do and feel becomes our personality, which becomes our personal reality.

If we desire more than what’s currently in our life, we must be clear on what we desire, think it’s possible, believe we deserve to acquire it and that we can obtain it.

This thought process will lead to the action required to physical manifest the opportunity to obtain our desires.

This combination, along with subconscious programming/auto suggestion, meditation and visualization will create the chemical reaction known as a feeling.

All of this combined with gratitude to be alive is how we make the “impossible” possible and live out the life we envision and desire.

The only reason we don’t do the mental and physical work daily is because we don’t truly believe it works.

I’m here to share that it does work and the life I live today is proof.

It took time for me to fully adopt this concept it apply it but now that it’s apart of my being, I can’t help but share it with all of you.

Being grateful for what’s currently in your life and that yet to manifest is crucial.

Complaint Alarm

I cringe when people complain about what they don’t have in life, especially when it’s something they have the ability to change. It’s all a matter of choices. I say this from a place of love rather than judgment. Why? Because I was once somehow who complained about things I didn’t like.

I’m not perfect and find myself in moments of complaining. The difference from then to now? I have an alarm set to go off when I find myself complaining and asses where it’s coming from. This had been a result of continuous work over the years on personal growth and development. Rather than complain, I ask myself what I could do to change the way my life looks, then go out in our in the damn work!

Too easy today do we find ourselves comparing one life to another without realizing or understanding the story that goes into it. It’s easy to make an excuse for why we can’t do the things we want in life, which allows us to play small and not participate, when comparing our lives to others. “They have it easy” or whatever excuse you can use to fill in that blank is bullshit. People of talent and success are not born with it, THEY PUT THE WORK IN!

I myself was complaining about my health, my career as a BMX athlete., relationships, and my finances. After a lot of educating myself, as well as surrounding myself with people of new mind-sets geared for success, I started to notice a pattern I was stuck in. Not forever, but I was well deep in it. I started to notice my thoughts, my language, and most importantly, my actions. My actions didn’t match my language of a desire for more.

One, how can we want more if we can’t be grateful for what we have today? Two, how can we have the audacity to complain about what we don’t have when we are not putting in the work to obtain it? Three, how can we feel so righteous to judge others of what they have in their lives without knowing even a fraction of their story?

We can’t! Unless we change our thoughts, language, and actions to match our desires, how can we ever expect to be happy and successful? We can’t. It’s really that easy! Change your language, change your thoughts and beliefs, and change your actions! 💚✌️

Just START

Best piece of advice I’ve heard and share….just START!

You don’t have to be the best out of the gate.

You don’t have to run before you can walk.

You don’t have to backflip before you can clear the jump.

You don’t have to speak to large crowds before you can speak in front of the mirror.

You don’t have to write the whole book before you write a chapter.

And, you don’t have to crush heavy weight in the gym before you can make a habit of just going on regular walks during the week and doing some body weight exercises.

STOP overanalyzing your goals.

STOP thinking you need to learn more.

STOP thinking you need to go faster.

STOP thinking you can’t.

STOP thinking you need others to start.

STOP believing the bullshit story you and others have told yourself why you can’t when in fact, YOU CAN.

If I can, YOU can. Just start by believing you want it bad enough to do something about it and can in fact do it!

Then take action and don’t give up!

I get asked “what’s the secret to your success” often and there’s no secret. Starts with a desire, faith in that desire being obtainable, a plan, action and figuring out more along the way.

Read “Think & Grow Rich”, “The Power Of I Am and the Law Of Attraction” or “You Are A Badass” and it’ll make more sense.

EyeQ & Ketones

Before and after with @justpruvit pure therapeutic exogenous ketones thanks to @theaspi.

My EyeQ went up 10 points 30 minutes after consuming Keto//OS NAT and I could feel the difference.

The keto conversation transcends weight/fat loss in such profound ways that if that’s all we focus on, we’re just scratching the surface and devaluing the potential for ketones on so many levels.

Weight loss is a byproduct of prioritizing brian health and performance.
