“They” have told me a lot of things in my life.
I’ve learned that I’m very stubborn and that my stubbornness isn’t always negative and is in fact what’s saved my life many times.
They told me I’d never ride my bike again and that there’s a shit I’d die either way, surgery or no surgery.
I’m grateful to be alive and sharing my TRUTH with the world and appreciate all the “noise” I get in the process of doing so.

I left behind all I knew up until the point of a few years ago on a quest to progress my life to new levels I desired and envisioned.

This meant radically changing my actions, thoughts, beliefs and who I hung around that were not serving my new mission.
I didn’t have a plan. I just had a goal and a vision. I learned how to properly design and implement an organized plan and its importance as time went on.
The books “Think & Grow Rich” and “The Power of I Am & The Law Of Attraction” have been game changers along my last 3 years and I encourage everyone to read them.

Subconscious programming and conditioning are powerful.
I’ve seen it in many areas of my life now that I’m hyper aware of what it is and how it affects our goals.
Something like strength and condition training can bring any single able body benefit with their health and fitness.
But, we’re often conditioned to think otherwise for whatever reason it may be.
Being a professional athlete for over a decade, people assume I trained outside of my sport but that wasn’t true.
Taking care of yourself and wearing protective gear when you ride isn’t “cool” to a lot of people in BMX and it’s quite sad how I fell into the trap of caring what others thought for so long rather than what intrigued me and I wanted to explore due to being judged.
It’s funny because I get hated on so much now for all the positive changes I’ve made and share but I no longer care and is why I’m seeing so much success in my life.
I can’t thank @jciake and @coachmatthunter enough for all they’ve taught me and how far I’ve come thanks to them in terms of my exercise implementation and passion to do so.
Don’t let outsider noise and distractions control your desires and action, do YOU and remember we’re not responsible for others feelings and actions. Only our own.
Live your life, be aware of the subconscious programming you may be living with and break it down for the life you desire.

Thank you to anyone who was for or against me.
Either way, in support of me or against me, it ultimately led me to where I am today & all I’m doing with my life & for others & I couldn’t be happier.
I’ve fallen in love with the journey while setting new goals every day & keeping my sights always exploring what possibilities there are for my life & my desire I’ve been creating in my mind.
@brianundy & I chatted about this concept of “where your eyes & head go, the rest of your body will follow” concept we have in BMX in regards to learning how to 360 in the beginning.
We were racing exotic cars out here in Vegas yesterday & the driver coaching us in the passenger seat would have to remind us all to stop looking so close in front of ourselves & look forward to where we wanted to go.
Great example of our goals & not getting stuck looking right at where we are but looking forward to what’s next & our new goals.
I talk about this mindset BMX and my hard working family instilled in me at a young age to always pursue what’s next in my life helping me overcome any hardship whether it’s fear, injuries, “failures” or “disease”. That same mindset has allowed me to get to where I am today and build the belief YOU can accomplish whatever you can see in your mind with the belief and persistence to not give up.
Failure only happens when you give up. Giving up doesn’t always mean you stopped pursuing a goal, sometimes it means being self aware enough to change course for the bigger picture / goal for your life and find another route.
This is all to say we have so much support along the way whether we can see it or not. Even the people that didn’t directly support us may have inspired us one way or another.
To be around @brianundy @ryanplowery Terry @magicmaleah @h_kingsbury and the whole @justpruvit family has been amazing and I couldn’t be more grateful for all I’m learning and experiencing.
There’s no such thing as self made and if you’ve read Think & Grow Rich, you understand this.

Manifesting the life you desire is a real thing and I’m living it.
Step one, create the desire in your mind.
Then, you gotta voice it to the universe and really see it in your mind.
Hearing and feeling are powerful sensors involved in this process as well so speaking your desire out loud allows you to hear and feel the words you’re saying.
DOING is one of the most important aspects of manifesting a desire beyond creating the desire initially.
Once you can do this every day in a formal manner, it begins to be second nature and you find yourself in this vibration and energy believing in the desire you’ve created for your life and pushing past fear.
The final step is Prüvit to the world and yourself, hence where action/doing comes in play.
I believe if more people shared the positive in their life, along with the story of how to obtained it, more people would see the potential they posses to create the life they desire.
By Prüving your talk, you’re inspiring others to step into their power and live the life they desire.
The arrow break is a powerful subconscious tool of breaking through fears and mental challenges/blocks.
If you can break an arrow with your neck, what can’t you do?

Have you started towards a goal and found yourself going down multiple paths that don’t really get you any closer to your goal?
I have found as excited I got in the past to learn and try new things, every step away from the original strategy takes us out of alignment.
I’m not saying stay stagnant and in one box, I’m saying I’ve found most success in regards to accomplishing a goal when I stay the course and add the new ideas, concepts and plans to the list to try after some time.
For example, if we’re trying to remove body fat and start on a plan and switch to another plan even 4-6 weeks in, we don’t give it enough time to truly manifest and then get discouraged when we bounce around from plan to plan.
Even with BMX, we can’t try a new trick a handful of times and then move on to another one and expect either to get dialed in a short amount of time if we don’t stay consistent with the process. Once we get the new trick or plan dialed, and see results, we can then add to the plan or just stay the course longer and get it more dialed.
Far too often do we as a society want quick results and miss the long game approach. We’re playing chess here people, not checkers.
We don’t want a success to fizzle out, we want that success to be our new reality long term.

Following my recent post regarding attempting to “tear others down” to make yourself feel better.
How we treat others is a direct reflection of who we are on the inside in the moment.
I’ve witnessed this over and over again and have had to audit who I was and how I was treating others over the years due to my own negativity I was fostering within myself.
A great thing to focus on is “what’s mine is mine and what’s theirs is theirs” meaning, if you are causing no harm and someone’s sharing negativity back, that’s their bullshit. Not yours.
Being confident enough in our own actions and walking our truth is key to not letting others affect how we feel. Because, when we have an emotional state it leads us to taking action one way or another.
If we are in a negative emotional state, guess what, we’re probably not going to take the action we’re proud of.
You can see with that how others may treat us, or try to, treat us poorly and how it’s on them, not us.
We’re not responsible for how others want to lead their life or their emotional states. We’re only responsible for our emotions and actions.
Own your shit and step into your power.

Will I last until October before I ride again?
Although I intended to wait until October, I’m thinking that isn’t quite what I want to do.
Luckily, I have a ton of trips coming up to occupy me and keep me off my bike further but August has me thinking, haha.
I had a great chat with @createdbybrian today about my decision either way and what’s really “walking my talk” in regards to fearing lack of commitment with what I set out to do.
I’m still fulfilling my purpose, I’m still being 100% authentic and transparent, and I’m doing what’s in my best interest.
Although I have zero desire to compete, I still love the feeling of what I’m able to do on my bike.
That ability is something I’m grateful for and brings up another reason why this topic of ability means a lot to me because some out there can’t use their limb(s), maybe lacks a limb in general, or didn’t wake up today.
Beyond living with brain tumors, I’m alive, healthy, strong, and fully able to ride my bike the way I desire.
Would you like to see me ride again?
Josh P. 💚🧠✌️
Comment “yes” if you agree.
No matter what your belief is in which gave you life, how can you expect more if you’re not grateful for the life you have now and all that’s in it?
It’s not about being happy about the “bad” or having to be perfect. It’s not about ignoring that things happen that we don’t always want.
It’s about perspective and fostering a perspective of gratitude to be a living human being with an opportunity to manifest the life you envision for yourself.
It’s about being grateful to feel emotions of all kinds and to have the ability to breath.
No matter what you’re going through, 2 things:
1) someone has it worse.
2) shit could always be worse.
If you’re reading this right now, YOU won and have the ability to make your tomorrow better.
Shoot, you have the ability to make your immediate presence better NOW.
Rather than waiting for “this or that” to make you “happy”, choose to be happy now because YOU literally have all the control to do so. Nothing and no one else.
Once you take accountability for your life, accept your power and CHOOSE to own your life, you’ll see massive shifts occur.
It’s all a choice. Choice the life you want. Don’t let life happy to you.
Allow life to happen FOR you.

It’s weird how much I do and don’t miss this right now.
I’m on a whole other trajectory with my life and businesses that’s got me so fulfilled, excited, motivated and happy.
I have nothing but love and gratitude for BMX but it’s interesting to think about how dependent on it I was for my identity, emotional control, creative outlet and so on.
The hard choice to step away 100% has brought so many amazing people, experiences and opportunities to my life, literally has 5x’ed my income, and has allowed me to crest opportunity for my fitness and family to manifest the life they desire as well.
